come on the rape scenes and the gang banging scenes would have had a lot more blood in them Quintin could have pulled of a decent verision of the film and he would have gotten Sameul L Jackson to be in it and yell at people for no reason

1. Signs 2. Unbreakable 3. the Sixth Sense. . . Is how I rank his latest films. I don't think the Sixth Sense really should've gotten so much acclaim. Signs is way cooler, atleast I think so. |

Melbrooks is deffinantly underrated. "Can I get A Hurumph" overrated: Spielberg. I think the only respect i have for him is as a producer. underrated: hmmmmm. both of these are directors who already have a large reputation but i think they should be classed even higher. David Mamet(mostly a screenwriter) AND Brian De Palma (i know, i know, this is a bit of a contradiction, but i think that his period isnt over yet and he deserves just as much respect as he ever did, today! Better than Coppola!!) |
I have something else to add on the whole Tarantino argument. While he is taking (or "paying homage" if you like your facts sugar-coated) a lot of his stuff blatantly from others, there is a good side. He's introducing a whole new audience to movies outside of the mainstream. I've seen people who've never heard of Akira Kurosawa or Sergio Leone or, heck, even the Shaw Brothers take an interest in things they otherwise wouldn't have known about.

m. night shamalan is the worst director I can think of. Exstremely overated as well as kobe bryant. Signs and The Sixth Sense are to of the worst (I hesitate to say a film) I have ever seen. The Ring kicks those two in the @ss!

Ang Lee has only made 8 movies so far but I feel he is turning into a very good director with a bright future in front of him.
Hulk (2003) - Haven't seen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) - good movie Ride with the Devil (1999/I) - very good movie Ice Storm, The (1997) - very good movie Sense and Sensibility (1995) - good movie Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) (USA) - very good movie Wedding Banquet, The (1993) - good movie Pushing Hands (1992) - good movie I know th Hulk wasn't too good but he has a pretty good batting average here. I also like how he is willing to try different styles of movies. His first three were about Asian culture and families (although the Wedding Banquet was particularly about accepting gay family members into a traditional Asian family). Then he took on a classic English book, a drama set in 70's suburban Connecticut, a civil war story, a karate movie and then a super hero movie. Ang Lee is obviously a person willing to take chances. |

The only movie i CAN agree he blatantly copied was Reservoir Dogs. I was amazed to see how much of the story (all of it) was copied straight from the Hong Kong action flick City on Fire. I know it was intended to 'pay respect' but i never saw it. |

I wouldnt go as far as to say he has no style of his own and he just compiles other peoples works magnificently, because it's too easy a conclusion and not true.

I also think your forgetting that Stanley Kubrick made A Clockwork Orange years before anyone knew who Tarantino was. |
I'm curious on why people think Spielberg is overrated? His movies are classics!

Overrated-Spielberg and Lucas
Underrated-Kurosawa,Romero... |
How is Kurosawa, one of the most critically acclaimed directors in the history of film, whom also has Criterion Collections devoted to his works, underrated?
|
Noone I can name has heard of him. I was referring to him not amongst movie fans but among people who don't know alot.
