Most Underrated Film
 
I think that "The Ring" or "Ringu" is the most underrated film today..

Thats a hard Q. i don't know how many times a critic had really panned a movie, even to the point of my not going to see it. but when i did eventualy see it , it was good or great. so i dont which one iwould say was the most underrated . theres been so many.

i wouldn't call it underated because it would have to be known to be underated but i have to say this is a movie everyone should see:

How about overrated? I saw Mystic River this weekend and, my goodness. Bleh. Not awful, but not very good either. PLus, it is always hard to listen to decent actors BUTCHER a boston accent....

How about overrated? That is for definate, some of the highest rated films I've seen have been awful but some underrated ones are brilliant. But as to you question I can't think of just one either. A few recenter ones I can think of are Fear dot Com, Below and Long time dead.

Ugh. Fear dot com was a terrible movie. it wasn underrated,, if it recieves any adulation at all, it is overrated.

Underated films. Exorcist 3. Another one that everyone seems to hate but I thought was pretty good was Jurassic Park 3.

I agree on JP3 Bud. It never pretended to be anything other than a bunch of people stuck on dinosaur island. That is what the trailers made it out to be. Why did anyone expect anything else?


I think Alien 3 is one of the most maligned movies around, and doesnt really deserve to catch aas much shit as it does. I hated that they killed hicks and newt, btu they did well with that fact.....

I just saw it too, and agree. Not really original either.

Ben Kingsley should have won for House of Sand And Fog. Very powerful movie, and a genuine Shakespearian like tragedy!
