Here

What are your top 10 overrated movies?"
I really don't have a top ten list, but your link does not work. If you are trying to link to digg, just copy the digg link, because it seems like giantbomb is added onto the whole link.

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..

Well, everyone has their opinions.  I guess that's why this topic exists.  Still disagree with you.

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.

Agreed. With any hyped movie some non conformist "rebel" is going to say it sucks.
Hype = Overrated?

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.

It's not a flame war if you actually have reasons about why you dislike films.

Yeah, but they just choose the biggest movies and call them crap because they know that way they can stir up some controversy.

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!

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.

Iron Man, Juno and The Dark Knight

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.

I don't know about 10. But I definitely think that the Star Wars series is extremely over-rated. Only 2 episodes were any good.

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.

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).

Juno 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.
