No. It's on my list, but I wasn't nuts about the last two Bond films. I liked half of Skyfall and the one before it was just a bore.

I know people loved District 9, and those movies are usually my thing. This one not so much. Funny thing is that I liked Pandorum which was critically panned.

Pandorum? Is that the movie with Ben Foster?

Spectre was pretty disappointing. Actually I might put Skyfall in my overrated list. It was good but nowhere near the level of Casino Royale in my opinion.
 
overrated: the shawshank redemption, citizen kane, fight club
Underrated: no country for old men

It has its detractors like any other movie, but it won Best Picture at the Oscars. Who is underrating it?

Overrated: Aliens, Braveheart, Gladiator, Requiem For A Dream

Underrated: The Fountain
 
Almost every superhero movie ever imo. But thats just my opinion. Cant understand why people get so excited and love movies liek avengers, captain america, ant-man and all that shit. They sell crazy number, but almost every single one that I have watched just sucked

I agree with The Avengers 1 and 2. I think they are made boring. Have you seen Watchmen though?

Yeah Watchmen is the antithesis of a superhero movie. "Heroes" that aren't really heroes at all, but damaged, disturbed, abusive people. Very gritty just how I like it. I've read the graphic novel and it is a very faithful adaptation despite blowhard Alan Moore's claims that it is inherently un-filmable.

Speaking of Snyder, I enjoyed Sucker Punch quite a bit but everyone seems to shit on it. I thought the concept of the story was interesting in how they were able to blend so many genres into one film.

Snyder seems like a grown up teenager and he is really good at making visuals. I noticed that way Sucker Punch was filmed looked fantastic but I have never seen the whole movie.

So you are saying it is worth a watch?

Yeah I'd give it a shot. It's kind of like The Matrix and Inception where there are plots happening simultaneously. Altered reality vs reality. Plus Emily Browning as Baby Doll with that schoolgirl uniform..... fuuuuuuuck.

I forgot to mention, Oscar Isaac is in the movie (this was before he became huge) and he turns in a great performance.

Sure will.

What other movies do you think are Overrated/Underrated?
 
I disagree on The fighter but agree on the avengers.

I rarely hear anyone talk about the fighter. Avengers is meh. Joss Whedon hates captain America and makes him so bland. The Russos make Captain america shine.
