:p
So expectations before a movie are bad? [/b][/quote]EDIT: Misread the post. No, expectations are not bad but they shouldn't effect the movies. I expected a Goodfellas-esque movie with Mean Streets and got something completely different. That doesn't mean I immediately disliked it because it was different. If I go into something expecting arthouse and get something different I'm not gonna shun the movie away. [/b][/quote]My bad on the misreading of the post. I understand what you're saying and I can agree with it, however for me at least I think if I watch a movie and it's not what I'm expecting I'm more disappointed than anything else. I don't think you can help that, I think it's just human nature. When you see previews for or hear someone talk about a movie and you form this perception of it in your mind and it's not what you expected, I agree you shouldn't base the movie solely on that but I don't think you can deny the disappointment that goes with it.
