It can be, but you can't say that time can't widen our perspective on things. Film criticism has not existed for very long so our understanding of what can make a film great or what makes a film less than great or why another generation would label something great and this one not do so is evolving (and devolving as well sometimes). It's healthy to see what is sacred and what's a sacred cow. It's how culture evolves.
