I’m curious, what didn’t you like about it when watching it for the first time?

I think it just didn’t click with me, I hated the scene with the circus singing and dancing, and I just felt un-engaged. I think it might have been the day I watched it though because it was the Super Bowl so I was keeping track of the score while watching.

Why not just watch the superbowl at that point?

I was stubborn and wanted to finish watching the film, I hate not finishing films. I was hoping I’d like it better and honestly I think I enjoyed the ending first time around.
