Re: Overrated/Underrated

For sure, both of Nolan's Batman films were decidedly average.

NEW PICKS
Overrated: ANY comedy starring Adam Sandler. Other than The Wedding Singer, which had just enough 80's nostalgia to be barely passable, every other Sandler comedy I've seen (about 6 or 7 of them) has been wretched. I tend to prefer dry, satirical comedy with a sharp wit, and Sandler's main area of expertise seems to be screeching like an annoying man child for 90 minutes at a time. Actually, same thing applies to pretty much every Will Ferrell movie, too. Or Chris Farley/David Spade. Utterly unwatchable, I cannot understand the appeal of any of these guys.

Underrated: The Highlander - yes, the sequels were dreadful, just ignore that they exist. The original film gets lumped in with the stupidity of the series as a whole or dismissed as action trash, but it's great. Clancy Brown is fucking sick as the immortal Kurrgan, chasing Connor through the centuries from medieval Scotland to the Gathering in modern day New York. Chuck in an entertaining if corny cameo from Sean Connery (as a Spaniard, lol) plenty of violent swordplay, and the effects laden finale when Connor experiences "the Quickening" (which is still cool looking) and you've got a great flick. Ah, if only they had stopped there.
