James Van Elswyk posted a discussionWhat movies have you guys seen that you went in not expecting much, but walked out completely wowed? For me, the big one would have to be District 9. I went in expecting just another sci-fi actioner...and instead got one of the strongest, most compelling political allegories in years. What say you?

Permalink Reply by Cambo on April 9, 2012 at 4:07am you just reminded me of when I finally got around to seeing Highlander and Scarface, the plots seem kinda dull but they were pretty awesome movies.
Permalink Reply by Zulzon on April 9, 2012 at 1:32am I think to a certain extent Iron Man could qualify. I had heard good things about it, but I never thought it would be such a good film. The opposite? Iron Man 2!
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a very good film, but I didn't expect that at all, I thought it would be a piece of crap science fiction drama film.
But I did not real have movies that I went in having low expectations to actually "wow" me.
