[Maritime Q-Scout]

I'm not a movie buff, I much prefer TV as a medium.

This is an interesting question as I don't generally get hyped for movies.

There are lots that I watched and loved, but without much hype per say.

The two I can think of that exceeded my expectations:

The Dark Knight - The expectations for this film were sky high. Everyone and their dog was furious over the horrible casting decision of the pretty boy from A Knight's Tale being cast as the legendary and iconic character, The Joker.

Mind blowing. Exceeded gigantic expectations. The opening bank robbery scene... perfection.

Casablanca - Sure it's a classic, one of the greatest movies of all time they say. But like in an artsy way, or actual amazing way? Might be my favourite movie of all time, and I went in expecting it to be a classic.
