Most overrated film you have ever seen.
- Thread starter The Infamous Scamola
- Start date
I wouldn't say its truely overrated, because I understand its just me personally who doesn't really 'get' it. But I have to agree with someone else and say The Godfather.
I found it so unbelievably boring. lol
Maybe I should watch it again now i'm a little older.. I watched it about 4 years ago and I was about 14 at the time. Though I wasn't one of 'those' 14 year olds. Still, my added maturity might help me get into the film better. Just can't be bothered to, in case my opinion stands.

You dont know anything about RT do you.sokka14 said:
The site takes most serious newspaper and internet reviews and pools them together calculating the percentage of positive and negative reviews.
The score 90% isnt a score given by one louzy reviewer, it means that out of 188 reviews 166 were positive and 12 were negative, therefore equalling a score of 90% positive reviews.
Does that explain everything?
Actually, I think that was the point of the movie. I was somewhat disappointed with Cloverfield, though. The advertisement and the trailer of the movie seems good and when I watched the actual movie, I just went, "What the fuck!!!"Obsessive_Monkey said:Quarantine and Cloverfield.. great idea with the camera's.. but after a while it seriously gives me a headacheand the lighting in Quarantine was shocking.. i understand they wanted it like that.. but what's the point of a movie when you can barely see what's happening.
Not all of us!! I LOVED Titanic. ;]Mew_chan said:Maybe you just have to be a girl because I liked it! Humph! Men!
The Thin Red Line comes to mind. Long, boring, badly directed, etc. - it's got it all.
I also wanted to say "Australlia" but that movie was not "over-rated" - it got the shitty ratings it deserved.

It's a four-way tie between Titanic, The Crow, Napoleon Dynamite and There Will Be Blood. I was especially disappointed with the second one, because the comic it's based on is a work of art. Titanic and Blood were pretentious and dull, and Dynamite just wasn't that funny overall.
EDIT: Add to that list The Shining (dull in it's attempt at being suspenseful) and Fight Club (it was okay, I guess, but it didn't change my life in any way).

Well technically Tarantino didnt direct True romance, he just wrote it but I see your point.Aedwynn said:
What about Reservoir dogs?
Yeah - I know. I put them as different paragraphs so as to try and make them separate points, but I probably should have been more clear.The infamous SCAMola said:
Resevoir Dogs was OK - I thought it was almost more of a stage play than a film. Still thought it was overrated. But mainly because of the hordes of people telling me to go see it IMMEDIATELY. It kept me watching it to the end, though. Hype will kill any film experience stone dead, I guess.
....Seriously, have you not read any of the other diatribes I've written on this subject before you went and quoted me? *sigh*Sheppard said:
I've heard every good reason to like both of those movies over the course of this thread, and again, I say to you, I've watched both movies on numerous occasions (Holy Grail far more time then I could reasonably have been expected to), and I still don't like either film. I'm sorry if that upsets your little film snob environment, but again, you, like the several others whom I've gone back and forth with are still standing proud with the FUNDAMENTAL flaw in all of your arguments: I'm not you, nor are anyone else on here who have agreed with me. I have reasons for disliking both of those movies. If you want a full list of them, read my other posts. Instead of telling me how "wrong" I am for disliking those movies, why don't you go to your nearest dictionary and look up the word "opinion" and just take that idea in for a moment. Chew it. taste it. reflect on it.
The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I'll admit that the stop-motion animation was spectacular for its time, but everything else about the movie is pretty 'Meh'.

Cloverfield *wretch* there is no point in putting soooooo much hype into something that i could pretty much have made in my backyard with all my fingers broken. And drunk.
Possibly Chicken Park too.... but then again, people tend to stay away from rating/overrating that pile of steaming.... cordial!

I think I may be the only who thinks this, but Crash was a big movie a few years ago. I couldn't understand why I was watching a movie that had more thin plot lines then a Lost episode.
When you think Pearl Harbour, you think violence, which is why I watched (on TV though, so no wasted money, although indirectly I did because time is money) the movie in the first place. And it was a love story. I have testicles and am attracted to the opposite sex, so that means I FRIGGIN HATE LOVE STORY'S. IF I WANT A LOVE STORY, I'LL MAKE IT MYSELF BUT WILL NEVER MAKE A MOVIE OUT OF IT BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT TO SCREW PEOPLE'S LIVES OVER WITH THINGS I WOULD NEVER EXPECT ANYONE ELSE TO CARE ABOUT.
