Movies You Liked At First But Get Worse With Each Viewing

IMO Joker (2019) and The Dark Knight (2008)


both DC cultprits I remember coming out the theatre after watching both like but every time I rewatch either they get worse and worse. I consider Todd Phillips Joker genuinely trash now while the Dark Knight is just mid

Turns out Kevin Spacey was just channeling his natural behavior in ‘American Beauty’. It’s incredible how poorly this film has aged. That whole sub-plot with the high school student...

More recently? Probably ‘Longlegs’. The marketing allure has long worn off. Nicolas Cage looks more ridiculous than scary in it and the whole thing comes across like a half-baked Se7en/Silence of the Lambs that wants to eat its supernatural cake too.

Force awakens

I was so over a new Star wars..them trailers fooled me good ..and I liked the film on first watch, and kinda ignored the new hope similarities...but shyt that sequel trilogy is garbage

Scarface is like the only movie I've watched that I initially liked, then later times I said was bad, then after repeat viewings, I knew it was trash. By the time I was a teenager and rappers were listing it as their go-to favorite, I no longer watched it at all.
