Wolverine movie
X-Men Origins: Wolverine vs. my expectations:
Hugh Jackman drool expectations: Exceeded
Pointy object fu and things blowing up expectations: Met
Plot making enough sense while the movie lasted expectations: Exceeded (but my expectations were pretty low)
Plot elements not making sense five minutes after the movie was over expectations: Met
Racism & sexism expectations: Pretty much as expected
Totally gratuitous use of a fat suit: Unexpected. Ewwwwwww.
The OH has read the Wolverine origin stories and said they changed a bunch of things in ways he didn't like. I haven't read all the Wolverine origin stories and there was only one thing I knew they had changed.
Credits and post-credits easter egg expectations: Exceeded
ETA: Spoilers in comments

Heh.
I'm sure all of these are listed on the Tropes pages somewhere, they are *exhaustively* comprehensive, not to mention hilariously creative in their trope-naming.
But! I can disprove this trope: May-December Archeologists.
The movie/TV series Stargate had the young Daniel Jackson and the old Catherine Langford (who started out as the Beautiful Young Daughter, but still...)
