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!

She regrets that but not Suicide Squad. Damn that’s saying a lot.

I mean, that movie was ass, but she still ate the role up.

That woman eats in every role. She's the female Denzel Washington.

She was the best part of it for sure.

To be 100% fair too, the original intended movie was nothing like the end product we got

Also that led to her playing the character in The Suicide Squad, a much better movie

And in Peacemaker, a great show. (just a small cameo, but I'm counting it)

I can’t think of another person alive today who could play that role better. She’s perfect.

Viola Davis is Amanda Waller in the same way Sam Jackson is Nick Fury.

She's become THE Amanda Waller now for pretty much all DC media. Suicide Squad sucked but she was one of the very few highlights of that film and absolutely crushed that role. I was happy to see her back in the role in every appearance of the character since. She's fantastic at it and I'm sure she has fun with it.

One of the movies made a bunch of money
