Happy Gilmore 2. I absolutely adore the first one, and I thought "Well, the second one can't be bad. it's such a great first movie!" Ugh. I was wrong. So very wrong.
Worst. Movie. Ever.

Yea I haven’t seen it yet but a lot of my dumb coworkers were explaining it to me and just from there explaining I was like nah no thanks. I say dumb coworkers because all of them are extremely conservative and all on the anti woke bs.
Save yourself the time. Dont bother with it
The excessive flashbacks were what got to me. If any movie could expect that fans would've watched the first movie 50+ times and be able to quote most of it, I think Happy Gilmore would be on that list.
You’re gonna die, clown!
I thought it was a really good sequel with a nice twist and redemption arc. Considering the first one was almost 30 years ago, it was a test to see if they could capture the humor of the time while updating it.
Now, the most recent Bill and Ted? That did NOT work, and I turned it off after 30 minutes despite wanting so incredibly badly to want to like it.
I was really excited that everyone was finally getting on the Internet.
Mass Effect Andromeda. I loved the original trilogy, even the third one, and I was hopeful that they'd live up to what they were promising. Instead, we got a garbage game that completely tossed the idea of exploring a new galaxy. I tried to play it 3 different times, just to give it a chance, and I couldn't go through with it.

Spore (video game) The original demo was amazing, what actually hit retail just was trash in comparison
I ADORED the first Inside Out, so naturally I was super excited when I heard the news that a sequel was in the works.
Then the marketing started to roll out, until the release, then the critics.
Quickly realized in was a really bad sequel, that suffered because of Disney's anti-LGBT problems, and generally lacks a soul.
Never bothered to watch it. Don't want to ruin the first movie.
FWIW, I really enjoyed both of them. The first is better, but the second is worth a watch IMO.

As a Guild Wars 1 player, I was very excited and really followed the hype for GW2. Only to be disappointed to how different it was from the one. Can't blame them for innovating, but it was not the continuation of what me and my friends wanted. The shift to being more of an actual MMO made me feel completely insignificant in PvE, using just the basic automatic attack or doing my best to combine my skills didn't make a difference, the mob would kill the monster anyways. In GW1, all of PvE is instantiated just for your small group, so in general, everyone's action is important. The PvP felt very generic and didn't have the uniqueness of the 8v8 of the 1 anymore. I really appreciated the constant gameplay innovation from Mike O'Brien (Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, Guild Wars) and the art direction of Kekai Kotaki, but it was just too different of a game.

The sequel to "The Man from Earth" which was called "The Man from Earth: Holocene" (if memory serves). The first one was so good, probably my favorite movie ever. It was hard to imagine they would top it, and they really didn't.
Justified: City Primeval
I LOVED Justified.... The new series was pure shite... Timothy seemed like a fucking side character and went from being a cool badass with a heart, to a joke.
And don't get me started about his forced love interest... Holy shit that was awful.
Outer Worlds. Not really a spoiler but it felt linear as hell up until the very end
