Since I'm already thinking of Spongebob, I'll say that the Sponge Out of Water movie was the first large-scale disappointment that I experienced from a delivery perspective.
All of the advertisement showed almost entirely the scenes where they were, per the title, out of water. Once out of water, per the title, Spongebob and the crew were 3D, superimposed into the real world, and they had superpowers. It should've been great.
In the actual movie, they did not become "out of water," per the title, until approximately the last 20 minutes of the movie, if my memory serves me correctly.
I was also a bit disappointed with Avatar: The Legend of Korra. It's not a bad show—it's just that The Last Airbender set the bar so high, and TLOK did not measure up.
Dragonball: Evolution.
Yeah, I forced myself to sit through this shitshow. All it did, was solidify my opinion that animation to live action anime adaptations are garbage and will forever be garbage and I will not care how fondly you think some live adaptation of an anime is done.
The last fight sequence of the movie, was nothing but CGI glittery dust being spat between characters, they couldn't be bothered to make actual ki beams. And they had the audacity to think that they'd be successful enough to warrant another film?
Tool's Fear Inoculum. I wasn't really wow'ed by this album. 13 years since 10,000 days and we got this. Just because every song was 10+ minutes long (save for one and it's a joke song. and excluding the Digital version), doesn't mean it was good. But because people waited so long for another Tool album, they just accepted it.
I still can't understand why the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender exists.

The TV adaptation of Preacher. The comics were more like a western but with a dark sense of humour that popped up when the moment called for it. The tv show was ‘wow, this is so wacky and wild!’ I get the impression Seth Rogan liked the comics but didn’t actually understand them at all.
Enter the Void, kept hearing "so deep" and "a journey" and "perfect stoner movie"
It was self-important navelgazing - the movie - one of the only movies I stopped watching cause it just pissed me off
And I've watched Nazis at the Center of the Earth, and Postal
Europa: The Last Battle
Thought it was a different perspective on WWII with unseen information.
Nope, just nazi propaganda. I couldn't verify a single thing they said. (Or I could verify that they were false)
I could only watch 2 episodes before I called it quits.
Obi Wan Series, Star Wars 8, the movies series "road to...", Starlight express (i kinda expected a bit more. Its still amazing but it was just so build up to be this fantastical spectacl), lunar eclipses, blue moons, and the arms museum in portsmouth UK

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
Concept was great but I really didn't like how the story developed past book 1. I know the series has its fans, but it's a big nope for me.
I'm certainly one of those fans.
I read His Dark Materials way back, when I was perhaps 13, and that was probably the right time in my life to read it because I'd never been as emotionally invested in a character before as I was in Lyra.
I genuinely feel like reading that trilogy made me a better person, weird to say.
I haven't read the books in a long time, but they have a place on my bookshelf in recognition of what they meant to adolescent me.
The DnD movie. It's just Marvel slop with a couple weak jokes/references.

I read the book Flashforward.
Then I watched the TV adaptation
