|
 |
Take the 'ratings' from www.imdb.com and try to find a film that you think is good, and you think a lot of other people do too, but it's got a low mark.
For me they're;
Hellraiser 2
http://imdb.com/title/tt0095294/
and
The crow 2
http://imdb.com/title/tt0115986/
I think the crow 2 is a bit unlucky in the fact that people always compare it to the first and only look at the negatives and hold the first in such high regard. This is possibly even better than the first - give or take a few scenes yet to only get 3.8 is shocking. According to imdb it's worse than the third one (salvation) but only marginally better than the fourth (Wicked prayer). Pretty bizzarre if you ask me!
As for hellbound... I liked this more than the first too, the hellraiser series has got a bit stupid now with it up to 8 already with 2 released last year (I haven't watched them yet but I don't think I will to be honest) but the first 2 were damn good with the 2nd better but to be rated lower and by quite a distance was a shock. Also the number of votes cast being quite low.

hmmm the crow sequels were not underrated (in MY opinion) because none of them were done properly... they were all just slapped together to make money riding off the brilliance of the original. ditto for cube 2... cube zero was better than hypercube, but not as great as the original, which should have been a standalone i think.
underrated films i think are dark city, strange days and event horizon.

I really liked it and when according to imdb it's worse than salvation (along with many many other films) it's quite a shock.

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (4.2/10)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367652/
As I once said before, the movies intent was to entertain with crude and unrealistic humor and it did its job - I laughed my ass off more than 20 times while being stoned (only Eurotrip was funnier, but it had teh Hasselhoff bonus). The humor was too crude for the prude americans and too childish for everyone above 30. Comedies nearly never get a good rating, since most voters focus on dramatic aspects of movies, which is of course bullshit if you rate a fun movie.

IMDb is never wrong. If you disagree that means it's you who are wrong.

There are always some stupid fucks who think its soooo cool to vote 1 just to be an asshole. Lots of people also rate random movies 10\10. Also kind of lame.

A Better Tomorrow: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092263/
ok ok, a 7.4 is pretty good in imdb but this movie was only rated by something above 3k users,
and it clearly deserves more. this movie is one of the most influential action movies of all times.
whenever you see a crazy gunfight, probably akibo style even, remember, it originates from here. an 8.2 rating wouldve been the least expected for this great piece of cinema, with amazing action scenes and sympathetic characters, my personal fav.
Bloodsport: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092675/
sure, its a shallow fighting movie but cmon its fuckin BLOODSPORT, one of the biggest cult movies. everyone i know has seen this atleast once in their childhood, simply everyone loves this movie. so it doesnt have a convoluted storyline but its a martial arts movie so that doesnt matter really. a 5.8 is too low imo, a 7.0 wouldve been better, alone due to its cult status.

Friday 13th Series
All of them are so fucking cool! Mr. Jason Voorhees (sp?) is the coolest character ever!!
Pulp Fiction
Yes, there are some that DOESN'T say this is the best movie ever, hence it is underrated
Freddy Vs Jason
How can this movie be bad? Throw in the coolest 80s serialkillers and let them go on a killing-spree! Anyone that doesn't like this doesn't deserve to see it

Exactly.
Even the end fight scene was the same as the matrix...thought I was the only one that saw that. The Matrix basically lifted the dark city plot, reworked it with a bigger budget and got major backing... |

From Dusk Till Dawn - 6.8/10
Personally i think it is at least as good as Pulp Fiction. Many people gave it low ratings because they thought of it as a pure horror movie, wich it isn't It's supposed to be more like a horror comedy.

Revolver was an experiment for Guy Ritchie and added the usual Humor, Violence, tension etc. Though he also tried to blend it with a "new" kind of story telling which not only made it better but also created the "love it or hate it" opinion.
