Man, all this overhype and praise for the film Toy Story 3 has me a bit anxious and uneasy that the "unprecedented" praise it is currently receiving will not live up to what's going around. Just a random thought, and I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it nonetheless.
What's junk is relying on others to pave the way for you to discover and enjoy the literally thousands of films that are produced each and every year.
Regarding your two very terse examples, I agree with The_Jazz about his sentiments, on both counts. I can't honetsly recall if I actually enjoyed The Matrix initially at the time, mostly because I didn't get it, and then when I did, I was left wanting. Taking on briefly the account of LOTR, I can almost hardly believe that was only a trilogy. I can still remember maybe investing a good solid third of my day (~eight hours) watching these films back-to-back, way back whenever. Visually-striking and beautifully captured, it was great in the moment of it, but as the story progressed, and then dragged on, I was just hoping for it to end already. I doubt I'd want to watch these films again, though (in this decade).
