Fuck it...

The Matrix

The first one is ok, but doesn't stand up well against repeat viewings. It's mainly a lot of sci-fi mumbo jumbo, and the ending is just dissapointing given all the initial build up. I actually like the first half on the film, but hate the rest. The sequels on the other hand, are terrible and ridiculous, and have no redeeming features whatsoever. They pretty much killed the whole trilogy with their crapiness.

ANYTHING with Johnny Depp in it

most of his early movies werent overrated at all. they (for the most part) werent even thought highly of.

I think you'll find that 90% of Johnny Depp's fanbase consists of fat, desperate 16 year old emo girls who have a dozen posters of him on their walls, and cream themselves during every Johnny Depp+Tim Burton film.

Don't get me wrong, he's a great actor, but his fanbase is just ridiculous.

I think Batman Begins is a great movie. Much better then the Dark knight, minus Heath Ledger's preformance.

Fear and Loathing is probably the only Depp movie I like.

And yes, I see your point. What I meant is these days, Johnny Depp is just glorified simply for his looks, and not his actual acting talent.

No way, Batman Begins was boring as hell. It took way too long to get started, and didn't feel like a Batman movie at all. Scarecrow was a crap villain, and the ending was rubbish - rushed and dissapointing. The action scenes are also horribly filmed, with lots of close up jump shots; you can't see what's going on. The lighting is too dark, and that really doesn't help the already crap camera work.

The Dark Knight is a MUCH better sequel. A little overrated, yes, but I still think it deserves all the praise it's getting, and Heath Ledger deserves that Oscar, without a second's doubt.

This. I didn't really like The Dark Knight at all, except for how well Heath Ledger performed. It was stunning. The plot was lame and typical of a hero movie, and the part where they cut in Two-Face was just stupid. It was quite boring without Heath cackling about something or just being badass.

I second Moulin Rouge, as well. My girlfriend loves that movie and I fucking hate it.

Also, most Johnny Depp movies, most Mel Gibson movies, and many Adam Sandler/Jim Carrey movies.
Edit:

That movie had like one fucking thing in it that made me laugh. Besides that one time I just sat there and stared at the screen.

It is extremely far from being a great movie, in fact it's a bad movie. Bad plot, ridiculous characters, contrived ending, it's a teen angst movie with adults and slightly better actors. It dangles things like a floating balloon as if they are meaningful, the metaphor however isn't natural it's forced. And it's just boring; only film I've ever fallen asleep in the middle of...

I agree with pretty much all movies mentioned.
I know people are gonna jump on me for saying this, but I dont understand why people are fucking whacking off to Heath Ledgers performance in The Dark Knight. Dont get me wrong, he did a very good job. He is my favorite Batman villain so far. But the way people are talking about it, you'd almost think he perfectly portrayed Jesus motherfucking Christ or something.

I just hate how all these drug people love these fucking movies and I agree trainspotting wasnt that great, but ewan mcgreggor got down the role of the junkie perfectly so I gave that movie a reprieve. (that movie wasnt too bad)

I agree that like 95% of your list as overhyped. And many of them are just BAD films. (Moulin Rouge jumps out.)

But some of them really are great pieces of cinema, with the misfortune of making more news for their box office draw than content or having a truly obnoxious fan base.

For example, I think Nightmare for Christmas is actually a really good children's film. Corpse Bride didn't hold a candle. It's just a shame hot topic and disneyland took it over several years back.

And if you could remove the hype from Titanic there's actually a pretty solid romance film there- in my opinion, it beats some of the standards for the genre like "An Affair to Remember." I'm curious which films on your list you classify as having a bad following, or just being genuinely bad.

I've seen a few of your posts now, and I just know you're trolling, so I'll let you off for saying that shit about Heath Ledger.

PLEASE stop calling me a troll, that goes out to everyone, fuck that dead gay faggot Heath Ledger he's overrated as fuck, everyone loves him but tomorrow he will be another Paris Hilton, another Britney Spears, just another pawn the entertainment industry used and disposed of.

It's fucking insulting how badly the word troll is abused, it's insulting to the real trolls out there. Troll is like the word racist it doesn't have any basis anymore. It's like of someone comes around with an original, critical thought of something they can't be anything more than a troll. The deplorable nature of man.

Yeah, reality is this:

Jesus fucking Christ, I have no dope, so let me turn the heat up to 90 and slouch on the chouch smoking, no, holding lit cigarettes for a few hours 'til I think of some way to steal something, or otherwise make money to buy dope. At the very least I need to find some Perks to snort. Jesus, what the fuck do I do? What? Do I want you to take me job hunting? Naw man, I've got too much shit to do today! Yo, can you take me to Petsmart? I just gotta get some shit for my cat, yo. Yo, can you return this shit I just stole back to Petsmart? I know it's like $400 in shit, but they shouldn't give you too much trouble, yo. Got the gift card? Straight. Yo, can you take me to dude-man's house? He says he'll buy this for $200. He bought it, that's what's up. Can I get a lift to D.C., yo? There's this cool place I think you'd like. Yo, 5th and H, gotta meet a friend at Mickey D's(why did you let me drive to 15th and E, you stupid bitch). Where to now? Ahhh, shit man, I forgot that one place was closed today. Let's just go back to my place, yo(Got what you needed?).....Yo! Can you give a ride to this dude's house tomorrow? He says he's gonna give me his PS3, and I think I'm gonna sell it to this one dude. Can I get a ride there too, yo?

