I've also noticed that I seem to "linger" in the world of the movie like I did with (especially) the first Pirates of the Caribbean, it's just so intact and believable, that I actually felt and still feel a little pissed to get pulled back to the real world after the movie.
I actually wouldn't mind all the otherwise great movies being remade in a way that they were more immersive. That's just in theory, of course, but what I mean is that a movie doesn't have to be a breakthrough to be amazing. So in effect, theoretically, movies with great stories but dull or dully described worlds could be improved and I wouldn't mind the ripping off.
