thejon93rd: Overrated/Underrated Movies (1994-2013)

KILL 10.23.13	saw vi sucks
ToMMyMiL16 10.23.13	i liked saw VII a lot. along with saw 1 saw 2 and saw 3. the rest were eh. The Professional is great
StallionMang 10.23.13	WALL-E, fuck that movie.
skeames1214 10.23.13	Good list, good taste. 2013 - This Is The End (WILDLY overrated, that movie was hot garbage). -Pacific Rim (properly rated, was awesome)
DurzoBlint 10.23.13	The last samurai rules. Hunger games was overrated though.
skeames1214 10.23.13	Life Is Beautiful remains the most underrated movie.
EaglesBecomeVultures 10.23.13	BITCH I'M FROM THAT ZONE 3
whatsernam 10.23.13	jackie brown failed because it was slow, but with uninteresting dialogue and characters
JustinKing 10.23.13	Hunger Games just irritates me. Read the books because a few friends wanted me to, but all I could think was how it was such a watered down, PG-13 version of Battle Royale. Frighteners and Jackie Brown are awesome, though.
JustinKing 10.23.13	I thought Jackie Brown started slow, but really picked up in the last hour of it.
DikkoZinner 10.23.13	"jackie brown failed because it was slow, but with uninteresting dialogue and characters" Nah, it's QTs best.
JustinKing 10.23.13	I dunno if I'd say his best, but definitely one of his better ones, in my opinion.
Cipieron 10.23.13	I personally love The Mummy and agree with you. I feel like it's the perfect blend of action, adventure, and humor. And very much in the vein of an Indiana Jones movie. In any case: The Mummy > Indy 4
dsroka005 10.23.13	this list totally reminded of the fact that I forgot to put Leon: The Professional in my movie list
skeames1214 10.23.13	@thejon oh, well I wasn't really a fan of either of those, so maybe I'm just not into that type of comedy.
ti0n 10.23.13	shitlist
FearThyEvil 10.23.13	2009: Zombieland (overrated), Saw VI (underrated) Fucking really?
skeames1214 10.23.13	Ted is the worst movie of all time and is therefore incredibly overrated.
ti0n 10.23.13	saw 1 was good. rest was pure garbage
skeames1214 10.23.13	dammit. @tiOn [2]
skeames1214 10.23.13	Yeah, agreed, zombieland was kinda okay but nothing special.
skeames1214 10.23.13	The Darjeeling Limited is very underrated.
SirDrumsalot 10.23.13	The Frighteners! That movie kicks balls!
Cygnatti 10.23.13	forrest gump rules. mummy sucks tho.
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 10.23.13	'WALL-E, fuck that movie.' holy shit fuck u
Cygnatti 10.23.13	"but no way in hell did he deserve an Oscar for that role" lmfao + rofl @ oscars being worth a damn. srsly
adarkishman 10.23.13	saw 1 is cool yea also harry potter and the philosophers stone was like the only good one of the movies (prisoner of azkaban was good too) might just be nostalgia but its the only one i can watch now (as well as PoA) without killing myself
adarkishman 10.23.13	though the nostalgia makes me want to kill myself so there you go
Calc 10.23.13	what a typical fucking list.
KenboSlice 10.23.13	Joy Ride sucked ass.
Judio! 10.23.13	Nice list, I 100% agree on all the movies you mentioned, except for Forrest Gump. I might have to kill you for saying Forrest Gump is overrated.
JustinKing 10.23.13	Honestly, I can't stand the first two Harry Potter films. All the ones after that are just tolerable, to me. Could never get into the series at all.
NordicMindset 10.23.13	since when was cars rated highly?
NordicMindset 10.23.13	even that might be too high for it...
NordicMindset 10.23.13	pixar's worst movie... and cars 2 too
NapalmCrusader 10.23.13	Love the devil's double, that's a kickass movie. Btw, don't consider Troy overrated, in fact many people that I know hate that film.
skeames1214 10.23.13	The first cars was fine, guys. It was a good kids movie. Obviously not on the same level as Monsters Inc or Ratatouille, but it's not terrible.
skeames1214 10.23.13	The second cars, tho. Good lord that was bad.
