We, however, have gotten conned by what we thought would be good movies and were wholly disappointed.
This year the BIG DISAPPOINTMENT movie was "Monument Men", they, IMHO , blew it entirely.
You should have asked before seeing it. Seriously. I would have told you even before the reviews came out to not see that film.
The Clooney film was initially scheduled for Christmas release in the US. A couple of weeks before Christmas, George Clooney and the studio pushed it back to its February release. When movies are relegated to February (especially in this fashion, it means the studio has lost all confidence in the movie).
I was pretty excited to see the WWII movie until they bumped its release date. Still haven't seen it.
The studio is doing the same thing for the once highly anticipated Wachowski siblings return to original big budget sci-fi:
Jupiter Ascending (2015)

It was supposed to open 11 July 2014 (USA) along side the Planet of the Apes sequel but it too was delayed until February. The director is claiming problems with unfinished CGI effects.

To be fair, Jurassic Park didn't come out of no where. The movie was preceded by a global megabest-seller from Michael Crichton.
To be fair,
