AniNate Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I thought the opening montage was really unnecessary and self-indulgent but I really got into it once they finally got to the time-travel conceit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebomb Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It was definately good and it was more about the characters and the social commentary but i never thought that i was watching something special. Especially when Ceasar wasn't on screen. Plus there were a bunch of plot holes.The last 20 minutes completely kills Source Code for me.M:I 4 was a big surprise. Much better than i hoped but the plot is as cliche as it goes and full of holes. If they could manage to cover them a bit better it would easily be my favourite in the series. It's still a great action film though.I agree with all of these. Especially with Source Code...I can't believe people are praising the ending. What a total copout.

fishstick Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 That's not fair. I love Fiennes' performance in the film, but Rickman is the best for me. He was spectacular during his death scene, and come on, fishnets, didn't you say you cried during the part where he held Lily's dead body?Dude, crying during the scene doesn`t mean that OMG it`s the best scene ever or best movie eevr or best performance ever. Some things are sad and induce tears regardless of quality. I think that PJ`s KK is a terrible movie but I cried when KK was receiving bullets because animal cruelty is sad even in fiction. I hate Sean Astin`s Oscar wanking overacting but I cried at the end of Shriekapoo because it`s sad when one gay lover decides to stay in the closet and lets the openly gay one go.Rickman was OK but nothing special. he didn`t suck, he did well but IMO, Fiennes was better. Fiennes is amazing Voldemort. He reallt brought that retarded lunacy to the chaarcter that made him much better than he is in the book.

Noctis Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 You cried at the end of RoTK because you saw it as an openly gay man leave a closeted gay? LOL, I have no idea what goes on in your head, fishnets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Overrated = Movie I did not like. Yeah this list is wack. Movies like Drive, Hannah, can't remember a few other smaller films I've seen in 4 pages, arent' movies that really got 'Rated' let alone be OVERRATED. Getting some press during and immediatly after release dosen't count. Movies that made a splash either with awards and/or their box office take are what should be on this list. Bridesmaids=check Drive would be in UNDERRATED=didn't get the press/recognition it deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 TF3. How that ended up with 30%+ on RT I will never know. Waaaay overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underrated movies are movies everyone else hates that you love (and I'm pretty sure that was the OP's intent). Underappreciated movies are great movies that not a lot of people have seen (i.e. Drive). A person can't "rate" a movie until they've actually seen it.

JohnnY Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I watched Moneyball and immediately remember about this thread. I really don't know why this film has been so highly praised by the critics. I mean, the screenplay is good, Brad Pitt is great, but for me that's all. It was just unnecessarily long and repetitive, nothing surprising about it at all. I'm not into sports, but I do find baseball interesting, if this film was about soccer or basketball I'd be insanely bored while watching it.

Joel M Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 X-Men First Class (not even close to X2)Hugo (beautiful but completely shallow movie)Descendants (like every Payne movie after Election)Deathly Hallows 2 (i thought part1 was better and 2nd best of the series behind Azkaban) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommycruise Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 DH2- Sure it was great but no masterpieceSuper 8- Good but no where near as good as it should(or could) have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb02 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Thor, Captain America, Super 8, Rise of the Planet of the ApesAll of those, though not so much in the case of Apes. It was solid, but still overrated.To your list, I would add:The DescendantsBridesmaids (ok, but nothing special)The Help (an excellent movie if on Lifetime, but that's it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmav45 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It's kind of silly to include Tree of Life into an overrated list. That film was bound to be incredibly divisive, and it's not like it was really universally praised to begin with. Some view it as a masterpiece, others think it's awful....it's just the way a film like that's gonna go.I would go with Midnight in Paris and MI4 off the top of my head.
