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 03-25-2004 10:10 AM

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.

Pirates of the Caribbean
The Harry Potter Movies
Identity

ilt_undertaker 03-25-2004 01:59 PM

<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>

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

Boondock Saint 03-25-2004 03:40 PM

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

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

Ol Dirty Dastard 03-25-2004 07:54 PM

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 03-25-2004 08:19 PM

<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>

I agree with everything there except American Beauty, Forrest Gump, and Memento. American Beauty especially.

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 03-25-2004 11:21 PM

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

Ol Dirty Dastard 03-26-2004 11:34 PM

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.

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

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.

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

Titanic
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka

Gertner 03-30-2004 11:38 AM

Any Adam Sandler or Kevin Smith movies

CosaNostra 03-31-2004 01:21 AM

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 03-31-2004 01:23 AM

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