I love how they make fun of Godfather III in Simpsons, a lot of times.



Once Homer and Mel Gibson made a crappy (but actually badass) remake of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington where Mr. Smith kills everyone in the ending (haha, “all in favour - say “die””).



-Oh lord, this is worse than Godfather III!

-Whoa, let’s not say things we can’t take back, ok?

it’s often refered to as the best one (which it is) and on imdb in the top 250 it’s the highest of the trilogy I think, not that imdb is the audience but the audience votes

Same goes with Kill Bill, at least when it first came out. Volume 1 only became popular among the High School crowd when it came out on dvd 7 months after its theatrical release because they were too lazy to watch it on the big screen and didn’t even know who Tarantino was. I still think it can be considered underrated, due to the fact that most people who like it only do because it has a lot of blood, and can’t appreciate it for the work of art that it is. If you don’t even know who Sergio Leone is or can’t name one song from the film, then you’re not a true Kill Bill fan. Kill Bill was made for a specific audience, and it takes a certain type of person to see how great it really is.

That may be so, but I’ve rarely heard any SW fans in real life say that Empire is their favorite movie. More often than not, they’ll pick A New Hope or Jedi (some even Sith), so I was basing my argument on that. Just because it is so perfect, I’d say it’s underrated no matter what, because there will be a percentage who doesn’t like it as much as the others who says it sucks just because it doesn’t have as much action in it.

Definitely. There’s a couple of scenes that kinda fall flat but overall it’s a really gripping movie.

I love Nic Cage and this movie is very gripping as JW said, I just dont like it though…same with bringing out the dead



Maybe I have to watch them again…
