What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?

It's weird, because OP says "form" of entertainment, but everybody is reporting "piece" of entertainment.
I'm drawing a blank of form of entertainment. On piece of entertainment... I mean, I don't know. I don't get excited for things pre-release. Hopeful, at most.
I'll say that the first Spider-Man movie is SO much worse than you remember.

The Hobbit (trilogy)
I love the LotR trilogy, just so well done. I knew De Toro started the Hobbit and I was hyped! Then he departed and it was a bit concerning, but Jackson was coming to the rescue so it couldn't be that bad, right?
It did not need to be a trilogy. Adding more characters who are women was a good idea, but doing it for a romance subplot was stupid. Legolas didn't need to be included at all, there were enough characters already and another dude didn't help out.
Then there was the inconsistent tone, the stupid barrel ride crap and goblin caves super mario scene and the whole thing missed the point of the book which was about a bunch of bumbling dwarves, most of which were past their prime, hiring a hobbit to be a spy to raid a dragon horde. Instead we got superhero dwarves doing outrageous stunts and a ton of side characters padding out a trilogy.
Ugh.

I feel like dictionaries are over rated as a form, since they lead to nit-picky comments like this

Probably BluRays. DVDs were much better than VHS, but storage got a lot cheaper to get me the quality I wanted from films from downloads.
I appreciate that BluRays have a need, so I wouldn't call them trash. I just don't need them.
Also not really a new form of media, but modern video games. There isn't enough of a technological jump anymore. The last thing that got me excited (or at least curious) was VR. But that's not really approachable for me, so I can't enjoy it.

3D TVs. Not that 3D and very little content. Not worth the money.

Probably same reason why the Nintendo 3DS died.
Very gimmicky.IMO: VR is better anyway.

That's because HD-DVD was the real new standard, but Sony killed it.

VR is too expensive for mass adoption

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3,
I don't think I've ever matched this level of disappointment while sitting in a Movie theater since. -

Mulan. The live action remake was so bad, but I had high hopes because I like the original.

Starfield.
All Bethesda had to do was make it at least as good as Skyrim. Not Oblivion or Morrowind, but Skyrim.
But they couldn't even manage that.

So was 3D.
Remember the prices for 3D TVs?

You've never played the board game or LCG? Those are analog gaming masterpieces.

That would require friends and disposable income. If I had all that, I would just buy the Dark Souls modular board game

I bought one. It was expensive but nowhere close to VR.

And it had questionable casting
