Overrated Movies (part 2)
 
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.

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

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.

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

Supreme Olajuwon 03-25-2004 12:45 AM

Signs

the asthma saved him! what a horrible ending

Triple A 03-25-2004 12:46 AM

Yeah Signs was awful.

: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 03-25-2004 12:51 AM

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

Supreme Olajuwon 03-25-2004 12:53 AM

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 03-25-2004 01:40 AM

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 03-25-2004 02:04 AM

I enjoyed Clockwork Orange.

Boondock Saint 03-25-2004 02:06 AM

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 03-25-2004 02:11 AM

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 03-25-2004 02:15 AM

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 03-25-2004 02:16 AM

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 03-25-2004 02:23 AM

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 03-25-2004 02:26 AM

TSAM is hilarious. :love:

Boondock Saint 03-25-2004 02:32 AM

You're hilarious

Boondock Saint 03-25-2004 02:33 AM

Damn it

Boondock Saint 03-25-2004 02:37 AM

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 03-25-2004 03:04 AM

Yeah The Matrix, oy.

Also, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

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.

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 03-25-2004 08:33 AM

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."
