Going to give an old example and a new example.
I remember liking the Aeon Flux movie. Don't remember too much about it, but I remember enjoying it, and favorably comparing it to Ultraviolet which came out around the same time. Recently I heard someone bring it up in a podcast as a terrible movie and it turns out it's pretty universally panned lol.
A more recent example is The Watchers. I thought it was pretty good and kept my interest the whole time, but seems pretty middling from reviews. A lot of people especially didn't like the ending, which I guess was kind of sudden, but still alright imo. Not noteworthy in being especially bad or anything.
Aeon Flux movie would have been fine as a normal action movie. It was a terrible Aeon Flux movie.
I agree. Kinda hard to make that movie true to the source material though when the whole point is that Aeon dies at the end every time.
I believe it. Coming in blind having never having seen the original probably helped a lot.
