None of the three you mention is Spanish. They're all Mexican. Ok, but judging by Webslinger's reply, people knew exactly who I meant when I said it. So it really makes no difference if they're Mexican, Chilean, Spanish or Puerto Rican. I don't condone his ignorance either. _________________

Re: Most Underrated & Overrated Directors I don't believe we're ignorant. They're all Spanish, originally.

Re: Most Underrated & Overrated Directors I didn't know there was a category for that. Am I the winner of the last 10 years?  _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: Most Underrated & Overrated Directors Overrated
Joss Whedon
Tim Burton
Zack Snyder
Neil Burger
Jon Favreau
Underrated
If only due to the ridiculous, impotent backlash from jealous, spiteful fans of other inferior directors who have been left in his shadow and eaten his dust... Christopher Nolan.

Re: Most Underrated & Overrated Directors Most overrated: Ridley Scott. When a new Scott movie comes out, it generally sucks and yet critics keep telling us how much of a legendary director he is.

Re: Most Underrated & Overrated Directors Underrated: Judd Apatow. I believe 40YOV/Knocked Up/Funny People/This Is 40 are directed in an exceptional way that's less likely to get credit

Re: Most Underrated & Overrated Directors I certainly agree with anyone who claims Joss Whedon is an overrated director.

Re: Most Underrated & Overrated Directors How could I forget Mel? He's definately in the Underrated list. He's a great, visual director.
Also, Tony Scott for Underrated.
