Over-rated: Titanic, The Passion of the Christ, Pirates of the Carribean, Reservoir Dogs, Both Kill Bills, Boondock Saints...and while I'm on it...Sean Connery, Johny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Jude Law.

Under-rated: Granted I'll get some flack for this, but the first Resident Evil movie. Forget that the games are better. Forget that the second movie had no plot. Resident Evil the movie was just different. The score was amazing, the presentation creative and tense, and James Purefoy performed excellently.

TITANIC. damn i had blocked that god awful boring piece of crap out of my mind until you made this thread. DAMN YOU

STAR WARS 30's sci fi serial with a dash of pseudo religion tossed in. bad acting (who would have guessed that harrison ford could act??) predictable plot, only gets worse over time

ALMOST ALL FELLINI MOVIES! excepting his masterpiece "la strada" the rest is just overblown surrealistic unwatchable crap

and lets face it.... CITIZEN KANE.... the best movie ever made?? i think not! if it is so good why is it so damned hard to stay awake through??

You, good sir, are an idiot.

Citizen Kane is one of the greatest movies ever, but you need to understand when, how, and what was surrounding it when it was made.

Underrated: Army of Darkness

HELL yeah! xD

Underrated: M. Butterfly
Overrated: Citizen Kane: I'm not disputing that it was a great film, but I don't think that any film could live up to the "greatest movie ever made" tag that's so often associated with it. I couldn't help but be a little disappointed when I saw it, which is a pity.

Underrated
Terminator 2, Titanic
How is Titanic underrated? You couldn't escape from the hype surrounding it when it was released!

True? Since when? Just another fan fiction hack with a bad plot.

Anyway ...

Overrated: The Matrix series. Get over it, people, it's not an original story nor an original cinematographic experience. There are no great truths in it ... only the plastic acting of Reeves and the overblown hamming of Fishburne.

Underrated: Eyes Wide Shut.

Yahsha ha'Meshiyakh did exist and was the promised Messiah to the true Israelite people. He was killed upon a Cross and we the true Israelites will never forget nor will we faulter in our wait until he returns.
