Most Underrated Film:
The Mothman Prophecies. Most Overrated:
Spider-Man. Biggest Disappointment:
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Runners-up Signs, Spider and The Time Machine. Sequel/Remake:
It’s hard to decide whether to regard The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers as a sequel or whether it is more a case of one film that has been released in three parts. Thus best sequel goes to Blade II. Worst Sequel/Remake would have to go to Men in Black II.
