One of the most horrific examples of this was the formerly working "McG" who did that absolutely horrific visual disaster "Carlie's Angels 2". I enjoyed the first Charlie's Angels, but 2 was an offense to the eyes and ears.

Modern productions try to dupe the audiences into thinking they've seen a spectacular effort, when inf act they've just endured a mess.

There are countless examples, but another is Ocean's Twelve (and I even enjoyed Eleven and Thirteen).
