This and The Joker are the two movies that come to mind when this type of question comes up. Inception is not particularly bad, just so… correct. I was expecting something really mindbinding, that would make me rethink about it long after the movie was over. It was just a pretty scenery with mid acting. No amount of practical effect can carry a movie on his own. The Joker on the other hand was just a waste of my time and left me infuriated.
This one for me too. I watched after hearing all the hype, and I just thought it was subpar at best and actively bad at worst.
I figured it was because those who hyped it had never been exposed to the ideas in the movie and thought it was special. While my old ass had seen these ideas hashed and rehashed a dozen times over the years.
It felt like a new Brat Pack phoning in a pay check.

It was the whole time in dreams goes by exactly 10 times faster than reality that lost me on that one.
This is why I consume zero hype for any movie. Ive ruined so many movies by having a set of expectations going in.
