This is a bit hard to put in words.
Let's say you're just coming out of a theater after watching a movie. You're thinking about the movie you just watched. You're feeling that the movie was the greatest movie you ever saw (that you'll give it 10 out of 10).
Some time passes, say a couple of days, and you're again thinking about it. This time, however, you're feeling that the movie was just okay, it wasn't as great as you thought two days before (that you'll give it 7 out of 10).
My question is, what do you call what you were feeling earlier (or how do you put it in words)?

What about infatuation? It describes an intense but short-lived passion or admiration for someone or something. I felt exactly like this about the movie Her recently.
