I appreciate all the comments on this thread. I’ll go back and reference it numerous times probably.
Hardly anyone wanted to highlight moves they think deserve a bit less hype. That’s always harder.
As a very unpopular set of views, I’ll give two of my answers that I didn’t see referenced. These aren’t my only answers, but I’m picking them for the spice.
-I think Cloud Atlas is underrated.
-I think Dark Knight is overrated.
Now, before you shoot me, I will provide an important caveat. I love Dark Knight more than Cloud Atlas. However, I think that Dark Knight is a bit overrated, and Cloud Atlas is a bit underrated.
Dark Knight is often considered close to a 10/10 whereas I’d say it’s a 9/10. I can list a ton of plot holes.
Cloud Atlas is often considered like a decent 6/10 or 7/10 where I’d say it’s an 8/10 or better. In addition to its quality as a movie, the complexity it took to change the script from a novel to a movie to make use of a movie’s advantages and disadvantages was an insanely hard challenge. They had to structurally change parts of the plot and have it still make sense.