JustinKing 10.23.13	I can't stand Cars, but just because I found it mind-numbingly boring. The human absence didn't bother me. It's just something that Pixar probably didn't even consider and simply expected people to just accept it when they saw it.
deathofasalesman 10.23.13	This is a funny list.
owen 10.23.13	I don't even look at rottentomatoes anymore. Only God Forgives is my favourite 2013 movie so far and it has 30%. La vie d'adèle has 90%. Even though I liked that movie, it isn't the "emotional masterpiece" every critic is calling it.
NapalmCrusader 10.23.13	Cars is ok, not best thing in the world but far from being that bad
skeames1214 10.23.13	Man, I've seen some bad movies this year. World War Z sucked, The Watch was godawful (saw it as the second part of a drive-in double feature), Iron Man 3 wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special and was probably made by the government because that thing is just drone propaganda, and I've already commented on This is the End. Need to see Gravity.
PitchforkArms 10.23.13	I disagree with a few but fear and loathing and Jackie brown kick ass
NordicMindset 10.23.13	iron man 3 was disappointing yeah only like a 3 when i expected a 4 iron man 2 gets hated on way too much
skeames1214 10.23.13	True dat bc iron man 2 has Scarlett looking her finest myyyyy goodness
BallsToTheWall 10.23.13	Death Sentence is underrated. Depressing movie.
Mister Twister 10.23.13	Anybody remember Unstoppable, came out in 2010? That movie was pretty decent. Pacific Rim was badass.
asdfjkl 10.23.13	12 - king kong was great.
skeames1214 10.23.13	Death Sentence was alright, I guess, but jesus that movie was heavy handed.
Riviere 10.23.13	"I don't even look at rottentomatoes anymore. Only God Forgives is my favourite 2013 movie so far and it has 30%." Yeah I don't trust RT that much anymore, seeing Valhalla Rising at only 71% was the breaking point. That movie is at least a 90%.
skeames1214 10.23.13	I mean, don't blame rottentomatoes.
BallsToTheWall 10.23.13	Rotten Tomatoes is full of shit, they gave Haywire a 80 and thats the worst movie ever.
Wadlez 10.23.13	You do know Rotten Tomatoes doesn't make their own reviews. They aggregate other professional reviews.
skeames1214 10.23.13	yeah lol
BallsToTheWall 10.23.13	Great movie Flutter, great movie.
skeames1214 10.23.13	I'm sorry, Fluttertrank, but I just cannot comprehend how you could possibly feel that way. The book is one of my favorite things in existence, though.
deathofasalesman 10.23.13	It just means you're part of the 30% who liked OGF (like me). Doesn't mean you HAVE to be the 70% that doesn't.
skeames1214 10.23.13	I think I would've loved the movie without the context of having read the book.
Trebor. 10.23.13	I super agree with a lot of this
Trebor. 10.23.13	"WALL-E, fuck that movie." "jackie brown failed because it was slow, but with uninteresting dialogue and characters" wow fuck you guys
skeames1214 10.23.13	Oh dude, do it. You won't be disappointed. Douglas Adams is a genius.
skeames1214 10.23.13	He wrote Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency too, which is also superb.
Trebor. 10.23.13	your 2007-2011 overrated films I quite like though Cars is a fucking abomination agreed
skeames1214 10.23.13	You should, it's short and self-contained, so it's a bit less of a commitment than hitchhikers and just as good.
owen 10.23.13	"Yeah I don't trust RT that much anymore, seeing Valhalla Rising at only 71% was the breaking point. That movie is at least a 90%." My fucking nigger
Wadlez 10.23.13	Again do some of you not understand how RT works? They aggregate user ratings as well, so you don't have to go by the critics.
ti0n 10.23.13	savages was painfully bad. olli stone just cant do it no more. love equilibrium tho
skeames1214 10.23.13	agreed Savages sucked
Trebor. 10.23.13	user scores on rottentomatoes are usually way more laughable
Cygnatti 10.23.13	U gaiz take movies too srsly It's funny.
ZombicidalMan 10.23.13	Most overrated movie recently was Place Beyond The Pines. Great concept and lots of good parts but people overlooked a lot of shit in it
Havey 10.23.13	films > movies
Trebor. 10.23.13	"U gaiz take movies too srsly" no, most people don't take them serious enough
Cygnatti 10.23.13	Trebor, you're an exception. K?
Cygnatti 10.23.13	Nah, I've never watched a full game of any sport. I fell asleep the only two times I watched the Super Bowl. Id much rather play a sport than watch it. But nice shot in the dark. Does wonders don't it?
