re: Movie you thought was awesome at first watch and terrible later

Pretty much every Van Damme movie I watched followed this logic for me
As a kid - These Movies are awesome
In my Twenties - these movies are terrible
In my thirties - I appreciate the nostalgia and campiness of them
You can add a bunch of 80's action movies to that category actually
Commando
American Ninja
Cobra
Tango and Cash

I can't think of any examples right now, though
Requiem for a Dream springs to mind. Same with the Wrestler and Black Swan.
Don't think I'll ever watch Seventh Seal again or Valhalla Rising. Or any number of other movies. It's a rare movie that can be seen multiple times and a rarer one still that gets better with age. They typically tend to be comedies. The Harold & Kumars and Big Lebowski come to mind.

I would agree 300 was a ride, then I think what a BS story about a real event. Tried to watch later and fricking hate it now.

The Mask
I freaking loved that movie as a kid. I tried to watch it recently for nostalgia value. Watched it long enough to see Cameron Diaz and then turned that shite off. Hell, I'd still turn it on to get a glimpse of her though, she was so fine in that movie.

What in the hell is wrong with you people? These are all solid if not great films. How can you think fricking Fargo is terrible?

First, I like these. DPS is a movie I watch every year at least once, maybe twice. Fargo and Face/Off less so, but will still watch them on occasion. I like Gangs of New York, but it is entirely too fricking long (but it's Scorsese, so what do you expect?).

It is ill paced, overlong, laughably acted (even if purposefully so), and an overall horrid movie. It has a few scenes you watch before going into battle to get your adrenaline pumping; otherwise, the rest of it lays flaccid on screen like an old wrinkled cock.

As a general rule, I would say we should avoid including movies we watched as kids, particularly those movies geared toward children (a la Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Obviously those movies are going to suck now.
But the adult movies, like Van Damme and Stallone movies that we may have caught growing up... Those sort of ride the line with me. I can see those fitting into this.

I can't bring myself to watch these movies as an adult because I don't want to ruin the good memories I have.

Is there a better movie about the Battle of Thermopylae? I precisely like it because of the uniqueness in which the action scenes were filmed.

If you watch it for what it's meant to be, an entertaining movie, then it delivers. It's the same reason I like Rambo III or Avatar. It wasnt meant to be a true historic movie, it was more for action.

While not awesome, I liked Bridesmaids the first time I saw it, and thought it had a uniquely female perspective, or something or other. Anyway, it's was tough to try to watch it again later. The angst between the main character and her new love interest, the cop, was just too hokey and not "full of deeper meaning" as I had first perceived.

Actually a lot of 90s movies that I loved are pretty bad on rewatch now...so overboard, trying too hard.

I agree and the original Arthur with Dudley Moore and My Cousin Vinnie are two movies I've seen a bazillion times and I still laugh and I've caught some funny stuff I missed in earlier viewings, probably because I was laughing at something else.
