I feel like The Godfather is overrated. The story has no real narrative. It jist kinda jumps around and things happen "because." Good film making, shitty story. I'd read the book before though, so I guess I was kind of biased.

I came in to mention Synecdoche, NY but you've got it covered. And honestly, it's the kind of movie that you can't expect most people to handle, so it makes sense that it's underrated.

I just saw Heat and that's pretty overrated. And yeah, most comic book movies get more credit than they're worth. Incredible Hulk and Punisher Warzone are underrated.

I have never gotten why people say The Shining is great. I can get liking it, there are a number of good elements in it, but Shelly Duvall is just so amazingly awful. Jack Nicholson almost works for me just because I can actually believe him being that crazy, but there is still something about his performance that just is too over the top for me.

The Fountain I think is just pure shit. Aronofsky is hit or miss for me. Not a fan of Pi either.

Kung Fu Hustle I think is one of the best movies of the 21st century, though most people are relatively positive about it, just not to the extent I am.

Dirty Work is one of my favorite comedies though it has been about 10 years since I watched it, no clue if it still holds up.

John Carter I think is really underrated, though not a great movie. Best live action Disney movie since the first Pirates of the Caribbean. Just before that Holes came out which is better than both John Carter and Pirates, though I think that is generally recognized.

Jack Nicholson isn't that crazy?
The guy always seemed about a half a step behind Gary Busey on the loon scale, even after Busey's massive brain damage.

Kung Fu Hustle


I couldn't get through more than 5 minutes of it. :(


Did you do sub or dub? I always do sub. I even saw it in theaters. When the movie started and it was subbed titled the theater let out a moan, after the movie it got a round of applause.

Well... the movie pretty much changes its plot entirely every five minutes or so, so just wait.

That's part of what I mean, like a lot of his character seems to be Jack Nicholson, not Jack Torrance. Like if I didn't know Nicholson's other work and he was a no-name actor, I would probably think the portrayal was amazing. But him being a half step below Busey and that being known makes it less acting and more filming a deranged man reading lines while actors are terrified and don't know what to do.

So it almost works for me.

Most overrated film ever made is Sin City. If it weren't for the cast and the cool special effects, nobody wouldn't even care.

Most underrated would be the first Saw.

8 and a half
Ran

The Hour of the Wolf
Breathless
The 400 Blows

Not saying they're exactly bad films, especially TaGD...just very overrated.


Lmao 400 blows and Ran are masterpieces

They're both a hell of a lot better than Rhapsody in August. I'll give you that.

This. After T2 its arguably my favorite Arnold film.

Underrated: Predestination. It's an Ethan Hawke movie from a few years ago but its great. One of my favorites.

I never understood what was so freakin great about Citizen Kane.

Incidentally, Transformers (1986) is a vastly underrated Orson Welles movie.
