Xator Nova Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Eyes Wide Shut. Dear god, why do many people think this is "the only bad Kubrick film" when it practically follows the pattern, style, storytelling and cinematography of every one of his other movies?! I think it is fantastic. In fact, it is in my Top 5 Favorite Films of the 90's. Everything works: The themes, the atmosphere, the music, the lights, the costumes, the story... omg, I think it is my favorite Kubrick film along with 2001.

Excellen Browning Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Honestly, the first Underworld movie. The sequels got the scorn they deserved, but in my opinion Underworld was actually a pretty good movie for a high-budget action flick.

AnonymousSpeed Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Gya...I dunno. If this was the other way around, I'd have one or two definite answers, but for this... Hm...Kingdom of the Crystal Skull I actually liked. Same applies to Back to the Future 3, and to a lesser extend the newer terminator films. Episode 3 in Star Wars was actually my second favorite as a kid, and I'd still say it could place in top 3 films, but that would take a rewatch of six movies. I may watch Lord of the Rings movies, but that's just crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 A lot got lost between the Catch-22 book and film, sure, but it was always going to, and I think the film gets more criticism than it deserves. It's like it can't match up to arguably the greatest book in American literature, oh no, worst ever imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) A good number of the underrated movies I like have grown to be more popular over time, such as Slapshot, Reservoir Dogs and The Boondock Saints. The Grindhouse movies perhaps? From Dusk till Dawn is also pretty neat, but isn't touched as much.

Loki Laufeyson Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I keep getting a Frozen ad whenever I look at this page. Is Frozen underrated? I can't really come up with anything otherwise lmao! No not even. That is none other than Oliver & Company. Slanderous lies! The Black Cauldron is so underrated, even Disney seems to hate it. Sword In The Stone is also underrated but it does get some love. Dragonslayer (1981) is probably the coolest movie about dragons ever mostly due to how damn awesome Vermithrax looked. One of the most realistic dragons in film. Yet people either ignore it or dont like it. Daybreakers was a pretty decent vampire movie that doesnt get enough love. From Dusk till Dawn is also pretty neat, but isn't touched as much. That one, like the other films you listed wound up in the Cult Classic box. They hang out there with Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas and Repo! The Genetic Opera. Speaking of Repo! That movie isnt as underrated itself as much as its cast is hella underrated. Totally out-there casting but worked so well, its mind boggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interest Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 New question! Do you watch/read reviews? If so, from who? You can feel free to say which reviewers you like and hate too, but this is purely optional. Yes, I don't think I asked this question yet. I often watch reviews from IGN and maybe like...Gametrailers for my video games. AVGN counts too I guess. I also use metacritic for the same purpose and make my own judgement. I use IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes for my movie review reading and laugh at awfully written reviews, etc. I also occasionally watch Nostalgia Critic, though not as much as before (since he's clearly intended to be comical and deliberately cynical and that doesn't necessarily result in the best review).

MacLovin Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 TGWTG, NormalBoots, Cinemassacre, BlisteredThumbs, Inked Reality, Spoony, NesPunk, and occasionally some other things. Given that these guys do serious and comedic reviews too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I usually skim reviews with negative scores and try to figure out if the reasons the person didn't like the [whatever] will probably apply for me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
