Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Could have been great, but...
This movie had the chance to be something really special, but instead it fell flat. Instead of creating this CGI world of technology far more advanced than the world we are shown in the original trilogy (even though it's set before those times!) they should have stuck with the same type of settings from the originals, it just doesn't mesh, it's like they are two completely different galaxies. There is plenty more I could complain about, such as jar jar binks, the absolutely mind numbing politics, the totally unremarkable whiny character they've built Anakin to be and reliance on the audience being just excited to see the new CGI versions of Yoda and Jaba that we forget the boring and inane plot, and the list could go on. But I will leave it there.
Modern Family (2009)
Started out strong
This show was great for the first 5 seasons, it was original, funny, smart.... then the kids grew up and the writing lost its humour. Season 6 was ok, but after that it just went downhill. It's such a shame they didn't end on a high note rather than drag it out, flogging the horse until it was well and truly dead. Part of the problem was the child actors who were adorable when little but lost their ability to act as they aged!
