Most Overrated Films

The Crash from 2004. The sheer thought of it makes me want to vomit. Horrid, pretentious and one big p*sstake.

Honourable mentions:

There Will Be Blood. Daniel Day Lewis does a spot of 'method' acting again. The film turned into a melodrama towarRAB the end.

Casino Royale. It was an OK film, hardly a classic.

The Bourne Ultimatum. The other two were better.
 
ALL Bond films are overrated. Even the crapper-than-usual ones. Why we have to be subjected to this purile macho-crap every year or so until Osama blows the world to pieces I'll never know.
 
LOTR is designed for people with decent attention spans.

And ROTK should have been longer - they left out the scouring of the Shire which I felt was very important.
 
I have to agree with previous posters who mentioned the following:

No Country for Old Men - Truly awful film, worst ending ever
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind - I turned this off after 20 minutes or so too and I normally watch a film through no matter how bad
The Dark Knight - Whilst it was quite good, it was totally over hyped etc
Fight Club

In addition I'd like to add:

Napolean Dynamite - I like the film, but it was so hyped up with some cult following etc
Most Jack Black films - Probably because I don't find him that funny:o
 
LOL

Erm, no, I am not related to Mr Murdoch (though I am related to a few notables), I simply thought the slandering of a man who was in fact one of the heroes that fateful night by the film as a coward was a disgrace.
 
My boss (I'm on shift now) has just told me that a girl who works in this office was shocked the other day to discover that it might have been faked. :rolleyes:

Unbelievable! :D
 
Lost in Translation - self indulgent bilge. Oh I'm rich in one of the world's most dynamic cities. Boo hoo.

American Beauty - it was the repressed homsexual wotdunnit.
 
'Citizen Kane' has to be one of them for me. I understand it was ground-breaking etc but I've just found it boring every time I've tried to watch it.

The original 'Star Wars' trilogy also spring to mind.

'It's A Wonderful Life', 'Moulin Rouge', 'Seven Samurai'....
 
Ones I saw and thought were rubbish
Forest Gump
The Shawshank Redemption

One I never saw cos everyone kept going on about it
Jurassic Park

Like many said each to their own but I think Lord of The Rings is superb and also love The Royal Tennenbaums. It would be a very boring world if we all liked the same stuff
 
I must admit I didn't realise it was faked/internet hype until some years later. It wasn't because I was fooled though. It was because I simply didn't give a toss.


I recoiled when I saw clips of Cloverfield. The camcorder style brought BWP flooding back to me. Haven't seen it yet myself but I heard it likened to BWP.
 
I'm sure we've been through this before. There is no imo music in Gangs of New York. I don't think the genre was even called that back in 2002.



Right, was he the first mate who shot someone then shot himself? If that's who he was, then I know what you're on about, but read IMDB's top reviews for Pearl Harbour. They're hilarious and informative. Well worth a read to see just how incredibly inaccurate and insulting it is to history.
 
I've heard it likened to BWP only because of the camera angles, and that's all. To be honest, it sounRAB like a more appealing way of spending a couple of hours than the time I watched BWP.
 
Sin City.

Halloween [1978].

Near Dark.

Dawn of the Dead [2004].

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre [1974].

The Dark Knight
If Heath hadn't died when he did the movie would never have got the attention it did. It only gets hyped due to his death during the production of the movie. His role in it isn't used as much as it should have been to warrent such attention. The death of someone famous brings on an attention rate beyond anything anyone living can bring to the fold.
 
It was still a shit film. :D




We really shuold be used to the idea that any American financed "historical" movie is going be about as factual as anything written by the Brothers Grimm :D
