I didn't like 'Alien' when I first watched it but loved it second time.
..with 'Pitch Black' it took me 3 goes!

I have quite a few. Quite often I grow to love a film and can't work out why it didn't notice how good it was the first time round.
I'm the same with music.
Here's a few where they grew to be some of my favourite movies.
Far and Away
Contact
Mars Attacks
Starship Troopers (I just didn't get how tongue in cheek this was the first time around)
Jerry Maguire
The Incredibles
The Mummy
Pirates of the Carribean - Curse of the Black Pearl.

The Matrix.
First impressions were that it was two fanboys throwing all their Manga love and other geeky influences on screen with little real substance behind it other than being 'high concept'.(see also: their Speed Racer adaptation).
I've since learned to enjoy it mainly for the action. Which is the only good thing about the sequels.

The R2 (UK) version DVD is slightly cut as well.

I hated district 9 the first time I saw it but liked it the second time.
I was quite late coming to Alien, and I didn't much like my first viewing partly because I don't actually enjoy suspense. I appreciated it more on rewatching. And it seems to me that it's quite well-paced; plenty does happen.
If anything, Aliens is the slow one, at least in the original cut. Nothing happens for the first half hour. It's just Ripley trying to explain to the board how she lost her spaceship. It gets better once they wake up on their mother ship, and, well, it keeps getting better. But it's slow at first. (I don't like the Director's cut as much as the original, but some of the added scenes do help the early pacing.)
In general, the films I tend to dislike on first viewing are ones I come to after they've been massively hyped. The Matrix was another. I was mostly paying attention to the story, which is thin if you are used to SF. I still prefer the second film, but I can appreciate the first now for being more cinematic.

I first saw it when I was about 15. it bored me to tears! When I saw it again about 20 years later I realised what an incredible film it was. From one extreme to the other
