Most disappointing movie ever (high expectations, but flopped)

[DrewDevil]

My biggest movie disappointment ever was watching the Keaton/Nicholson Batman in 1989. My best friend and I drove all over town to find a theater that wasn't sold out, and then.... WTF. Not the worst movie ever, of course, but WTF was Tim Burton thinking?

I thought Keaton/Nicholson Batman was pretty good.

The Good Shepherd. Incredibly slow-moving/boring imo.

The Phantom Menace (obvious winner)


Godzilla (this was one of the first of the big budget Hollywood remakes of old classics, and I was really excited about it coming out)

Zyzzyx Road had a budget of two million dollars, but only made $20 according to IMDB. That has to be some kind of record!

EDIT: I suck at reading posts...

Heaven's Gate cost over $35 million (1980 dollars, making it one of the most expensive movies made up to that point) and grossed under $3.5 million. It essentially destroyed United Artists and the career of director Michael Cimino.

I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.

Either way, I was only like eight when it came out.

I thought it would have been impossible to screw up a parody of teen movies, but Not Another Teen Movie proved me wrong.

I thought that movie was pretty charming.
