Overrated Movies (part 2)

[Triple A]

Boondock Saints.

I don't get what is so special about this movie. It kinda sucked dick, in my opinion. It was a Tarantino wannabe, but not nearly as good. The story was a mess. I was like, what the **** is this. I DUNNO MAN.

[DaveWadding]

Punch Drunk Love

Punch Drunk Love
I can see why a lot of people wouldn't like that movie. It is amazing, IMO. It's in my top ten of all time probably.

Why didn't you like it? Tell me why you thought it was overrated.

[DaveWadding]

It was just dumb...

Sandler's acting didn't fit the movie...and the plot seemed mad random.

It's like "Look, I bought a shit load of pudding, now I'm following some chick to Hawaii" ...what?

Also, Adam Sandler sucks.

Sandler's acting didn't fit the movie? What are you talking about? The movie was written just for him. His acting was perfect for the movie.

And yes, it was a weird movie. Not for everyone, but that's what makes it better than all the other bullshit out in theaters. It was different.

How is Gigli overrated? Do you know what overrated means?

[Paki Crippler]

<font color=Silver>Gigli(sp)</font>

didnt that got the worst movie ever award :-\

[ilt_undertaker]

<font color=Silver>^Yeah, it earned all the Razzies this year</font>

[el fregadero]

<font color=teal>Finding Nemo.</font>

[Splaya]

For Gigli to be overrated it would need to be rated first

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Signs

the asthma saved him! what a horrible ending

[Triple A]

Yeah Signs was awful.

[Buzzkill]

American Pie

[Boondock Saint]

Boondock Saints.

:mad:

Just kidding, but the movie was written before Pulp Fiction even came out. There was Reservoir Dogs, but that really got no mainstream attention until Pulp hit big. The story is pretty simple really. IMO, it could have been improved upon. But I DUNNO. It really is a like it or don't movie I think. You seem to have rather good taste, so I respect your opinion.


As for the topic, um......wtf, I can't think when I need to about this, but when I don't need to, I can. Ahh. Blair Witch Project I guess. It sucked royally. It was different, but that is no excuse for being a crap movie.

[Splaya]

naw. American wedding was the overrated one. Pie 1 and 2 were the best.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I liked Boondock Saints. I thought it was dumb how Il Duce was related to the brothers and stuff. But it was good.

Willem Dafoe is the man

[Frank Grimes Jnr]

Boondock Saints is my fave movie of all time.

But the most overrated movie of all time would have to be A Clockwork Orange.
All it was, was mindless violence and raping. It was awful.

In nimine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti

[Boondock Saint]

I enjoyed Clockwork Orange.

[Boondock Saint]

I also feel Traffic is pretty overrated. Not that it was bad, but I didn't enjoy it as much as some of his other stuff and didn't see what the praise about it was.

[The Icon of Elisim]

I thought Pollock was sh</>it. I mean the art was cool but the story felt like a waste of time.

Basically the guy is happy, then sad, then happy, then sad etc

[Triple A]

A Clockwork Orange is the best movie ever, but I can see why a lot of people wouldn't like it too.

Traffic sucked ****ing cock.

[Triple A]

OH, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Yes, the original (the remake is even worse). Such a shitty movie. I guess it was good for its time, but when you watch it today, wow it is really pretty shitty.

[Boondock Saint]

I enjoy TCM, but the remake does indeed blow huge.


I didn't see all the hype for There's Something About Mary either. I laughed but didn't think it was HILARIOUS in the slightest.

[Triple A]

TSAM is hilarious. :love:

[Boondock Saint]

You're hilarious

[Boondock Saint]

Damn it

[Boondock Saint]

The Matrix as well. I like it. But I don't think it is worthy of all the praise it receives either.

Did not like 2 though, never saw 3.

[Triple A]

Yeah The Matrix, oy.

