Underrated/Overrated Films

Sightseers (2012) went a bit unnoticed, I thought it was fantastic. Alice Lowe is one of the most captivating actresses working at the moment.

Submarine (2010) This is another great film that did ok with critics but didn't really reach a wider audience.

Life
Nightcrawler
The Girl Next Door
 
Underrated: Dragonfly with Kevin Costner. Great ending
Overrated: Paranormal Activity. Broken Flowers
 
Inception (2010) Didn't do anything for me, the premise was trying to be clever without actually being clever and none of the performances were particularly note worthy. Marion Cotillard is just straight up bad at her job.

Honestly besides Memento and The Dark Knight Nolan tends to operate at that level where the films are worth watching but rather too safe and aimed at the mainstream to really get the very best out of their premise.

I did kind of feel Blade Runner 2049 had the same kind of issue, it did ask more of the audience than stuff like Inception and Interstellar but still I didn't think it was an smart and meaningful as it clearly felt it was.
 
overrated: I hate all Daniel Craig Bond movies except voor Casino Royale but people seem to think this turd is good.

Skyfall

underrated: Basic instinct, one of my favorite thrillers, does not get much love

Nightcrawler

I didn't rate the film overall but dat Gyllenhaal performance was something. He definitely needed some major awards and shit
 
Interstellar
Most overrated film of the last ten years.
Just absolutely way over the top ratings considering the idiotic story and garbage science.
Correct answer.

Interstellar fucking sucks. Only other acceptable answer for over rated are garbage super hero films people keep eating up as if theyre good.

Under rated -- Jacobs Ladder since its one of the best horrors of all time, The Signal, Only God Forgives, The Fall

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

Superhero movies is the worst genre. The Watchmen was good. But overall it should only be kids who enjoy them. Utterly vapid on every level.
 
Enemy was legit. I have seen trailers of eXistenZ but never seen the movie.

Have you heard of The 13th Floor or Dark World?

I have been meaning to see Enemy forever and kind of forgot about it. At least I don't think I've seen it.
 
Tons of movies are overrated.

Most dumb comedies are underrated. Movies like That's My Boy, The Brothers Solomon, Let's Go To Prison, This Is The End, MacGruber, Starsky and Hutch, Step-Brothers, Zoolander/Zoolander 2, Taladega Nights, Bridesmaids, Animal, Nacho Libre, Joe Dirt, Benchwarmers, etc.

Probably the dumbest comedy that I thought was hilarious and that most people never heard of: Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (lots of big name cameos involved).

I think the dumb comedy genre is my favorite followed closely by the horror genre.
