What’s a movie you were completely wrong about going in? 🎬

We’ve all had those — a movie you went into with low expectations. Maybe the trailer didn’t grab you, maybe the concept felt weak, or it just wasn’t your usual genre. And then… it totally blew you away. Here are some picks people mentioned that surprised them: 1️⃣ Edge of Tomorrow – Looked like another generic Tom Cruise action flick. Turned out to be smart, funny, and endlessly rewatchable. 2️⃣ The Lego Movie – Thought it’d be lame and childish. It was actually hilarious and full of heart. (Lego Batman might be top 3 Batman movies!!) 3️⃣ Shaun of the Dead – Seemed like a cheap spoof. Ended up being comedy gold — one of the best-written comedies ever, second only to Hot Fuzz. 4️⃣ Mean Girls – I wasn’t a fan of Clueless or Legally Blonde, so I had very low expectations. But I went in skeptical and walked out quoting it for years. 5️⃣ Into the Spider-Verse – Expected a dumb kids’ movie. I WAS SO WRONG. Got something visually stunning and emotionally deep. 6️⃣ 21 Jump Street – Came out right before streaming took over. Theater was packed. Expected a forgettable B-comedy — got a crowd-pleaser. 7️⃣ Fried Green Tomatoes – Quiet, powerful, and way deeper than it first appears. So — what movie completely flipped your expectations (in the best way)? What made you change your mind? #MovieLovers #ExpectationsFlipped #MovieTalk #UnderratedMovies
