I thought Reservoir Dogs was a pile of crap.



I literally fell asleep to this film.

In an iMax.


I really thought the originals were boring, never seen the new one

Well, don't :biggrin:
I know I'm wrong, but Apocalypse now. I so wanted to like it as it's by a brilliant director and I love Marlon Brando and Heart of Darkness too, but I found it so so dull. I did watch the Redux version though - it was about three hours long :/

Well, Avatar was immediately on my mind when I saw the thread title but I think I'd agree with nearly every movie listed on here.

I'm only here on the lookout for anyone who dares to say Shawshank Redemption. There's always one..........



It's the most overrated movie I have ever known without a shadow of a doubt.

I automatically knock 4 points off my estimate of a persons IQ if they think this is a great film.


(That may not seem much but, to put it in context,reading the Sun is just -2,voting -3,being left wing -3,supporting Chelsea or Man Utd -4 and doing the lottery -5.)

I think perhaps the best critique of it was given by Darren brown in one of his books.

I'd already come to the same conclusion and was very pleased to see a more intelligent and artistic person 'voice' my very thoughts.Id thought I was on my own.


I'd like to try and find the book and give his thoughts as he did it far better than I ever could.

But it could take a day or so as I have over 2000 books and am very disorganised:frown:

Ha,I'm still getting used to the idea that you can find anything online as I'm old:smile:


You can easily find his opinion on the movie.

As I said,he puts it far better I would.

Well I guess it's fortunate that the only other category I fall under is voting then. Liverpool 4 lief.

I simply do not understand how anyone can dislike that film. It's unbelievable. The only other film that got to me as much was black hawk down (another great film).
