I say that because that's precisely what Weltall did. When he first saw AotC he raved about how cool it was, but then a few weeks passed and he said that it sucked. And why was that? The same reason why that happened to so many other people. Critics and entertainment magazines despise Star Wars. The press likes to poke fun at it whenever it can, and most people are afraid to even admit that they liked AotC. The same thing happened with ESB and RotJ when they came out. You might be surprised to hear this but ESB wasn't widely accepted as the best SW movie until the 90's. Critics and the press hated ESB.
If someone isn't passionate about something then sometimes they let other people decide how much they should like it. Look at how many die-hard Rare fans called Jet Force Gemini a crappy game because of some of the less-than-great reviews that it got. It was a great game, but most people don't want to like something that the "professionals" hate so much.
And before you say "but that's what you did with DK64!", let me correct you. DK64 got mostly great reviews, and when I got the game I was super-excited about it. The first hour of play wasn't that great, but I was certain that it was going to live up to the hype. Hours went by and I kept on excusing it until I eventually realized that it really wasn't going to get any better. I did beat it though, so I gave it a chance. I was just expecting something much better. But let's not turn this into another DK64 debate. Ugh.
