Have you ever outgrown a movie you once liked?

Yeah. Im embarrassed to admit I enjoyed Baby Geniuses when I was younger.

That's interesting question. I mean, isn't it possible that the movies outgrow us?

Any film starring Robin Williams is pretty easy to outgrow.

I've finally met an out and loud Adam Sandler fan online I don't know whether to disinfect my computer after having witnessed such an online tragedy or mourn your dignity.

Annie Hall--I was about 17 when I first saw this, and like a lot of people at the time, I thought it was brilliantly done and Woody Allen was endearing in his semi-annoying way. Seeing it again recently, I still think it's brilliantly done--but Allen's character in the film is creepy and repulsive. I don't think that reaction is
just because of all the things that have come out about Allen over the years, particularly his predilection for "just old enough" teenage girls and all of his subsequent films featuring older, not especially attractive men with pretty young women whom you know could do better. It's jarring now to see this from an older perspective, and realize that Singer's attraction to Hall was her naivete and social awkwardness, the better to try to manipulate
her into his misanthropic way of seeing the world--avoiding social gatherings, seeing WWII documentaries instead of something more lighthearted, only reading books with "death" in the title, etc. What I thought was a wistful ending to the movie now seems more like a happy one--Annie Hall herself, ironically with Singer's help,
has matured into a more confident woman who has profited from Alvy's mentoring by outgrowing him; the ending of that controlling relationship is the best thing that can happen to her. (Tony Roberts' line, in which he encourages Singer to stay in L.A. because he knows some 16-year-old twins he can sleep with, is a more glaring reason to dislike this film, given Allen's current notoriety; I don't recall anyone having a problem with that line when the movie was first released, which reflects that era's viewpoint).

Still a good movie, but Allen is so much harder to take on recent viewings.

Not really. My opinions for movies that I liked as a kid, for example, are pretty much the same as an adult. Of course there are some exceptions here and there I'm sure.

Probably…although I’m drawing a few blanks as to which ones. I’m absolutely certain my tastes and tolerances have changed over the years tho.

The only example I can think of is T2 which went from my favorite of the series to second favorite behind the first. Not a giant step down I know…but a change nonetheless.

The A-team movie. I loved this back in high school cause it was the coolest thing seeing an A-team movie finally. Watching it today though MAN I can see why critics were mixed on it. It just does not hold up. The actors were VERY miscast and maybe that’s not the actors fault, but how the characters were written. Liam Neeson and Sharlto Copley are my BIGGEST issues with this. I couldn’t stand Neeson’s take on Hannibal. I just could not recognize one of my favorite characters from the show with Neeson playing him. I saw a grumpy old man. Not Hannibal.

In the show Hannibal for the most part was a pretty happy go lucky kinda guy who always carried a smile. This Hannibal smiled maybe 2 times. And he talked in such a stern tone and it just bothered me.

Murdoch in this too was HORRIBLE!! Sharlto I understand was a fan of this show, but his portrayal was just so poor. Again this may have been because of how the movie was written, but I saw no Murdoch. He was never really that crazy in the movie at least not to me.

The action doesn’t hold up either. I mean some of it was cool, but the more I watched it the lamer it got. Also the ending where they’re on the shipping containers. That’s been done in so many other movies from that year. I swear it was in RED, The Losers and The Expendables. Could they have picked somewhere less original?

I’m honestly glad it never got a sequel because I’m sure I would’ve liked it even less.
