School of Rock - I love this movie. Had no idea that it would be so much fun. I played it on a loop at work all the time.

Jack Black really made the movie stand out. Great comedian who can act as well.

Zootopia and Captain America: Civil War were both surprisingly good for me.

He really did.  He was perfect in that role.  Everything about the concept meshed with his style, maybe because he acts like a kid himself and he loves music. 

Come to think of it, Nacho Libre wasn't all that bad ...



Zootopia.

Was expecting an average kids movie, was WAY more than that.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Guardian of the Galaxy... Ant-Man...

I mean, I didn't like it, but it's better than 90% of Kevin Hart's movies.

 

Jack Black's role in King Kong(2005) and Goosebumps is underrated though. He has a lot of roles he can do outside of comedy or goofyness(i.e School of Rock, Kung Fu Panda, Nacho Libre, etc).

Ghostbusters remake... just kidding.

I think I've felt certain James Bond films exceeded my expectations.



Actually, I was most shocked watching After Earth. I went in expecting a horrible piece of crap, but I actually found it pretty enjoyable. It wasn't amazing, but it sure was surprising.

Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was awful. Then the movie came out.

^ this.

I was so so for the movie.... then I watched it and was like "holy sh*t! best super hero type movie ever".

 

Mirroring otheres here but yeah... Zootopia, was better than I expected.

Inside Out - I had no idea it was going to be that good or that mature.

I was so hyped by the trailers for it... then when I watched it I was just let down.

I dont understand what everyone seems to love about it.
