Starship Troopers. Not an abysmal failure, but the way I hear it told, they had budget for either bugs or powered armor, and they went for great bugs. Personally, I suspect there were dramatic reasons for not using powered armor, but regardless, many felt this gutted the story as presented by Heinlein and turned it into just another bug hunt.
