I'm trying to think of a film that honestly disappointed me but as a pessimist I'm seldom disappointed.
I could potentially be disappointed by What Dreams May Come but after many attempts to watch it I've yet to make it to the end without falling asleep, (which is no exaggeration btw, thus far it's proven to be an unbeatable cure for insomnia).
While I often look forward to seeing some adaptations, remakes and reboots, I never have a high expectation for them so I'm not disappointed when they turn out to be not as good as the original film, book or stage play. Prime among those would be Lynch's ballsed-up version of Dune but my disappointment there was not in the final film or Lynch's screenplay but that it wasn't the Jodorowsky film with music by Floyd and Magma, and art design by Giger, Giraud and Foss.
Having said that I cannot imagine that anyone could possibly be disappointed by a remake of a truly bad film other than by being disappointed that it was being remade at all. And that goes for so-bad it's good films like Battlefield Earth and Showgirls too.
I also have low expectations for over-hyped films so often they come as a pleasant surprise when they're not as bad as I expected. The only two things that disappointed me in The Hobbit trilogy was firstly that it was made into a trilogy in the first place and secondly, I found the the HFR format quite unpleasant to watch.
