I think the last movie I watched that I really wanted to love but just didn't was A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, the film with Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers.
I really thought I'd love it, or at least like it, but there was just enough off about it, decisions either with the story or the acting that on their own wouldn't have ruined the movie, but added all together just left me feeling disappointed in the final product
There were things about it that I really did love, especially as someone who grew up watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Using shots of model planes and cars for transitions between locations like the show did was a very nice touch (and the one time they didn't do that it works for what they're going for). But overall, I walked out of the movie feeling let down. I don't know if it was because I set my expectations too high and it was just different than I was expecting or what, but I heard a lot of people really loving it and it just didn't work for me.
