Ok since there has been such a succesful thread of underrated movies, why not make one with overrated movies. What movies are in your opinion the most overrated movies? I'd say the Godfather 1 and 2 are the most overrated movies. Sure, they are good movies but honestly I think any Martin scorsese mafia movie beats Coppola's hands down. |
||||||||

Ah c'mon man they're damn good films. Overretaed.... Hmmm. What about Pulp Fiction. Actually, I love that movie. But "The Bonnie Situation" scene with Quentin acting badly was shite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mm.. I do agree on The Godfather 2 - imo nr.1 is much much better. 'american beauty' is way way WAY overrated. |

off the top of my head Natural Born Killers Star Wars + sequels (I still like them a lot, but very overrated) Pi Gladiator |

Full Metal Jacket I love it, and I think it's a classic, but something about it just doesn't click with me. It's funny but not funny enough, violent but not violent enough, weird but not weird enough... I don't know. Babble babble babble. I much prefer Saving Private Ryan... starring Mr. Hanks. ;-) |
||||||||

|
|
the first scene of ryan is pretty good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't agree on Pi - its good.. saving private ryan: ha ha ha. 'ghost world' is overrated - very disappointing when you know the graphic novel. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pi is overrated, it hasn't even got a proper plot, just a stupid excuses for dodgy camera work. Requiem for a Dream is style over substance. In fact most films are overrated junk. |

Citizen Kane. i've seen it three times, and i still haven't found out what's so special about that movie....i guess the technical aspect in that is way ahead of its time...but the story is mediocre and just plain boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
again, I don't agree. CK is slow by todays standards, but as you say, the technical aspect was revolutionary at the time and definded the way we see movies today. still, doesn't mean you have to appreciate that ofcourse. |

Austin Powers I watched it three times to try and see what all the hub bub was about. It was simply unfunny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the 1st one isn't. 2nd one is though. "I call it.. the 'death star'.." "the 'laser' was made by the English physicist dr.Parsons.. thats why we call this the 'Alan Persons Project'." |
||||||||
|

|

Yes. American beauty was sappy and way to sentimental. The sixth sense is pretty damn overrated, as its simply a vehicle for a suprise ending. Lame. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with Gladiator being overrated as well. Badly filmed, flimsy special effects and crap storyline do not a good movie make. |

100 % of movies russell crowe acts in |

disagree with Ophecks Full Metal Jacket sets the standard in war movies It deals with the anal dehumanisation both graphically and humourously at the same time. It deals with individuality in a collective situation and also the futility of combat Its a truly worthy flick..... Unlike ",....Ryan" which is a balls out US war propaganda piece acting as vehicle for the Spielberg/Hanks career complex..... My most overrated movies are 1) AI (cringeworthy nonsense) 2) Lord of the rings (great effects; but ultimately unadulterated mush) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AI too, that is one of the cheesiest movies ever in the history of film |
||||||||
|
|

even though I have grown to enjoy it as a sort of postmodernist pastiche of all the greatest scifi movie that came before it..but when I first saw Matrix..I couldnt help but count all the stuff stole from all that's been before..and that naff martial arts stuff went on for too long had me rolling in the aisles (I seen too many HK movies) so yes Matrix..even though it's a blast and a trat..but it's the least original scifi flick being hailed as the most original to come in ages.. |

american beauty. ice storm beats the pants off that one, and ice storm the BOOK beats the pants off the movie adaption. |

2001 because... oh wait, what the fuck am I saying. *runs away* |
||||||||

|

Yeah definately Gladiator, it remnded me of a cheesy soap opera or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I think both Ice Storm and American Beauty are equally good..and Ice Storm IS underated..true |

i think anything with mass hype and popular appeal is overated. you know the shite movies that have a big star just to sell it...XXX if u consider that guy a star for acting like the natural retard he is, or at least acts like in view of the public. i thought gladiator or anything with russel crowe is shit, maybe because he's like the new bruce willis, diehard in every movie....etc....anything steven spielburg touches he ruins now. Lets not get started on George Lucas ;) luckly peter jackson is keepin things real ;) i'm sure if the above mention directers where in his shoes the characters in the LOTR movies would be drinking pepsi in pubs, and driving cars around middle-earth (well maybe not). i like movies don't get me wrong, but i hate sell outs hidden adverts, and shit recycled stories. i hate hollywood. I hate movies that are made just to sell to 14 yr old girls, and or teens, i hate chick flicks....Its been years since i've seen anything decent hit the theaters, and since many of the major studios have bought out smaller distribs, you'll never see a good independant flick unless it makes a film fest in east bumble fuck, which you won't be able to see unless you go :) i hope hollywood dies. ~the end~ |

fight club. gladiator. can't imagine how someone could think Pi is overrated, just the soundtrack makes it one of the greatest films ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
waiting for guffman a beautiful mind scarface (anything by de Palma) anything by michael bay all one joke comedies (the full monty, happy texas, saving grace) ...also fight club is getting harder to bear every time i watch it...i used to love it and i own the dvd, but now when i watch it more and more lines are starting to get to me (as in: 'restore your seatbacks to their full, upright, and locked positions';'i wanted to destroy something beautiful') |
