I know penchant are immanent , but I was not expecting some of the films that made this list .
Recently, I stumbled upon aReddit threadthat touched upon the latter. In the thread userpersonwithmusicasked: “Any movie that you have seen for the first time and loved it and watched for the second time and hated it?”
1.“EnjoyedBarbiethe first time, but it gets worse on subsequent viewings.”
2.“DriveandBaby Driver. I don’t hate them, but definitely enjoyed it less than when I saw both originally in theaters.”
3.“I loved bothBreakfast ClubandFerris Bueller’s Day Offwhen I was a kid. I rewatched them as an adult and was unbelievably irritated at all the whiny and entitled teenagers, LOL.”
4.“Avataris a good example. I thought I loved the first one in the theater, with all the dazzling 3D visuals. I thought it would become another big classic. Then I saw it again a few years later, and it didn’t age well at all. It just felt empty and fake.”
5.“You’ve Got Mail. I remember liking it and thought it was a nice rom-com. I rewatched it recently, and it is so misogynistic. They both are emotionally cheating on their partners, and Tom Hanks makes Meg Ryan’s character sell her bookstore and give up everything she worked for. Then she is supposed to be in love with him??? And he doesn’t offer her anything in place of her bookstore or a job???”
6.“I used to loveDazed and Confusedwhen I was in high school. I started to watch it for the first time in years with my younger sister, and we turned it off about a half hour in.”
7.“The Last Jedi. It looked cool on the big screen, but then I thought about it.”
8.“The Rise of Skywalker.The first time I saw it in theaters, and thought,Oh, that wasn’t as bad as people said!But as time passed…”
9.“Sucker Punch. I remember seeing it in theaters and enjoying it. Then I watched it again at home, and I was like, ‘WTF am I watching right now???'”
10.“Tenet. The first time I watched, I was like, ‘Whoa, that was mind-bending and cool — definitely need to rewatch.’ The second time I watched, I was like, ‘Wait, WTF? This makes no sense. It is impenetrably complex, and I feel like Nolan is now trolling us.'”
11.“Inception. I remember wanting to like it so badly during the hype. I liked Christopher Nolan. I liked all the actors. Plus, the plot seemed original. And the first time I watched it was fine. But it definitely was not as complex as everyone said it was. Without the building mystery it doesn’t hold up well. But that’s my opinion.”
12.“I thoughtIndependence Daywas amazing the first time I saw it in theaters in my youth. Watched it again maybe a week later and already thought it had worn out all its charm and surprises. Years went by, and some of the YouTuber film critics/commentators I follow had reevaluated it as having become a bit of a classic. So, I gave it another go but still just couldn’t get into it. I don’t think it’s terrible or anything, just meh.”
13.“The originalMortal Kombatmovies. I had been telling everyone how awesome they were…then I saw them sober.”
14.“The first horror movie I ever watched wasCloverfield. It really hit me hard in high school; then as an adult, I watched it again, and it was so…BORING! Like, the action doesn’t even start until halfway through the movie! I can’t believe I considered it really scary at one point in my life?”
15.“TheAmerican Piemovies, society has changed so much since then.”
16.“Battleship. I thought it amazing the first time. The second time, I was embarrassed I said so.”
17.“The firstSuicide Squadfilm. I thought it was fine when I saw it in the cinema with my friends. But after a rewatch alone, I hated it.”
18.And lastly, “Unpopular opinion butEverything Everywhere All at Once.”
