Never heard of Warrior, looked it up, looks a little bit gay from the cover. Anyway, I thought you meant "The Warriors" from 1979, which is an effing classic. See it. Tonight.
======================================
Seen it HC - great film
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you think Warrior was about the fight scenes, you completely missed the point of the movie and for that, I grieve for you
=======================================
Wump - the fight scenes were the only decent thing about it; the sob story is a tired formula and as for that joke of an ending... !SPOILERS!
............that has Tom Hardy blitz through his opponents like they're not even there, then lose to his crappy underdog bro - it was bad enough HE beat a Russian Kurt Angle - then have all that 'I love you' crap AND no idea if he shared the prize money or whatever...
NO! JUST NO... it's a bad film!!
Story of Ricky is a great watch but only if you can get your hands on the subtitled version where the interpreter has a very fragile grasp of English at best.
'When you were born, we called you Rick, but when we saw how strong you were we called you Ricky'.
Was in tears at that line first time I saw it.
One of the funniest is the perception of Titanic. First, there was overwhelming, universal acclaim. Then, there was a massive backlash. Then there was a backlash against the backlash. I still think it was a great movie, if slightly soppy and cheesy.
Have to agree. Corny by the numbers genre movie....with MMA added on.

Own it! I actually get tired from laughing.
Rikki Oh: The Story of Ricky
It's absolute unintentional genius ha ha
Another Overrated film I'd say is The Inbetweeners movie.
I liked it when I went to see it in cinema, and laughed a lot. But when I saw it again on DVD I realised it wasn't that funny. Seems like a less funny or memorable version of Kevin and Perry Go Large.
It's an OK film. But people act as if its greatest comedy they've seen. The series is better, but people putting it up there with the comedy greats, is a bit silly.

Only seen a couple of death scenes on Youtube - looks hilarious

I agree it was average. I did have high expectations of it after watching the series and there were some funny moments in the film, but it typically tried to have some serious side to it that didn't work and felt like a filler. Shame really.

It's everything in between that is genius.
a few that i just don't get
Avatar-special effects aside it was a pretty poor film in all honesty
Gosford Park-looks stunning and has a cast to die for, but a bit of a damp squib, kind of limp and predictable by the end
the Deer Hunter-waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long
Simon was too nice to Carly in that film for my liking... What's with this better person bollox... If she's a then call her a
Also that other guy deserved more of a comeuppance than just getting pop on his nose
That large bird sparking him out would have been better
The Princess Bride - underrated by people who look at the title and assume it's rubbish.
inigo montoya was in Homeland
Sexy beast was a great film. Good performances by ray winston and Ben Kingsley. Not sure if its underrated but I don't know many people who have seen it.
2 old films which are great- Dr strangelove. Very funny and caught the atmosphere at the time brilliantly.
One flew over the cuckoos nest- just an all round brilliant film.
They aren't underrated, but people around my age often refuse to watch them purely because they're old. Feel like punching people when they say that. Anythings c.rap because its old attitude. Same with music. But I urge any youngster to watch those films! Or anyone for that matter.

Funnily enough, one flew over the cuckoos nest is just starting on BBC 1 now! Tune in if you haven't seen it!
The Innkeepers
House of the Devil
Both massively underrated and unknown.
I know this thread is pretty dead now but I just remembered to add Skyfall to my overrated list. What a load of crap.
Black hawk down
under rated
Not seen Skyfall... mainly because I've never been a fan of the Bond franchise...
Watched skyfall yesterday. Thought it was pretty good.
Black Hawk Down.....own it and I get bored every time I watch it.