Also, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

[DegenerationY]

Once Upon a Time in Mexico

[DegenerationY]

The Ring

[John la Rock]

Titanic

[Vega]

Titanic
Signs
Casablanca
Eyes Wide Shut
Being John Malkovich
Cast Away
Planet Of The Apes (new one)

[Triple A]

Titanic
Signs
Casablanca
Eyes Wide Shut
Being John Malkovich
Cast Away
Planet Of The Apes (new one)
Titanic - Yes
Signs - Yes
Casablanca - Yes, maybe.
Eyes Wide Shut - No. Underrated if anything.
Being John Malkovich - Nah. It rules.
Cast Away - I liked it.
Planet Of The Apes (new one) - No, because it got shitty reviews.

[The Mask]

i thought donnie darko was pretty overrated. It was decent, don't get me wrong but I don't get why everyone loves it so much. It seems to be a case of "ALSKDLKSAF I don't know what the f</>ucks happening, so it must be awesome"

[TheNamelessOne]

Lord Of The Rings - I loved all 3 movies, but when you have people constantly talking about how they are the best movies of all time, it pisses me off.

The Matrix - Liked the first one, ditto the second, hated the third. To hear people say "Its the modern Citizen Kane" really pisses me off too.

That's the same way I felt about "Vanilla Sky."

[Shaggy]

Shrek, I didnt like it when it was in the theatres and I dont like it now.

[MrMeJW]

Pirates of the Caribbean
Any M. Night Shyamalan Movie
Fast and the Furious (it was only rated high by dusch bags but still)

[Nacho Man]

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.

[mitch_h]

Pirates of the Caribbean
The Harry Potter Movies
Identity

[el fregadero]

<font color=teal>Titanic.</font>

[ilt_undertaker]

<font color=Silver> :$, for some reason I put a movie that I though was over-hyped instead of over-rated, so anyways here's my list:

Titanic
LOTR (all of them)
Harry Potter (all of them)
Pirates of the Caribbean</font>

[DMI]

American Beauty..wtf was that movie about. Still not sure how it won anything.

[Boondock Saint]

Oh yeah. American Beauty gets a vote from me as well. Good movie, no doubt. Not a masterpiece or anything though.

[The Miz]

american beauty
forrest gump
memento
the shawshank redemption
lord of the rings 1-3
matrix 1-3
star wars 1-3, i'm pretty sure everybody agrees the new ones suck
silence of lambs
requiem for a dream
kill bill vol. 1
saving private ryan
alien 1-2 (didn't see the others)
signs
the sixth sense
o brother, where art thou?
gladiator
magnolia

[ilt_undertaker]

<font color=Silver>Yeah, I disagree about Forrest Gump too</font>

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

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 ":cool:" whence watching.

[BlackRavyyn]

<font color=seablue><i>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...</i></font>

The Usual Suspects

[Triple A]

The Usual Suspects
True. :y:

[The Miz]

i dunno, american beauty was ok, not a bad film by any means, i just didn't think it was the greatest movie ever like some people did. forrest gump & memento are just shit though.

[The Miz]

also, :eek: @ you agreeing with kill bill, magnolia, and scarface

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The Usual Suspects is key.

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.

[House of Pancakes]

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.

You're aware the movies were based on a book, right?

[The Miz]

They're not BAD movies.

didn't say they were. scarface and requiem are average movies that i've heard many people call the best movies ever. hence, overated.

LOTR sucks cock though.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Star Wars

[Mic Blaze]

Matrix 2 and 3
All 3 Lord of The Rings
Bad Boys 2

[OssMan]

Pocahontas
The Lion King (sorry)

[Frank Grimes Jnr]

Bad Boys 2

Who the hell liked Bad Boys II in the first place? it was never overrated.

Most overrated movie is probably Terminator II.
I just didn't get into it and it dragged on for way too long.

[Xen0ciDe]

Titanic
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka

[Gertner]

Any Adam Sandler or Kevin Smith movies

[CosaNostra]

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.

[CosaNostra]

Natural Born Killers........another movei that is way overrated.
