its one of those films who are only good at first viewing and you never watch again


1st viewing, tension,suspense,trying to figure out what's happening.

2st and every viewing after that: OMG this movie is slow and paintful to watch. i'd rather play video games instead.

i think i only watched it 2 times and it was like 2 years after 1st viewing.

I enjoyed it more the second time I watched it and will likely watch it again sometime.

well, not everyone has good taste in movies. right? i mean some people love the new star wars movies or the barbie movie and stuff like that... so i wont be critical of you... but objectively its a bad movie with cringe plot

It was ok. Actually thought it was overrated.

Will I ever watch it again? Well, If there is absolutely nothing else on and one is bored to death - yeah maybe.

Either that or take a nap.

I don’t think it was that good. Very mediocre when compared to other films on BFI’s Sight and Sound (2022) GREATEST movies of ALL TIME and in which Get Out is no. 95 out of 250. Beating out Heat which is no. 169. And then to find out the director had a completely different original ending which was more like annihilation which he changed due to - he thought the shifting of social injustice - probably should go back to the concept of his original ending.

Just watched it for a second time.

Still thought it was alright. Enjoyed the humour more on the second run through. Better film overall than Nope I'd say.

The new BLADE RUNNER 2049 or whatever movie was a lot like that too. I was riveted in the theater, and then when I tried watching it on Blu-ray, I lost interest about 20 minutes in. A mystery plot only works for the first viewing unless there are a bunch of interesting clues sprinkled in that you missed the first time around.

It's the same for this, Sixth sense, The Others... Generally good movies, but lose a lot without the suspense.

reply

sixth sense is a weak twist that does not make sense at all. supposudly this game live with his wife and he couldent tell that something wrong when she dosent even notice hes there? not to mention his entire life.

You aren't married, I suppose?

I'm not sure that a suspense movie which remains suspenseful on repeated viewings is actually a thing. How would that work ?

This film is a classic.
