People Criticized These 20 Movies That Should Have Been Amazing But Were Actually Completely Disappointing

Have you ever felt disappointed while watching a film? What can you say about your experience?

When people look for upcoming movies, they usually seek something that not only features their favorite actors or actresses but also has a compelling story. Trailers play an important role in helping viewers decide if a film is worth watching.

However, as necessary as this marketing strategy is, the film itself remains the main concern. There are instances when the trailers are good, but the actual movie is somewhat "meh" for viewers, leading them to advise others against watching it to avoid wasting their time.

For this type of experience, an anonymous user named NAJ2OO2 asked the Reddit community, "What movie had a great concept but was executed poorly?" Various users shared how they regretted spending two hours on a movie when only the first or last 15 to 30 minutes were interesting.

Despite having such amazing plots, the execution was so poor that it ruined the films. Check out the list of movies included in this story that people in this online community shared to understand why these films did not meet viewers' expectations.

They could have done so much better than ruining the story and the film's potential. However, this does not mean that it is too late to release better versions to do justice to these concepts.
