Nacho Man has done some stupid things
The Lord of the Rings, ESPECIALLY the 3rd one, which almost redeemed the trilogy had it not been for the horrible self-congratulatory, gratuitous, pompous ending which was stretched out about 45 minutes too long with about a dozen possibilities on which to conclude without dragging the story on for an agonising length.

Boondock Saints is the man. It wasn't a Tarrantino ripoff at all. It is what it is, and it's one of those movies that you're just like "" whence watching.

I would have to agree with Titanic. For what it's worth, it wasn't a great movie - just cool special effects and stuff.

My choice is the Matrix...that movie blows. Number 3 makes up for the suckiness of the second one but damn, I'd never waste money on that shit again...

Overrated or overexposed? If a movie is great and everyone thinks it's great it tends to get the term "overrated" but an overrated movie is a movie that isn't good that the general consensus thinks is good. Lord of the Rings, Scarface, Requiem For A Dream? Almost all of the movies you mentioned AT LEAST hold lots of artistic merit. They're not BAD movies.

The most truly overrated movies ever are the Matrix movies, including the first one [just not nearly as much]. Reloaded aside from sick action scenes was pretty bad, and Revolutions is seriously one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and I've seen Cats and Dogs.

Lots of people I know rave over Signs, but I thought "whatever".

The idea that the aliens are vulnerable to water is gay. Wouldn't they get hurt just for walking around our water-ladden atmosphere? And the alien trying to kill the boy by spraying that shit in his face. Why wouldn't he just tear his head off if he really wanted to kill him?

In short, that movie was WAYYYYYYYYY overrated.
