Underrated movies of '08...

[Ziggyman]

Well...Which movies aside from all the hype from this summer's blockbusters...stood out in terms of quality instead of of box-office...?

 

[Nirvana]

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, That was a great film. W was also a great film.

 

[Ziggyman]

...Simon Pegg back to form...?

 

[Nirvana]

I liked it. I thought it was a very good movie. Really was underrated.

 

[Dark Victory]

Wanted. Just about everyone I know hated it, but I just had fun watching a guy blow up a factory with rats and C4.

 

[Chewy]

The Visitor
Be Kind, Rewind
In Bruges


I also find The Incredible Hulk to be massively underrated, even though it performed decently at the BO.

 

[Gilpesh]

Wanted.

No. That movie is rated perfectly as crappy.

 

[Chewy]

^ Agreed

 

[Spider-Fan]

W. The movie had quality performances by the actor's in their roles (sans Rice) and I liked Stone's approach. It was surreal in style, and I appreciated that. I give it a solid 8

 

[Drizzle]

I'll go with "W.", "The Incredible Hulk", and "Sex Drive".

 

[X-Ray]

Hellboy 2

The Incredible Hulk was pretty underrated. Marvel always treated it like its "other" movie rather than a companion piece to Iron Man.

 

[Gilpesh]

Yeah, Incredible Hulk is definitely underrated... especially because the studio/director decided to have not only the Stark cameo before the credits... annnnnd in the actual ads for the movie.

If that isn't a vote of no confidence, I don't know what is. Especially because no one heard about Nick Fury in the commercials... Marvel knew people would still see it if it was at the end of the credits.

 

[nogap87]

I just hope Marvel doesn't screw over Thor because of Iron Man 2.

It's a decent movie but it didn't strike a chord with the public.

I feel like 2003's Hulk is still in people's minds that it affected Incredible Hulk. Personally, I thought IH was brainless but forgettable fun. I prefer the actors from the first movie for sure (Conelly and Sam Elliot).

 

[WeaponXProject]

Choke

I thought IH was brainless but forgettable fun.

There's a problem with that?

He's just so awesome.

See I didn't think the TIH is better than the other Hulk. Some parts are but in all the first movie with Connelly and Elliot had better acting. I love Tim Roth as Abomination but Ed Norton's Banner was boring and I wished you could still see Ed Norton in the Hulk's face after he Hulks out. I thought the first one Bana's face was still in the Hulks, like you could still see the man in him there.

 

[Lobo]

Hellboy 2

Agreed. Hellboy 2 is definitely underrated.

 

[Gilpesh]

Agreed. Hellboy 2 is definitely underrated.

The entire Hellboy franchise is the definition of underrated.

 

[Dark Knight 66]

W. and Punisher: War Zone.

 

[MiniBond]

Quantum of solace and the changelingt:

 

[The Apatow Crew]

In Bruges

 

[WeaponXProject]

In Bruges

Great pick. One of the only great roles of Colin Farrell. Ralph Fiennes and Brandon Gleeson were great parts as well.