Trebor. 10.23.13	hey jon what have you written lately? I'm writing a 10-15 minute romantic dramedy that I'm planning on directing in a few weeks
XingKing 10.23.13	I disagree with so many points on this list
Cygnatti 10.23.13	Yah wall e was lovely.
Gwyn. 10.23.13	"WALL-E, fuck that movie." WOW fuck YOU i'm pissed wow
TheNexus100 10.23.13	HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA FORREST GUMP UNDERRATED OMFG HAHAHSAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
EyesWideShut 10.23.13	"films > movies" the only movies i watch are Turner Classic Movies > Films
Defibrillator 10.23.13	lolwut. Braveheart overrated?
Trebor. 10.23.13	Forest Gump is an 8/10 at best, like 6 movies should have won best picture over it Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Clerks, Ed Wood, Dumb and Dumber, Hoop Dreams, Leon The Professional
MetalMassacreAttack 10.23.13	Leon: The Professional = win
PayneTiger777 10.23.13	Hostage is awesome. Ben Foster was a creepy fuck. The Professional is in my top 5 of favorite movies.
joshuahuntkc 10.23.13	I'm writing a black comedy/horror short film at the moment. It's turning out pretty chill. Me and a few pals are working on pre production so we can wrap it up in a decent amount of time.
joshuahuntkc 10.23.13	Thanks, good list as well. I don't really think The Mummy is underrated however, at it's inception it was quite well received.
joshuahuntkc 10.23.13	RT isn't the be all end of what makes a movie under or overrated though.
NordicMindset 10.23.13	is inception overrated? haven't seen it yet and really want to
Trebor. 10.23.13	why don't you watch it and decide
joshuahuntkc 10.23.13	yeah, its worth watching just for the concept. I kind of want to watch it again now actually.
Trebor. 10.23.13	overrated on imdb sure, it's like 6th all time lol
joshuahuntkc 10.23.13	and Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the best actors around in my opinion.
joshuahuntkc 10.23.13	imdb is all over the place. If its a horror or comedy its going to be underrated and if its a thriller or a sci fi it'll be pretty accurate and if its a drama or a big time blockbuster it'll be over rated haha.
joshuahuntkc 10.24.13	Agreed, Moon is awesome.
Trebor. 10.24.13	dicaprio is overrated as fuck, he has like 2 roles he can play
joshuahuntkc 10.24.13	That's just because Scorcese casts him in everything. He always has a top notch performance. He is phenomenal in Django Unchained and what he did with Shutter Island made it one of my favorite movies. I guarantee you once M.S. stops casting him in everything he'll play a wider array of roles and I bet he'll be just as great.
LambsBread 10.24.13	idk American gangster was pretty dope
LambsBread 10.24.13	Life of Pie was pretty dope too
joshuahuntkc 10.24.13	I don't know why because I really dig most of what Spike Jonze does but I did not like WTWTA.
joshuahuntkc 10.24.13	Speaking of Sam Rockwell... GALAXY QUEST!
Trebor. 10.24.13	that movie sucks dick
joshuahuntkc 10.24.13	which one
joshuahuntkc 10.24.13	It's not bad, I just didn't like it.
Avagantamos 10.24.13	dicaprio is overrated as fuck [2]
joshuahuntkc 10.24.13	I'm sure The Great Gatsby was garbage.
joshuahuntkc 10.24.13	I don't mind the tone at all. I just didn't like it. I get what he was trying to achieve with it I just didn't care for the film. Aspects of it were great but it was nothing that would make me want to recommend it or watch it again.
joshuahuntkc 10.24.13	If your judging that movie based on the ending you missed the point.
joshuahuntkc 10.24.13	I mean I watch a lot of independent film and a decent amount of mainstream stuff. I'm not talking bad on the movie it just brings nothing to the table that I cared for. I'd rather just stick with the mystic and the simplicity of the book.
Calc 10.24.13	typical fucking list [2]
Banion 10.24.13	Braveheart deserves every piece of love it gets.
FromDaHood 10.24.13	Picks Oscar nominated movies/blockbusters as overrated So brave
joshieboy 10.24.13	Savages underrated. Agreed. That was a great flick.
Kalopsia 01.24.18	except the end of Savages, that's some inexcusable "it was all a dream" bullshit.
