Most underrated movies of 2008 - Blu-ray Forum

MarkJ801 · 06-04-2008, 08:12 PM

What movies have you seen so far this year that seemed to fly under the radar or get really bad reviews from everyone?

For me I would say Charlie Bartlett & Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I know Prince Caspian is doing pretty good, but I liked it almost as much as the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, and deserves more recognition.

Everything comes back to Lord of the Rings.

mossduncan · 06-04-2008, 08:41 PM

Everyone is different but I thought that Prince Caspian was one of the worst movie's of the year

I think Rambo 4 was the most underrated movie to come out this year. Everyone talks about how violent it is and make no mistake it is, but it’s also a very well made movie. Kudos to Stallone on this one, because when I 1st heard he was going back to this character I thought it would be a joke. Instead what we got was a thought provoking movie that will satisfy any action fan.

No disrespect but I thought Iron Man was overrated because I expected more action.

Mark my words...

Starship. Troopers. 3. Marauder.

EDIT: Oh, you wanted movies we've already seen. Well, this will still be underrated regardless. lol.

As far as movies released this year, my favorite underrated movie would be The Bank Job.

PoLskA · 06-05-2008, 03:19 AM

i think Forgetting Sarah Marshall...

very funny comedy!

Speed Racer was very underrated IMO.

PNF · 06-05-2008, 08:47 PM

Narnia, Prince Caspian.. man... I regret spending $13 watching the movie or $26 for that matter with my GF.

Most underated... lets see..

21

I thought it was a decent, but many really talk about it.

Speed Racer is criminally underrated.I kept an open mind and surprised at how good the story was. Should be demo material when it comes to Blu.

xander · 06-05-2008, 11:43 PM

I dont see how you guys say 21. It was number one at the BO for like 3 weeks straight.

TS mentioned Charlie Bartlett. Great call. Funny movie and a great performance from Robert Downey Jr. that no one saw.

dvd_mazter · 06-05-2008, 11:52 PM

For me, It's probably Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Sunshine (I didn't see it till this year)

KingBing · 10-10-2008, 06:19 AM

Its def forgetting sarah marshall, I didn't even know this movie was in theaters

, I first heard of it about 2 weeks before it was released on blu

X400 · 10-10-2008, 06:52 AM

Mirrors

Speed Racer

Mutant Chronicles

GreenScar · 10-10-2008, 07:27 AM

Appaloosa. Warner only has it on 1k screens and it has a per screen average higher than all the movies ahead of it Mon-Wed this week (it's been sitting at number 5 all week). Great movie

I would also agree with Sarah Marshall. Funny as hell.

McLaren58 · 10-10-2008, 09:14 AM

I never even heard of Sunshine till someone recommended it in another thread. I thought it was a great movie with even better audio!
