Update: I hated the 'Dune' movie at first but gave it another shot
Saw the 2021 'Dune' in the theater and walked out mad. Felt like it was just a long trailer for a second movie. Then my buddy in Austin made me watch it at his place last week on his big TV with good sound. The scale of it all hit different at home. The quiet scenes with the voiceovers, the way the sand looks. I finally got what Villeneuve was doing. It's not the book, but it's its own thing. That changed my whole view on adaptations needing to copy every page. Anyone else have a movie they liked better on a second watch?

Hard disagree, a bad first watch usually means it's just not a good movie. Setup doesn't fix a weak story. @willow_martin's coffee example is different, that's about taste changing. A film should stand up on any screen. If it needs perfect conditions to work, that's a flaw in the filmmaking.

Oh man, that happens with music for me all the time. A song sounds weird on phone speakers, but then you hear it in a car with good bass and it just hits. First time I tried black coffee I hated it. Thought it was just bitter water. Tried it again when I was really tired and needed to focus. Now I get it. Some things need the right context to make sense. Your setup at home was the context.
