MARTIN SCORSESE
Added 2021-07-20 17:38:51 +0000 UTCWorking on my next review for a Scorsese film that I consider weaker than his most famous films. What Scorsese film do you consider the most underrated?

Im with Stephen Id go with the Age Of Innocence

2021-07-24 03:18:02 +0000 UTCScorsese said The Age of Innocence is his most violent film he has ever made. Lol.
Brian Tran
2021-07-21 19:34:52 +0000 UTCFor me it's The Age of Innocence. It definitely received praise when it came out but to me it should be considered among his masterpieces. Also agree with those above mentioning After Hours and The Last Temptation of Christ.

2021-07-20 19:23:37 +0000 UTCAviator and Hugo are CRIMINALLY underrated!
Tony Moro
2021-07-20 19:17:02 +0000 UTCIt has its flaws, but it’s definitely one of Scorsese’s most powerful, deeply felt films. And the Peter Gabriel score is incredible.
Bennett Oliver
2021-07-20 18:35:27 +0000 UTCWell, I think it's one of his best...

2021-07-20 18:21:26 +0000 UTC>< oof.... I think Shutter Island is Scorsese's worst film.

2021-07-20 18:18:21 +0000 UTC"Shutter Island". That's a great genre movie and one of my faves of his. Honestly, I like it better than his gangster stuff or the overrated "Taxi Driver".

2021-07-20 18:17:18 +0000 UTCYea I rewatched Aviator recently and it's def flawed but I think I just had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't suck. It's been many years since I've seen BOTD but I remember it being kinda weird in an interesting way, which Scorsese just doesn't do anymore, and of course it stars Nicholas Cage which never hurts in that regard heh

2021-07-20 18:08:50 +0000 UTCI've actually never seen that one. I struggle with The Aviator though.

2021-07-20 18:08:12 +0000 UTCI actually was just watching an interview with Willem Dafoe last night on that one. I need to revisit it.

2021-07-20 18:07:23 +0000 UTCI would consider The Last Temptation of Christ to be underrated in that it doesn’t get talked about nearly enough as his other major films. But I don’t think it’s thought of as one of his weaker movies either.
Bennett Oliver
2021-07-20 18:04:43 +0000 UTCMean Streets. A portrayal of common street thugs more raw than a giant cut of steak. I'd argue that it's the dirtiest, grittiest film he's ever made. Excellent low budget cinematography and probably my favorite Harvey Keitel performance.
Wolfman Brandon
2021-07-20 18:00:49 +0000 UTCOf course this whole discussion hinges on what an underrated Scorsese means. The public doesn’t think about Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore or King of Comedy or After Hours, but cinefiles do. I would argue that at this point The Departed is underrated by Film Twitter despite winning best picture.

2021-07-20 17:58:24 +0000 UTCThe Color of Money. I believe it was dismissed as Scorsese taking a studio job to get back on track, but he didn’t mail it in. It’s Scorsese through and through. Helps to have an awesome Newman, and Cruise playing a character he was perfect for, and good supporting work by Mastrantonio.
Jim Barnes
2021-07-20 17:55:26 +0000 UTCBringing Out the Dead was pretty interesting. I also think The Aviator was quite good for a biopic
Ian
2021-07-20 17:52:49 +0000 UTCAfter Hours is definitely his most underrated, never seen Scorsese as surreal and weird as this, and the style and tones he mixes is incredible to see
