A couple that come to mind;
"Inside Llewelyn Davis" by the Coen brothers. I want to be overwhelmed by Coen brothers movies. This one had the opposite effect.
"Elvis" with Tom Hanks and Austin Butler. I'm apparently not the audience for this glitzy, fast-cut, chopped up mess. I was hoping for more traditional storytelling weighted towards the story of Col. Parker.
Lets not finish on a bummer, though. A movie I looked forward to and loved was the Coen's remake of "True Grit". What a masterpiece. I'll watch it anytime it's on.
('True Grit' jogged my memory - a movie I had zero expectations for that's now one of my favorites is 'Hell or High Water' with Jeff Bridges)
