The lord of the rings trilogy. and titanic.

 

 

 

are you dumb?

 

Lord of the Rings is amazing.

hmm, no. but i do realize a good movie when i see one. and this one sucked for a portrayal of a book.

 

 

 

now if oyu want an udnerrated movie...try goodfellas. Elephant, philadelphia..the firm, etc.

I agree with Goodfellas being under rated, but I still dont see why you dont like LOTR, or at least respect them as good movies

i fell asleep durring LOTR :XD:

How is Goodfellas underrated. Pulp Fiction is kind of overrated. So is Fight Club. Doesn't mean they're bad movies of course.

 

 

 

Oh, the others you named aren't underrated either.

LOTR movies are good, but somewhat overrated.

 

 

 

Titanic is grossly overrated.

 

 

 

X-Men (all), Spiderman (and 2), Pirates of the Caribbean all overrated. Pirates and Spiderman 1 are both pretty good, but still overrated.

For the benefit of the thread, should we both post as to why we think this way? :P

 

 

 

I was thinking the same, but you seem intelligent enough as to have your reasons why you think so, and I have mine. I just felt I had to stick up for it, since it's one of my favourite films.

La lune ne garde aucune rancune.

snakes on a plane :o

 

 

 

Agreed.

And no lol why do you always want to get stuff from John Lewis. Its over ̣̉300 more then than what i paid.

 

John Lewis is a great, great shop.

I'd agree with everyone who claims that the LOTR films are over-rated and I'd add the Matrix trilogy as well because I feel they were all style and no content. LOTR I particularly dislike because all 3 films were just far too long and once you get over the special effects, (which I admit were great) you can only take so many "This is bla son of blabla from the kingdom of blablabla........." character introductions - that sort of thing had me looking for a window to jump out of :uhh:

 

Its not hard to gather that I just dont like films that are sold solely on the fact that they have "groundbreaking special effects."

 

 

 

 

 

As for under-rated films I'd have to say True Romance. I absolutely love this film, to me its like a 90's re-working of Bonnie & Clyde. I'd also say Mean Streets even though it's quite critically acclaimed, I'd don't know anyone in real life who has this film or even seen it.

You only have to type four extra keys for me to not think "ur" an idiot.

apocalypse now was a great movie. I agree with how2pk, pulp fiction is a tad overrated, its just rated for creativity..

 

rear window is hella overrated.

 

sin city..FFS this movie was terrible, just because its terentino..and has some good efx..no plot, its crappy i guess.

 

 

 

i will think of some more

Sound, I can respect that. :)

sin city..* this movie was terrible, just because its terentino..and has some good efx..no plot, its crappy i guess.

 

 

 

Tarantino was a guest director on Sin City, he did only one scene.

tarantino only did one scene in it. i dont see why you dont think it has a plot, i think it was pretty good how three seperate stories all correlate into the bigger picture. i would say this movie is underrated a little, most people would say "spiderman" or "x-men" when you ask what their favourite comic book movie is.

Sideways.

Gosh, not to mention, who would even want to, let's say RENT a dvd about wine tasting? Unless you have some strange affection towards wines...

 

 

 

Pirates of the Caribbean- Dead man's chest is very overrated. It's getting a lot of hype because it "breaks the billion dollar bar".

 

 

 

People just like to see adventures with their friends and families and sadly because there is little competition (most "adventure" movies today are lame Scifi-effectfests like Aeonflux that get crushed by critics and prove half-baked Saturday night entertainment) in original, high-quality adventure movies. The movie itself is just that, entertainment. You'd rather drink a glass of salty water than watch the movie 3 times.

 

 

 

The Shawshank Redemption is absolutely --under--rated.. No commercial bull*, no stupid characters, just makes you appreciate your freedom you take for granted. This movie has each and every right to claim the #2 spot on imdb.com's top 250 movies of all time. =D>
