Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

Re: My 10 most overrated films everCompletley disagree with Wall-E, it was a wonderfully simple film which was quite touching at parts, I know I enjoyed it (but maybe thats just me?)
Agree to an extent about Avatar, I think that if it had a decent plot, as well as the amazing effects, it would have been one of the greatest films ever
Anyway, just because people go on and on about certain films, dosen't mean they're overrated... Often they deserve the praise they receive!Last edited by TGBuble; 30-06-2011 at 19:03. Reason: Typo -

Re: My 10 most overrated films everWell, if you like Toy Story you're forgiven(Original post by y2k1)
Moon
Donnie Darko
Terminator 2
Toy Story (esp 2+3)
Inception
The Dark Knight haha.
I second whoever said The Hangover.
Urghh, a film I think is overated is 500 Days of Summer. I mean it's awful :/ -

Re: My 10 most overrated films everI agree, I found the film to be boring.. I reckon I would have been drawn in more if the idea of dreams and artchitects was expanded on.(Original post by @*=-+1!<>6)

Re: My 10 most overrated films everI agree with the Avatar comment, I saw it on Sky.. I got so bored.(Original post by IcedTea&PotNoodle)
The only film that i completely agree to be overrated is avatar. The rest are brilliant films although i slightly agree that the kings speech was overrated however it's a fairly good film.
I don't think the Godfather is overrated though, it's great.
I hope nobody says Scarface either

Re: My 10 most overrated films ever(Original post by y2k1)
My god there is a lot of **** posing as 'great'.
1) The Godfather-so ****ing boring. You'd think they would do something other than just sitting in a room around a table. So slow. The acting isn't even that good. The don sounds like he's got cotton balls in his mouth. Oh wait that because he has! Had to use subtitles to understand what is being said. Terrible.
2) LOTR part1-so long and ridiculous. Every character speaks in an exaggerated fashion.
3) Wall_E- The only reason people like this is because they are in some sort of mid-life crises and think that it touches their childhood in someway. In reality there is nothing here. Same with Spirited Away which is just a rip off of Alison in Wonderland and not a very good one.
4. Requiem for a Dream. **** me is this bad. There's not enough plot to last the 12 hours that this film feels like so they fill it with stupid camera shots. Film could had been half as long. Trainspotting wasn't much better either.
5. Pans Labyrinth. Just because it aint Hollywood doesn't mean that it's decent and original. So what if the ending is sad? Star wars episode 3 was sad but it was still ****e. Oh and that humming song at the end. So cheap. I saw it coming the first time I heard it. Such a cheap sympathy device. Grave of the Fireflies is FAAR superior.
6. Princess Monoke. I actually like Studio Ghibli. I really do. However, there is so much going on in this film and with so little focus that it's hard to care about how it comes together. Just because a plot is complicated or diverse doesn't mean it's great.
7. The King's speech. I dont have anything against it. I can't really fault it on any aspect. It's just kind of there. If this was on ITV without the hype, I wouldn't be able to distinguish it from the rest of the average films they show. It's not bad, it's just nothing to get excited about.
8. Groundhog Day. The morale of the story is really ****ed up but in an unobvious way. Throughout the film I just kept thinking what the main character did wrong to deserve such a fate (the day repeats over and over). The guy isn't a rapist, a murderer or a drug dealer. He is just an average grumpy guy. He doesn't use his knowledge of no consequences to kill anybody or rape anybody. He didn't deserve it.
9. Avatar. ****ing terrible. Never been so uncomfortable watching a film before. The 3d was crap and the plot and dialogue was even worse. Oh but look at the pretty graphics!
10. The Fighter. I like Christian Bale. Good actor. But the characters themselves just ****ing annoy me. It's like listening to a family argue in a resteraunt. Really annoying.
my top 1 worst lists ever

It's a fantasy epic, that's how they're supposed to speak.(Original post by y2k1)

You must be trolling now. Both great films. What was wrong with Trainspotting?(Original post by y2k1)
4. Requiem for a Dream. **** me is this bad. There's not enough plot to last the 12 hours that this film feels like so they fill it with stupid camera shots. Film could had been half as long. Trainspotting wasn't much better either.
You're only criticism is that he didn't deserve it? It was a gift if anything, he could do whatever he wanted every day without consequences. Then he finally learned what he had to do, and got out of it... did you not watch the end??(Original post by y2k1)

I guess you're not trolling now, everyone knows avatar isn't a good film, apart from being graphically pleasing, so it didn't really even need saying again.(Original post by y2k1)

Re: My 10 most overrated films everWhy Moon? I am a massive fan of science fiction, yet I found it unimaginative, predictable, cliche and mediocre.(Original post by y2k1)
Moon
Donnie Darko
Terminator 2
Toy Story (esp 2+3)
Inception
The Dark Knight
I agree with the last two though.
....................this should be good!
