I think the hype of this movie has oversold it with some people. I saw it early on and was blown away, but for people who’ve been told it’s the best movie ever for months I can see how it doesn’t live up.

This, 100%. I had this exact experience with The Dark Knight. Everyone was telling me it was the greatest, etc. I didn't see it for a few weeks or so, and the hype built up more and more. When you walk into any event with such high expectations, it's almost impossible for those expectations to be met and you walk away left wanting.

I enjoyed The Dark Knight, but definitely felt a lack of satisfaction to some degree. I think I've actually enjoyed it more in later viewings.

With EEAAO, I saw it fairly early in theaters and enjoyed it immensely. I walked out with a Mitch higher level of satisfaction than I did with TDK
