Most Overrated Films

Totally!

I've just finished watching the first one on Channel 4, it was basically all gore and no real conclusions. No wonder they can spin so many sequels out of that seemingly endless franchise. Also the killer? is a puppet on a bicycle.

Whatever!
 
I enjoyed it as I loved the fight scenes and the hats!!

Bit uncomfortable with the black people getting tucked up at the end, but that is American history I suppose.
 
A puppet :o? I thought it was a child!

I had Saw on in the background and found myself glancing every time a gory moment happened :eek:!

My friend said they were disappointed with the movie, and hope they stop at Saw 5!
 
Titanic I've never actually seen all the way through. I just get bored after a while...it's the modern equivalent of epic guff like Gone With The Wind which also bores the pants off me.

Citizen Kane, on the other hand, is deservedly a cinema classic IMO. The story is not particularly gripping but it's the use of the tools of the cinema which fascinates - and has annoyed some, who have accused Welles of throwing every cinematic trick into the pot just to be clever.

It's still a beautiful film to look at and one of those films which elevates cinema to an art form, although that doesn't necessarily mean it's great entertainment. It depenRAB what you're looking for...
 
It was the arty plastic bag and the reality that all militaristic types are really repressed homosexuals.

Pretentious twadlle that pretenRAB it has depth it doens't. Patronising beyond belief. "There's Something About Mary" had more depth.
 
Ally McBeal once sacked her babysitter because he didn't like Moulin Rouge. She figured there had to be something wrong about him which made him unfit to be around children.
 
You're hilarious. For someone so dismissive about such things I wonder why you'd bother joining in on a RAB thread. We all know discussing these things doesn't matter or change anything but it is just fun.

Anyway for me it has to be Pulp Fiction or anything by Woody Allen.
 
Lost In Translation ~ yes! There was another couple of hours of my life I'll never get back.

Garden State was a let down too but didn't help that it was so highly recommended by a friend so my expectations were very high.

Not seen any of the others mentioned (and appreciate the warnings :D)

Hostel ... not so sure it was a let down or just TOO gross, even for this horror & gore fanatic
 
I hated Moulin Rouge, that's another one for my list! Baz Lurhmann's films are like they've been directed by a child who's got ADHD, flashy, whizzing cameras, and completely emotionally shallow. My friend was in tears at the end of Moulin Rouge and I walked out of the cinema utterly unmoved, and wondered if I'd missed something. I then saw Strictly Ballroom at the behest of my sister, and realised that I hadn't - I just can't stand the way he directs.
 
*nodding head in agreement* All the fuss so you endure another and it's just the same old wishy washy, sickly, Hugh Grant playing the same old one dimensional buffoon :yawn:
 
LOL!:D Did you dislike it too? You've got to admit it's not the best horror is it? I think it's a very typical example of modern horror film making. All style and no substance, or should that be all gore and no substance.

And yep I believe it was a puppet, probably. Freddy Krueger eat your heart out, lol.:D
 
Anchorman. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for watching a comedy, but after hearing how great it supposedly was I was more than a bit disappointed.

Also, No Country For Old Men. The thing I hate the most about this film though, is that if you ever happen to say you didn't like the ending, you are instantly jumped upon by the "UR TOO STUPID TO GET IT" brigade. Very condescending and I really hate people like that.
