Majority of the audiences don’t listen to the critics, and big screen display will almost always win over quality entertainment. Nothing was going to stop me from seeing the movie I wanted, and least not all the bad reviews in the world. If it’s an event movie — I needed to see it for myself. It should be noted that box office should never be looked at as an indication of the mainstream public’s thoughts on a movie but only an indication of the hype. So here is a list of movies that were underrated or rather reviewed lowly and made it big:
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Box Office: $607.7 Million (so far)
Rotten Tomatoes: 19%
The Da Vinci Code
Box Office: $758.2 Million
Rotten Tomatoes: 24%
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Box Office: $961 Million
Rotten Tomatoes: 45%
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Box Office: $1,066.2 Million

Shrek The Third
