What movie was critically acclaimed when it first released, but is hated now?

The Blind Side (2009) with Sandra Bullock is the first to come to mind for me!

Yeah, it really was the story of “the dude who was the best at everything and didn’t waver.”

But it didn't explain WHY, and that's the best part. Character development is so fucking important.

Why? Because his dad gave him that speech about sheep dogs and wolves and sheep. Duh.

It's like the people who go to a job interview and under faults they say "I just work too hard" but made into a propaganda film.

my takeaway from the film was that he was a shittily adjusted person who war didn’t help solve the issues he needed to solve… did I somehow misread the movie or perhaps in my memory combine it with his wikipedia or something?

Much of the conflict of the film is about him being a fuckup who can't live a life as a family man, what do you mean?
