That film was a huge letdown, but of course it came in at No. 1, because its primary competition consisted of Alien 3, Universal Soldier, Patriot Games, and Lethal Weapon 3, the one that tried to make a selling point out of the fact that Mel Gibson and Danny Glover's perfectly good cranky bromance from the first film had permanently become an awkward Joe Pesci threesome.

Despite the pomp, the grand set pieces of the summit were something of a letdown; media access was extremely limited (Trump even seemed to expect a sympathetic ear in Kim, a man whose country has no independent media whatsoever, when complaining about US journalists), and at times, reporters who had traveled thousands of miles were forced to crowd around TV screens with low volumes, straining to hear what was being said.
It was one of the best trips I have ever taken, but of course there were difficult moments: The singalong bus tour ended up being somewhat of a letdown, since it was pouring and the tour guide did not have Von Trapp-worthy pipes; It took way longer to navigate from point A to B on my own; Some of the sights I wanted to see were already full.
As jurors deliberate the fate of former Trump campaign manager Paul ManafortPaul John ManafortTrial of ex-Obama White House counsel suddenly postponed Top Mueller probe prosecutor to join Georgetown Law as lecturer DOJ releases notes from official Bruce Ohr's Russia probe interviews MORE, it's a bit of a letdown for Trump critics that Manafort wasn't charged with anything having to do with alleged Russia collusion in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Ridley Scott's 1982 film may now be viewed as a crucial, even epochal vision of 21st-century dystopia, but upon its release, Blade Runner was a financial letdown, not to mention a movie that generated far-from-warm feelings from its creators: Harrison Ford was famously miserable throughout the wet, smoke-filled, delay-riddled shoot—as was Scott, who had to face off with not only anxious financiers, but also irritated crew members.
I related so hard to every chapter: coming out, then realizing you have no idea how to dress anymore, even though there shouldn't be any such thing as looking "gay enough"; getting pumped for your first pride event as an out gay person but then it's kind of a letdown; worrying about how people who loved and related to you before you came out will be able to reconcile this new version of you.
