It was very far from absolute pants. The jerky lack of consistency in the story elements is exactly the same as my son uses when he is telling me stories. That's a very hard stylistic thing to be able to capture in film; the mystic, fairy tale like disregard for explanation and causality, which is learnt with age, is absent in younger children and that is a very clever part of the film. Visually it is stunning and overall I thought it was very enjoyable.

Well said. Tarsem conveys extremely well the creativity of a child's imagination and their ability to be awed by what themselves are imagining.

In animation, I get tired of critics claiming that The Little Mermaid was responsible for the resurgence of Disney animated features. It was actually Who Framed Roger Rabbit. WFRR made TLM possible.
Possibly the most underrated western is Winchester '73. Possibly.
Our Ho ...[text shortened]... it.
The Sixth Sense is probably underrated; it is the finest ghost story ever put to film.
never heard of winchester '73, will check it out!
although i love "our hospitality" and like the fact you've put it ahead of chaplin (who gets put ahead of keaton too often for my liking), i can't agree that it's better than the general. the finest silent film of all time, in my opinion, especially if watched with the carl davis score

The General is not an underrated film, though. 😉
Most underrated movie ever
