Movies that were surprisingly good

I tried the search engine and didn't see anything like this so I'll just start one. So yeah, what movie(s) have u watched actually turned out to be better than you thought?

I'm going with. Blood sports 2. It was very goofy and cheesy but the fight scene was surprisingly awesome! If you can look past the corny story and over-acting, I think you'll be pleasantly surprise.

Well I feel "underrated" is more of a consensus thing. Surprisingly good, to me, means a verdict against personal bias...as oppose to a group consensus...if that made any sense at all,lol. But I think I know what u mean, so mods, u can close this thread if u want.

i's different...

the Underrated thread - something that doesn't get enough credit or being good.

this thread - something you had low expectations for BEFORE YOU SAW IT and liked it when you did see it.

Children of Men

I had no idea what I was going to see besides the basics and I wasn't expecting much, but 20ish minutes into it, it turned to be a solid Sci-Fi flick and overall great movie.

Yeah, it's great. It's a work of art, which is why I think it's underrated.

Drive.

heard a lot of hype about it, but had serious doubt that it would be a good movie or that Ryan Gosling could pull off being a badass. The movie turned out to be one of my favorites of the year.

I was disappointed after listening to all the hype.
Gosling played the strong silent type but that shouldn't be mistaken as good acting IMO.
The ending was a let down too...walking away from both the money & woman he cared for.

Eh, not too different from a lot of the things you'd see on netflix.

The Beach. Definitely. I thought it was great. Never would have thought it'd be that good. The voice over worked really well. I know that's usually frowned upon by critics, but i like it. It almost reminded me of Fight Club.

21 Jump Street comes to mind. I had zero expectations for the movie- turned out the shit was hilarious.

The good acting was in his body language and facial expressions, and his ability to sell a scene and characters emotion without dialogue. He nailed it. Gosling should have got a best actor nomination for it. I mean... Clooney in the Descendants? Get out of here, the guy didn't emote a single time! Every time you thought he was about to the scene changed and the film cut to something else.

Limitless. I thought the movie would suck because I hated Bradely Cooper but I ended up loving the movie and not hating Cooper nearly as much. The Eagle for the same reasons regarding Chading Tatum or whatever his name is.

Up.

I typically have zero tolerance for sappy movies, and even less for animated ones. I watched it with my niece and probably liked it more than she did.

Please elaborate. I'd like to know if the movies you are speaking of are ones I've seen or not.
