spongebob Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 its under rated as you can get it cheap in HMV (£6.99 i got it for on dvd) and it did bugger all when it came out back in the 90's, it only became well known well after it was released, and the critics at the time didn't rate it either. On the dvd i got, there is a documentary, and most of the critics said that it was just another prison movie. How how wrong they were....←Rubbish, i've bought many a critically acclaimed film for that money and less. Critics do not make a film, the amount of people who have seen it do, in shawshanks case, nearly everyone. So no it isnt under rated, it is rated as it should be as a masterpiece. By the way the usual suspects was hated when it cae out. Was in my local multiplex for 3 days. Is this under rated i think not.Batman and robin now that is under rated, its so much worse than anyone has ever said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying is that Shawshank wasn't seen that much when it was at the cinema and only became popular afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mosquito Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'll just give my top 3 films lest I become too engrossed in this fascinating topic. ......1) Forbidden Planet.My plagiarised review of this film from the amazon.com website..... This 1956 adaptation of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' is one of the best, most influential science fiction movies ever made. Its space explorers are the models for the crew of Star Trek's Enterprise, and the film's robot is clearly the prototype for Robby in Lost in Space. Walter Pidgeon is the Prospero figure, presiding over a paradisiacal world with his lovely young daughter and their servile droid. When the crew of a spaceship lands on the planet, they become aware of a sinister invisible force that threatens to destroy them. Great special effects and a bizarre electronic score help make this movie as fresh, imaginative, and fun as it was when first released. 2) The Good, the Bad, the Ugly. Clint Eastwood (the Man with No Name) is good, Lee Van Cleef (Angel Eyes Sentenza) is bad, and Eli Wallach (Tuco Benedito Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez) is ugly in the final chapter of Sergio Leone's trilogy of spaghetti westerns. 3) Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.Amazon.com essential video review.....Jeff Bridges actually corralled an Oscar nomination for his spirited, oddball performance in this genre crime story, directed by first-timer Michael Cimino who (a short two films later) would bring down a studio with Heaven's Gate. Clint Eastwood plays a bank robber par excellence with a flair for explosives who is being hunted by his former partners, who think he has their loot from their last job. Bridges is his eager apprentice and sidekick, who helps him escape; when Eastwood finally makes peace with his hunters, Bridges convinces them to try a daring robbery--but things inevitably go awry. The relationship between Eastwood and Bridges is both funny and touching in this, one of Eastwood's better post-Dirty Harry efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
