    Overrated? Babadook imo. It's a really great horror movie, but people talk about it as if it's the greatest horror movie of the modern era, that it raised the standard of what a horror movie should be, come on now. The praise it gets is a bit excessive.

    Underrated? I'd say a vast amount of indie movies, particularly the critically acclaimed ones and/or creative ones (In Bruges, The Way Back, Brick, Coherence, etc. ) are super underrated; they're largely overlooked just because they're indie movies, & that sucks.

    The 2007 movie "Spiral" is pretty underrated.
    It has a decent cast, and the plot is pretty great. Need to rewatch it soon :wow2:

    I'm not sure if over rated is the term i would use but everyone told me Shutter Island was a massive mind f--- and has all these crazy plot twists it was pretty straight forward and a little predictable imo.

    Falling Down is underrated as f---.

    Overrated, I'm going with Inception. I never really thought it was "all that", and yes, I understood the plot.

    Imo it wasn't supposed to be a mindfuck. Most of us knew where it was heading. But we somehow still hoped his delusion was real.

    The Great Gatsby is definately overrated. The acting and story is decent, but the way it was produced is wack. Great soundtrack tho
