I always wonder about this as generally the second or third week a popular movie is out the reviews from people start to be it was good but not that good. Is this because the people who really wanted the movie to be good go first and they are predisposed to liking it more or the latter where people going later have had their expectations raised and therefore are disappointed.
I know for me going in I thought this movie wasn't going to work and was prepared for it to be mediocre and it blew me away with what they accomplished in terms of character and motivation. So my low expectations definitely made me think this movie was better than say someone who came in with a neutral stance.

Yeah I would say that probably played a part in it. I didn't read any reviews other than Facebook posts and tweets saying how good it was, so mostly just hearsay as opposed to reading true reviews. I also felt a little behind as I've missed a few of the newer Marvel movies which also might have influenced some of my understanding as to what was happening in a few scenes.
I think over the next few weeks I'm going to try catch up on the MCU and see if it changes my perspective at all.
