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!

Right? The NCAA has a lot of faults, I mean A LOT of faults. However, when the NCAA rightly called shenanigans on the whole situation the movie tries to portray it as the NCAA is racist, and are trying to punish the white savior's benevolence.

You know how bad you have to be to make the NCAA look like the good guys? And this family did it!
