What are your top 10 overrated movies?"
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2 - 4. Lord of the Rings trilogy
5. Pulp Fiction
6. A Clockwork Orange
7. Nightmare Before Christmas
8. Blade Runner
9 - 10. Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2
I can't believe that article says about Reservoir Dogs using tricks to cover up the bad story when that is exactly what Pulp Fiction is.
If I had to make a list...
- The Dark Knight (It's great, but it's not "BEST MOVIE EVAR" great...not at all)
- Juno (The story has points of creepiness and Ms. Juno is way, way, way too witty for her own damn good...always has that perfect reply to everything.)
- The Titanic (Really, what else do I have to say...)
- Wall-E (I really enjoyed the movie, but once the human aspect started on the ship the movie suffered. The lack of spoken language during the first half was great, but I found the second half to be just "ok")
- A Clockwork Orange (I just really didn't like this movie at all)
- Scarface ( I found the purposeful overacting to be annoying rather than good)
...I can't exactly think of others off the top of my head, at least not films that were really rated high. I personally think the last Indiana Jones movie was one of the worst films of the year, but I don't think it was that highly rated etc..
"HandsomeDead said:Nine hours worth of poorly directed, insultingly childish garbage? I'll pass."2 - 4. Lord of the Rings trilogy"For this treachery...we go to war."
Inb4 'But it got loads of Academy Awards. It must be amazing!'
"EvilTwin said:Well, everyone has their opinions. I guess that's why this topic exists. Still disagree with you."HandsomeDead said:Nine hours worth of poorly directed, insultingly childish garbage? I'll pass."2 - 4. Lord of the Rings trilogy"For this treachery...we go to war."
Inb4 'But it got loads of Academy Awards. It must be amazing!'"
"2001: A Space Odyssey and 28 Days Later....don't really have any others."Heresy, but I'll let it slide in the name of opinion.
That said, the Lord of the Rings trilogy IS fucking bad.
Others?
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Juno
- 300
- Anything by Tim Burton. It's all right, people. You can admit he's not a genius.
*Thank God someone else thinks this. I'm so tired of his fans going on about how his films are 'dark' and 'bleak' when all he does is make the sets a bit dirty."

"These kind of lists are always so stupid. They exist for no reason, except to start a flame war."Agreed. With any hyped movie some non conformist "rebel" is going to say it sucks.
Hype = Overrated?
"These kind of lists are always so stupid. They exist for no reason, except to start a flame war."I think there's a pseudo-masochistic pleasure one gets out of partaking in a flame war. Nothing is ever settled, and both parties get to vent/build/vent once more their frustrations.
Name calling ensues, feelings are hurt, people move on with chips on their shoulders. But, alas, we do it anyhow.
"These kind of lists are always so stupid. They exist for no reason, except to start a flame war."It's not a flame war if you actually have reasons about why you dislike films.
"ArchScabby said:Yeah, but they just choose the biggest movies and call them crap because they know that way they can stir up some controversy."These kind of lists are always so stupid.

"That is a horrible list. Seeing Apocalypse Now as the most overrated movie of all time is just incredible. That is one of my favorite movies of all time and a masterpiece. Reservoir Dogs is great too. If I say any overrated movie, it would be Juno. NOT APOCALYPSE NOW!"Definitely Juno. It's not real at all. I fucking hate that movie...
1. The Dark Knight
2 The Dark Knight
3. Juno
4. The Dark Knight
5. Star Wars (Every last one)
6. Nightmare before Christmas
7. The Departed
8. The Dark Knight
9. 300
10. The Dark Knight
Is Juno overrated? I really enjoyed it and I know it got the Screenplay Oscar but a lot of people seem to hate it.
"Is Juno overrated? I really enjoyed it and I know it got the Screenplay Oscar but a lot of people seem to hate it."
Imagine you got a girl pregnant. Imagine the girl telling her father that she was pregnant. Picture the father's reaction. Now compare it to that in the movie.
"ArchScabby said:QFMFT"These kind of lists are always so stupid. They exist for no reason, except to start a flame war."Agreed. With any hyped movie some non conformist "rebel" is going to say it sucks.

Iron Man, Juno and The Dark Knight
I'm going to be mobbed for this, but 'There Will Be Blood' is the most overrated movie I've ever seen.
Star Wars saga
"HandsomeDead said:That's a terrible justification. Imagine you're on the police force. Imagine going to visit your wife at work. Imagine terrorists take over the building. Now compare that to Die Hard. It doesn't work, mate."Is Juno overrated? I really enjoyed it and I know it got the Screenplay Oscar but a lot of people seem to hate it."

"I'm going to be mobbed for this, but 'There Will Be Blood' is the most overrated movie I've ever seen."I actually agree with it. Personally, I loved it, but it wasn't particularly great by any "objective" standards (if there are any with a medium like this).

"Iron Man, Juno and The Dark KnightJuno as a film was too self-aware. It was like it was trying too hard to have that indie tone and feel about it. Again, I liked Juno, despite its pretentiousness, but it was not a great film by any means.Seriously if Heath Ledger didn't die people wouldn't be going crazy over his "amazing" performance. And don't get me started on Juno, Im 17 and I know no teenagers at my high school of 3,000 students that talk like that. And Iron Man just sucked."
