Expectation is everything

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2002)

I don't care what movie you're watching, if you're expecting it to be an amazing life-changing experience, 99% of the time you will be disappointed. In my experience it is the movies that you've never heard of and get dragged to see by friends or significant others that have the best results.
I watched this movie having never seen any previews for it (I doubt many people did see previews considering the circumstances). I walked out of the movie theatre stunned. In contrast, after reading many IMDB reviews concerning Citizen Kane I rushed out to rent it only to be disappointed because I set my expectations too high.
