It's quite normal! I have for example watched Hancock for first time and disliked it very much, but when I watched it second time I didn't dislike it that much. Watching a movie which you didn't like at first watch for second time is absolutely normal.
^^ Possible explanation of above phenomenon:
You dislike the movie first time, maybe because it didn't met your "Expectations".
But you like that second time, since you already know what's the story about, and this time, you focus on more detailed stuff, which you maybe have missed the previous time.

Finally Watched Source Code!
Excellent performance by the lead actor, Jake Gyllenhaal. Enjoyed the movie thoroughly. And maybe I did had enjoyed it more, if I hadn't watched the trailer. The trailer did was a kind of spoiler. But then again, it was the trailer only, that made me watch this movie, even weeks after its release.
HEAVY SPOILER FOR SOURCE CODE
I don’t know about this being the best sci-fi movie or something, but it sure is the best to come out in a very long time. And I am glad, that better late, and alone, I didn’t missed this one! 
I say, Source Code, is the MUST WATCH movie, for any Science Fiction fan!

HEAVY SPOILER FOR SOURCE CODE
I HAD to watch the movie, as soon as I had realized that it involved Time travel. Well, not Time Travel in true sense, but maybe even more exciting!
I loved how the film was shot, directed and edited. The sense of originality was in almost every time the actor went back into those 8 minutes. Even after we were witnessing the same incidents again and again, not once it felt repetitive, since every time the execution was different!
This film had its moment of awe, jaw dropping moments and spine chilling visuals, like the explosion, when least expected. And that moment when time stopped to reveal the passengers in the perfect mood, the actor wanted them to be. At this point, I would quote a review from IMDb, that is possibly the best explanation:

Democracy is a myth
Band Baaja Baaraat 8/10
After "Jab We Met" this is a true romantic movie. But in a raw style.
Directing: Being a newcomer Maneesh Sharma did a wonder. Don't know if he's like one film wonder but I want to say one thing, he has his eyes to details and this would take him far.
Silence and subtlety are such beautifully handled that I'm really impressed by him.
Editing: One and only downside of this movie. Some scenes are stretched and prior intermission movie pace is very slow. After intermission it picks up again and does not stop until end.
Cinematography: Being a marriage centric movie this had to be a colourful movie and that job is done perfectly. Lots of colour, music and crowd, no where a slight intention to take a shot from different angle. The director and cameraman knew exactly who are the directed audience for this movie and they stuck to the basic. God job here.
Screenplay: Dialogs are raw and total Delhi oriented; If someone is not familiar with such way of conversation he/she might find it rude or improper but this how its done there and that is exactly captured in script. Anushka and Ranveer Singh got balanced dialogs. Balanced means, none ever shadowed another in any scene. The conversation at the climax is very real life like.....without drama.
Acting: Anushka showed she can act and can be trusted with more responsibility. Ranveer Singh is one who surprised me. He showed more confidence and maturity in acting than any recent new launches. In trailers I totally disliked him. But now I know he was the perfect choice for this role. In supporting cast liked performance of Neeraj Sood as Maqsood-florist. Rest of the cast did not get much screentime so can't really complain.
Verdict: A nice above avg romantic flick. Touches all peaks of perfection apart from editing. I really had no expectation from this movie but its simplicity, raw energy and good performances impressed me. Recommended.
