I am a lifelong fan and not looking forward to this one.
I will see it. I have, in fact, been lucky enough to see all his films in a theater since Husbands and Wives. The coolest thing about being a lifelong fan (I was 13 when Husbands and Wives came out), I have seen young people and old people at all of the screenings. When Woody started, he had a college student audience. Those students grew up. Many of them are at the screenings, but new college students come too.
I like most of his films. I love many and hate only a few. I am tired of all of the affairs in his films. I think I liked Crisis more than most people simply because it had a long time supportive relationship in it.
I was meh on Irrational Man and Cafe Society had some things that were as good as it gets (Judy Berlin for one), the poor treatment of Lively's character and the unlikeable lead made me lose interest this time. The best actor playing the WA character has always been Mr. Allen but now that he is old, it's a real problem.
I like many of his dramas I like Winslet. I won't skip this for any reason. But I feel a kind of blah attitude for the first time.
