Most over-rated films of all time.

Uhh Napoleon Dynamite. When that first came out, everyone I know wouldn't shut up about it, and it was pretty bad. Watching it was a waste of my life.socked_feet

i couldn't agree more. it's not funny and it mocks autistic people. my sister is autistic and she found it rather insulting.

I know...I slept halfway.

How is this the highest grossing movie of all time?

how's it offensive to autistic people? There isn't any autistic people in the movie if I remember.

the director of the film has worked with autistic people and based the character's speech, and interaction on autistic behavior. my sister acts similiar to the main character in the sense that she can get frusterated easily, say random things with no relivance to anything, and talk in a similiar tone. quite honestly i have to agree that it does mock the autistic.

:lol:

you got me there.....

I honestly was let down by the Godfather more than any other movie in my entire life, and i watch tons of movies. I couldnt find one thing that i really enjoyed about it. I didnt sympathize or relate with the characters, and characters are what really draw you into the movie. The plot was simple revenge plot just not done well, and it was 3 hours worth of boring. And trust me, i can handle boring, the assassination of jesse james, there will be blood, and schindlers list are a few movies that i thoroughly enjoyed despite how long they were. Godfather however had nothing going for it.

A close second place has to be recent best picture winner No Country For Old Men. With quite possibly the worst ending in the history of film and plot holes galore how can anyone with a sane mind deem this to be best picture when a great film like Gone Baby Gone wasnt even nominated! Michael Clayton deserved the oscar over No country.

Scarface

Pulp Fiction

2001: A Space Oddyssey

Main emphasis is on Scarface. Wasn't very entertaining and definitely not worth all the hype. Even Pacino's performance isn't anything incredible....

A_Tarkovsky

Why 2001?

maybe because of the ending?

why pulp fiction? I agree with scarface. I'm sure it was much better in its time though.

It was so slow and boring without actually keeping me entertained. It also reeked of an insane level of pretentiousness I have never come across in any movie.

As for Pupl Fiction, it isn't so much I thinks it's bad or anything but I just don't get what all the hype is about. It was mildly entertaining, but certainly not a classic.

Why was it pretentious?

For one thing the excrutiatingly slow pace suggest Kubrick was very full of himself and felt that it was so amazing everything needed to go at a snails pace. Don't get me wrong I am a big Kubrick fan (I actually am thinking of getting into film as a director and hes my sort of "role model" in that area) but God I have no idea what got into him when he made that movie.

Also, the dawn of man type stuff and the insane overruse of symbolism shows he was thinking very highly of himself at the time. Symbolism is awesome but only in moderation. You need SOME directness to make the symbolism worthwhile.

Also, the 5 minute scenes just showing spacecraft in outerspace where downright unneccessary and freaking ridiculous. It is amazing to see such a great director make a movie with such horrible pacing. Anyone else would get chewed out like no other for stuff like that....

I especially disagree on your last point. Particularly in Russia you'll find a number of highly respected directors whose films move at a snail's pace. You don't like it, but I relish it when they do it well, as I feel Kubrick did on 2001.

I might appreciate it if I felt the slow-pace had a point but it didn't in my mind. I can handle long movies as long as they keep me entertained (I couldn't believe the Dark Knight was 2 and a half hours long as the time flew by because of how awesome and intense it was). 2001 just couldn't keep me entertained....

The Deer Hunter.

An hour and a half of home video grade wedding footage and a horrible bar scene followed by remarkably lame war footage. Its only saving grace is the roulette scene, but I can't really call it a saving grace when it doesn't help make the rest of the movie watchable.

Juno. From the trailers and TV ads, it looked like a pretty good movie. However, I was really disappointed when I finished watching it. After all the awards it was nominated and won, the fact that it was in IMDb's Top 250 (which it still is), and Roger Ebert calling it the best film of the year, I was expecting a lot more.King_Creole_35

I second that. The only reason i went to see it was because Jason Bateman and Michael Cera were in it and nothing else was out at the time. I thought it was pretty boring for getting so much praise. And not to mention, i did not like Juno's character. She was just annoying, and kind of reminded me of a young Sarah Silverman. Thats not a good thing.

And to the people saying Pulp Fiction, come on. That was one of Samuel L Jackson's best performances, and Uma Thurman was very hot in it. There are so many classic scenes in it. I cant stand when people say they didnt like it.

Samuel L Jackson had probably his best performance in pulp fiction.

I knew this was coming from someone...

I cant really think of one, but the most recent would be The Departed, yeah it was good, but not deserving of The Best Picture Award and defiantly not Scorsese best.

I agree, Letters from iwo Jima deserved to get the best picture and best director awards.

I Am Legend. Book was 10 times better. leviathan91

agreed, the film was a piece of crap with terrible CGI creatures and a bad ending. It was an insult to the book.

Bladerunner...

It was good, just felt way too slow and weird.
