I heard a great point about pre-90's or so reviewers, who 'got it wrong' the first time & changed their minds, via The Ringer's Rewatchables The Godfather Part II pod.
A critic in the all the way into the 80's went to see a film once, maybe twice. It wasn't being rented for home release, barely on tv, etc.
I've changed my own tune on countless films, not least the likes of 2001 ASO, The Big Lebowski, etc...
That critics are panned for their first takes isn't a well aged fad. If they change their minds, so be it.
