I've occasionally seen well-known movie critics reverse themselves — almost invariably giving a second positive review to a film they dissed the first time around and never the other way around. Roger Ebert famously gave "Unforgiven" an indifferent review then changed course shortly thereafter when an overwhelming preponderance of the critic corps lavished it with praise. He begged off that he was distracted by his upcoming marriage. A decade later, he went so far as to include it in "Great Movies," his compendium of reviews of masterpieces.
