Twilighted

When a book of high popularity is adapted into a film but is only regarded as a good film by those who liked the original book and is regarded as terrible by everyone else. The film likely would also include a large amount of, in retrospect, unwarranted hype.

"I loved that book and the movie was all I dreamed it would be."

"What are you talking about? They completely twilighted that movie!"
