Sometimes it doesn't take a huge mistake to ruin something - just a small one. Throughout the course of cinematic history, then, countless motion pictures have been spoiled because the filmmakers failed to hone a relatively small aspect of production: a miscalculated ending, perhaps, or the casting of a particularly unsuitable actor, or an unfitting soundtrack, even. Although a good movie can exist with a few flaws, of course, a great movie should feel relatively uniform from start to end - a consecutive piece of work that appears to flow as one fluid whole, and looks to be consistently firing on all cylinders.
