I am 100% convinced they had a masterpiece and then test audiences didn't get it and they went and changed everything around and added the prologue and gave away the entire twist at the start by explicitly telling the viewer where and when we are. Also made the dinosaurs weird for .... reasons...?
The Fall Guy. The show had a very simple premise (stunt crew moonlights as bounty hunters) that really couldn't hold up after multiple seasons. The movie just floundered trying to do too much, and ended up far too inside baseball for normal viewers to really identify with.
Mutant Chronicles, except i don't think about it normally, but immediately comes to mind when somebody asks similar question. Also it wasn't mediocre, it was incredibly bad and the second biggest disapointment movie ever for me (worst was Starship Troopers 2).
Tusk
Came here to say this. That movie showed me depths of fear I didn't know I had yet, it could have had better production values.
The live action transformers movies.
Although I almost never think about it.
And I only saw the first thirty minutes of the first movie.
Idiocracy.
Loved the idea. Film itself... meh
I feel the opposite, the premise is an endorsement of eugenics that looks like it was written by that mother-goose ass neo-natalist couple
The actual film is a decent turn off your brain stoner comedy
Quite a few MST3K films have a decent premise IMO, but lacked either the budget or the talent to make enough of them.
Eg Time Chasers (which isn't really all that bad), The Skydivers, Moon Zero Two, Rocket Attack USA, Stranded in Space, and perhaps even Manos: The Hands of Fate.
With the right people, I think those and others could have been very decent movies.
Eragon.
There is a reason that most fans pretend the film never happened
No Country For Old Men - a slice of life movie about living in Texas.
