Your Ten Most Over Rated Movies (Explain)

scarface.comp_atkins

Definately, it was so boring!

1. Scarface - iconic? Yes. Good? No.

2. Nightmare Before Christmas - everything about this film annoyed the hell out of me. Can't stand it.

3. Lost in Translation - found it boring. Didn't care about the characters at all. Though I'll admit its well directed.

4. Akira - a perfect example of a film with flaws that are overlooked simply because it was influential.

5. Every Indiana Jones film - Never liked them for some reason. They bore me.

6. District 9 - no idea why everyone sings the praises of this film. The acting was good but I felt like the film didn't know what it wanted to be. Is it a documentary? A social commentary? An action movie? Who knows... To me, it felt like it was getting pulled in different directions and never settled.

Can't think of any more :P

nightmare before christmas? :cry: such a great movieJandurin

I know, I grew up watching it, I don't get why most people hate it. :(

Gonna say Gone with the Wind. Maybe because I am too young to really give a rat's ass about it. I agree about the Nightmare Before Christmas. I tell people I enjoy that movie and they think I am a goth, which really sucks, because that was a pretty cool movie.

Yeah, I'll agree with 'Up'. It's the only Pixar film I haven't watched all the way through. I mean, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Cars were all fantastic films but Up was just so friggin' boring I couldn't hack it.

Three from last year: Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, Gran Torino.

Imma go ahead and say "Boondock Saints." I didnt even like defoe in that movie, although I can't see why anyone would think "American Beauty" is overrated.

2001: A snorefest.

The Dark Knight and Forrest Gump.

I can only think of two, and they're Forest Gump and Wall-E. Wall-E wasn't bad but I thought it was kind of boring. The first half of the film was just the robot collecting trash, and there wasn't much dialogue until the second half.

I will be the first to say it. The Godfather. *Locks self in nuclear fallout shelter*Head_of_games

Lost in Translation. The movie was bad, mmkay? Well, not bad, but not good. Just completely mediocre.Jandurin

Saving Private Ryan.Neon-Tiger

overrated?

[QUOTE="Neon-Tiger"]Saving Private Ryan.Anarchy4hire82

overrated?

I cant think of most overrated right now, but recently I would pick Gran Torino, and Zombieland. Gran Torino was average at best, Clint was good in it but the story was ridiculously cheesy and predictable, the acting was awful, and overall it felt almost like a Lifetime original movie that just happened to have Clint Eastwood in it. Zombieland was fun, but aside from Woodly Harrelson and the camea it was pretty average. For a movie called Zombieland there were not many good zombie scenes, and every other character apart from Woody was boring to me. I have said it before but I will say it again, Dead Snow, and Pontypool>>>>>>>>>>>Zombieland.

Saving Private Ryan.Neon-Tiger

I agree, aside from the battle scenes I didnt think it was that good. Stalingrad had better battle scenes anyway. There are tons of better war films like Cross of Iron for example.

haha i love stalingrad! I thought nobody else has ever seen that movie

No movie in my opinion is ovverated :?

1 being the worst, and 10 being the least worse.

1.) Transformers 2 - If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about.

2.) The Pink Panther 2 - Watch the movie and see for yourself.

3.) Agent Cody Banks - Frankie Muniz impersonating James Bond. Really?

4.) The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Funny, but has a story. Comedies aren't suppose to have long stories.

5.) Rambo (2008 version) - It'll never be as good as the original.

6.) RV - I honestly thought that this would be a better movie. Comedy isn't even that great.

7.) Signs - With such a great trailer, I thought I'd see more.

8.) Open Season 2 - One of the worse movies ever made. DVD release of course.

9.) Speed Racer - I was hoping a free seizure didn't come with the movie.

10.) Fast And Furious 3: Tokyo Drift - Eh, wasn't as good as the first two.

funnyhow every movie i love is on everyone's list :P

if i have to pick i would say juno and scanners.

juno because of all the hipsters who proclaim it the greatest movie ever.

i rented scanners afew weeks ago to see if it really is as great amovie as everyone says it is (plus me being horror fan) andi love videodrome and the fly, but i just found that movie so boring, the beging was excllent but after 20 min i got extreamly tired and bored. the ending however was brilliant.

Yeah, I'll agree with 'Up'. It's the only Pixar film I haven't watched all the way through. I mean, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Cars were all fantastic films but Up was just so friggin' boring I couldn't hack it.

Clint was good in it but the story was ridiculously cheesy and predictable, the acting was awful, and overall it felt almost like a Lifetime original movie that just happened to have Clint Eastwood in it.

Film-Guy

Completely agree with this statement.

• Citizen Kane
• Scarface
• Lawrence of Arabia

• Million Dollar Baby - Cliched filled melodrama.
• Pulp Fiction - Mildly entertaining with some good dialogue, but no where near being a masterpiece.
• The 400 Blows - I like it a lot, but I don't find it to be as great as most say.
• Collateral - Highly unrealistic film. Only positive quality is Tom Cruise's performance.

Just a random bunch of films that I think are overrated.

Completely agree with this statement.

It baffles me how much praise it gets. Out of the two films Clint made that year, Changeling is better in every way. It baffles me how much praise Gran Torino gets, that kid Thao in particular was painfully awful. Especially when he was yelling "WALT!" when he was trapped behind the door.

1. The Dark Knight: Terrible ending, Two Face was useless, it was just kind of inept in that sense and a lot of the acting was awful... 2. Fight Club: It's a really good movie but it's not the godsend teens make it out to be 3. Gladiator: Best picture my assToriko42

I have not seen your ass, and I am sure many haven't so saying it is best picture does not make sense. I however would nominate it.

I agree that Changeling is the better film. It's insanely ridiculous that Gran Torino gets so much praise around here. Everyone in the film was terrible, with the exception of Eastwood, who was just good.
