SPEED RACER.

People were distracted and put off by its wild colors and missed out on the masterful storytelling and uncynical message of doing what you love in one of the most beautiful ways I've ever seen. :thumbs:

Surf Ninjas. Real fun movie with great coregraphy I say this because I used to train at Ernie Reyes' school when I lived in California.

I also liked this jiujitsu movie called RedBelt. It is about this guy who runs a Brazilian Jiujitsu school and is in financial trouble and how he tries to help people when he needs help himself at times.

What I mean is that I don't consider anything to be under or overrated. When people say something is overrated it, IMO, is just a way of pushing that they don't like it. I mean in The Avengers movie thread a guy said the movie was bad because lots of people like it.

Not to add fuel to the fire, but I disagree. I think Harry Potter is overrated. The thing here is, my definition of ''overrated'' says ''A thing that is known by 90% of the world's population, if not more''. Doesn't mean I don't like it.
I think this and ''underrated'' are some of those words used very loosely.

On topic... I'd say Primer but I'm not really sure, it might not be as underrated as I think.

And just so we're clear, my definition of ''underrated'' is ''not known to the masses, or at least not mainstream''.

Dark City is another good one.

You know some of the movies being listed here are really making me rethink my stance on the over/underrated thing. :sweat:

Dark City is another good one.

I loved Dark City, i remember when i saw it in High School, in English.
