It's nice when you wait a while for something you really love, and then it's all you've ever dreamed of. However, it's not so good when you wait, and have to sacrifice stuff because you believe something will be good and then it isn't and ruins your life. Either way, expectations can be misleading..
For instance, Pirates of the Caribbean: On stranger tides came out the other day, and me being a huge fan and all, asked everyone who had seen it before me what they thought of it. Some said it was rubbish and really boring, whilst others said it was amazing and very funny (obviously the latter is true). In my opinion, I think that the people who went to see it were all fans, but some were only fans of what they are used to like, some people missed the old storylines, and didn't like the fact that there were new characters and interweaving stories, whereas the other fans just loved the ideas, and were willing to go along with anything!
In my view, the film was very good, it was amazing to see the old characters being themselves again, but in new ways, and it was interesting to go into more depth into the characters' lives. But in my view, those people who went in knowing full well that "Will" and "Elizabeth" would not be entertaining them, they were already in a bad frame of mind, and already in the back of their heads thinking, "this will never be as good as the other films." so they already made up their minds. However, go see the film, brimming with optimism, and I garantee you will thoroughly enjoy it!
I sound like a loser, I know, but seriously I'm not this lame, I'm just trying to get my point across :)
