Based on the RT scores (61%) alone, I'll have to add Jack Reacher to the list. The audience and I liked it. It won't crack most people's top 5 for 2012 but it is certainly deserving of a better RT score IMO. 80% is more accurate.

Here's a previous thread on the topic with useful insights sprinkled throughout...

How could I forget Safe House!!
-
I'm going to add Brave to my list, unfortunately.

Underrated means for you whatever you want it to mean. For me, I think of critic reviews. If they're trending negative but the movie is actually very good..that film is underrated. Hobbit comes to mind. WOM is a factor as well although that's more difficult for me to gauge. Gladiator is an example of an overrated movie whose WOM, I feel, is better than the film.

It's depressing seeing TDKR on so many peoples list. TA I can stand but TDKR, for some reason I don't want it to be true. I have been in denial when it comes to TDKR. It is a great movie but not "slightly below TDK" as I led myself to believe. It's slightly better than Begins. Again, a great movie but a little below expectations. I wouldn't put it on my list of most overrated films but I think it is overrated to some extent.

Yea, I think expectations aren't high on This is 40 despite it being an Apatow flick (I had no intention to see it in theaters). Hmmm..maybe it's worth a look.

Apparently he's had that icon up for awhile now. Could be nothing.

Jon Favreau now has a Star Wars droid on his Twitter page.

He could be campaigning or it could be a hidden announcement. I think it is the latter.

Prometheus grows on me with each viewing. It's one of the most epic movies since Avatar. One of the best movies this year.

I couldn't answer that.Yeah but aren't the books terrible to begin with?
-
I would probably place ASM in the underrated thread because there was a great deal of skepticism and hesitation before the film. Alot of people didn't think it would work. It exceeded many people's expectations.
-
Would you consider Pitch Perfect underrated? I haven't seen it which is why I'm asking. While we're on comedies, are expectations for This is 40 high enough so that it can even be considered over/underrated?

that's interesting. i really wanted to see Killing Them Softly and 7 Psychopaths.The Hunger GamesTedThe Dark Knight RisesAll decent movies but nothing special and really flawed.As far as critics' reviews go Killing Them Softly and Seven Psychopaths. I really wanted to like them but i couldn't.

Which is even better IMOWOM is better and its not with the fans (like people have been claiming), its with the GA.

At first I was confused about why the choices were all young actors. I just assumed it would be Mark Hamill. That's been the consensus pick since 2005. But you make a good point. Luke wasn't that old in ROTJ and if Episode 7 starts just a few years later then he'll still be under 40. Wow, that revelation hit like an ounce of bricks. I very much would like to see Mark reprise his role, even if it means 30 years have passed since ROTJ.You need to pick someone who at least looks reasonably similar to Mark Hamill wth the aid of makeup.Second, you need to pick an appropriate age depending on how far after ROTJ the sequel takes place. Let's say 5-10 years, which would make Luke 28-33.Based on those two critera, you can exclude JGL (looks), Hutcherson (too young, looks), Yelchin (looks, too young), Hemsworth (looks, too young), Pettyfer (too young), Johnson (too young), Franco (looks).Only Gosling and Hedlund are the right age and generally similar hair/facial structure, with Hedlund having a more similar rounded face.

I can't believe it's already been 7.5 years...wow.
-
I predict that the inevitable adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey will be OVERRATED - whenever it comes out.
-
I'm confused.I wouldn't say most people hated it. Its just that the reaction to it is extremely polarizing. The people that liked either seem to think its good or the second coming of scifi christ genre saver whie and the people hated it want everyone associated with killed by Jason Voorhees.
-
Do you all think The Hobbit is underrated? Seems like WOM is better than the RT score. When was the last time that happened? I plan to see it in HFR 3D this weekend.

Nice list but is Silver Linings Playbook underrated? I mean it hasn't achieved a level of attention on these boards that we refer to it as SLPCloud AtlasEnd of WatchPerks of Being a WallflowerRuby SparksSafety Not GuaranteedSilver Linings PlaybookPitch PerfectRise of the GuardiansLife of PiTrouble With the CurveArbitrageSparkleHit and RunHope SpringsMIB 3Moonrise KingdomCabin in the WoodsCasa De Mi padreGoon
but I'd argue that it is getting the attention it supposedly deserves. I plan to see it next month.

Hobbit should start closing the gap, currently at $5million, with I Am Legend's adjusted dailies (grossed $291mil, also opened Dec 14th).

The Ted vs Mark Wahlberg fight was hilarious. lol
but I'd argue that it is getting the attention it supposedly deserves. I plan to see it next month.
Disney Boss Talks Marvel Theme Parks

I hope Disney/Marvel didn't hit their peak with Avengers and there's enough continuing demand for a Marvel theme park.
