The Hurt Locker. Hell yeah that's right. Like I said in that other thread, this is as boring as it gets.

Checked the review on RottenTomatoes and it holds a 97% aggregate. Seriously? Among the glowing review synopses, this one caught my eye.

Beautifully shot, well acted, and completely unfocused to the point of, well, what was the point? ... don't be fooled.Kevin A Ranson on this piece of garbage

Listen to this man.

The Godfather

The Shawshank Redemption

Inception

Forrest Gump

The Matrix

The Dark Knight

Toy Story 3

Citizen Kane

Avatar

Saving Private Ryan

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

The Godfather

The Harry Potter movies. Though I may admittedly be a bit biased considering I think the books are just as overrated.

Anyone who likes the Transformers movies has a head full of sand.

I agree with Knocked Up. Horrible, horrible film.

The comedy is so predictable and amateurish. The jokes are pretty much all "hey guys/girls, women/men are so like this, right? Remind you of your relationship? Yeah, I bet! We've all been there!". Eurgh... "Look, she's all hormonal! See how she flips out at everything? It's hilarious!"

[QUOTE="raven_squad"]I think all of the films you mentioned were generally well received by audiences aswell as critics.... Anyways, a few that come to mind that I think are overrated by the critics; The Hurt Locker, Slumdog Millionaire, Troy, King Kong (Peter Jackson), and even though I enjoy it quite a bit, Juno. lightleggy

According to...?

I know quite a few people who liked Cloverfield.

Your favorite movie; I'll just go with that. :P

No, sorry.

Don't forget 95% of the junk that've won an Academy Award for "Best Picture..."

The Dark Knight.

Good movie, but I really don't see the big deal. I could agree with those who said Inception as well.

I'd agree with Avatar, and Inception.

I thought they were good, but not THAT good.

Heresy! Unclean! Burn the witch!

Fight Club is probably my favorite movie ever, in case you didn't already figure that out. :lol:

I don't know what "audiences" you're talking about. I never knew a person who didn't like any of those films (except those pathetic people that hate on all things popular...)

I don't see how avatar was overrated? It did well because it's a straightforward action movie with pretty visuals and a deep enough world to attract the common sci fi nerd (such as me :P )

Hurt locker and Inglorious Basterds were some of the most boring and overrated movies i've ever watched.
