Re: Works where you were surprised to learn you were in the minority of viewers
It is very rare nowadays that I watch a movie or read a book without knowing other people's opinions beforehand.
So, sadly, no "huh" moments.
The last time I remember a "huh" moment was with The Mummy (1999). I thought was a barely passable Indiana Jones knock-off, and I assumed that was the general opinion. Only much later did I find out people actually liked it. And general opinion only seems to have improved over the years. Huh.
Edit: Oh, no, actually, a far more recent one: Thor: Love and Thunder.
I disliked Ragnarok, had no intention of watching this one, so I didn't bother looking up reviews.
Then my brother convinced me into the theater anyway, and I actually quite enjoyed myself. I thought it was a vast improvement over Ragnarok.
Reading the reviews afterwards was a "huh" moment for sure.
