Spin: Name movies that totally EXCEEDED your expectations.

[Black Magisterialness]

Personally i'd have to say
SpiderMan 2
Inception - which i thought was gonna be brainless action
Avatar - thought the effect were gonna be just ok i didn't expect that awesome shyt
The Seven Samurai - i was a japanophile in my pre-teen years and i was expecting heavy action but what i got was my introduction to not only Kurosawa but drama in general.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Inception
The Dark Knight - just expected another solid Batman flick like Batman Begins
Kick Ass - expected a cheesy wannabe super hero movie
The Social Network - expected a fluff film

I would say Road to Perdition

I watched the movie with little expectation the first around but now its one of my favorites.

I cant think of a movie with better cinematography. Underrated masterpiece.

 

[Don Dada F Poppa]

Kick Ass, I definitely thought it was gonna be a wackass movie


The Dark Knight, figured it was gonna be good, but not nearly as great as it was

 

[Savior]

Equilibrium - never heard of it till I caught it on cable one day nice little action flick.

IP man - was expecting a decent kung fu flick ended up being one of the best martial arts movies Ive ever seen.

I saw the devil - been on a korean movie tip lately, this movie was on some whole other shyt. Def not something ud see out of hollywood.

 

[Soundwave]

Half Baked

I wasn't expecting much at all, but my cousin, one of my friends and I had just seen Phantons ( ) and we needed to get that bad taste out of our mouths, so we snuck into that one ... and did NOT regret it.