They lie, cheat, and steal, and are even more depraved in reality. Parasites in the truest sense.

A great alternative to the already mentioned movies is 'The Basketball Diaries'.

Also, Johnny Depp's 'Dead Man' is a great early movie.

The Dark Knight is top of my over rated list. It was a struggle for me to sit through it. The bank job at the beginning is cool, but everything after that is boring. Plus it's way too long, I thought it was going to end about 6 times but it just kept on going, and going, and going...

i felt the same about this! coz im really impatient and cant stay in the same place for a long time and it jsut got boring

Requiem for a dream: I hate this fucking movie. The basis for this movie is: You take likable characters so you feel for them. You let fucked up crazy bad shit happen to them for 2 hours. Then you make the bad shit drugs. Then you have an artsy new hollywood reefer madness.

Seriously, that's the whole movie. Yet people are all "omg best drugs movie ever made" on both sides of the drug world. The ones that do them are all "yeah, but this movie is ACTUAL art". And the other ones are all "oh yeah must be cause you're a drug user yourself". Bull fucking shit I know a shitty movie when I see one and goddamnit this one takes the shit pie.

I hate that artoffski faggot, he uses a bunch of film making techniques to play in on the pretentious/arty college crowd but his movies are still the same hollywood drivel we see everyday so the regular crowd likes it as well. Motherfucker. Pi was alright, but even then it's just an arty farty movie that relies on a bunch of symbolism to make it seem like there is some kind of deeper meaning. The wrestler is just a boring story that films from the POV of the main character alot. Real revolutionary, porn has been doing that for quite a few years now.

Then there's The Lord of the Rings which I didn't see untill recently: God these movies are boring. The poetic sounding dialogues/monologues that they try to pull off just don't work in a movie. Each of these movies is 2 hours of mumbo jumbo and then 30 minutes of epic fights. The last one was 4 hours long (well the rental I had) and I just skipped around 3 hours of it cause it was so fucking boring. The books were alright but Peter Jackson can kiss my nutsack. Also the gay fucking ending they just slapped on that didn't make any sense at all. The only good things about this movie is that the world looks pretty and that there's 20 minutes of epic fighting. That's about it.

I can't think of anymore right now, but these are the two that piss me off the most.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed all of the above films, but I enjoyed them nowhere near as much as would be expected by looking at their reputations.

:mad::mad:

I enjoy Charlton Heston. Lots. You're also saying Monty Python isn't enjoyable? :mad:. I will agree with you on 2001: A Space Odyssey. I used to have a high regard for the film, but after having recently (5 months ago) seen it again, I practically fell asleep. I didn't even watch it continuously. I paused it twice, and left for an hour at a time. The dialogue in the LotR trilogy is less than stellar as well. When I was a kid, I'd fast-forward to the fight scenes, and only them.

Remember, we aren't saying that these movies are horrible and leaving it at that (though some are). We are saying that they are are overrated, meaning their perceived quality is not equal to their actual quality.

300
every Resident Evil film
Cloverfield
Transformers
Titanic

and the new Star Trek will be overrated.

Taxi Driver

what didn't you like about it? i thought it was awesome, one of my favourite movies.

And yes, I see your point. What I meant is these days, Johnny Depp is just glorified simply for his looks, and not his actual acting talent.

this is such a stereotype, the majority of people who watch johnny depp films watch them because of his acting talent.. :rolleyes:

but mostly drug movies, typify the drug user as depraved, sub human, sons of bitches and generally have no basis on reality except for in the imagination of the shit ass director.

i know what you mean, but the movies would be boring otherwise.

Requiem for a dream.......
The Lord of the Rings......

I can't think of anymore right now, but these are the two that piss me off the most.

oh me too, i remember the third lord of the rings had an ending that could be passed off as a full length film on its own... so long and boring.

Slumdog Millionaire was a great movie.

i agree

American Psycho. It was alriiiiight-ish.

i thought it was good, but the book is alot better

ITT: Snooty mother fuckers. Goddamn it.

Then there's The Lord of the Rings which I didn't see untill recently: God these movies are boring. The poetic sounding dialogues/monologues that they try to pull off just don't work in a movie. Each of these movies is 2 hours of mumbo jumbo and then 30 minutes of epic fights. The last one was 4 hours long (well the rental I had) and I just skipped around 3 hours of it cause it was so fucking boring. The books were alright but Peter Jackson can kiss my nutsack. Also the gay fucking ending they just slapped on that didn't make any sense at all. The only good things about this movie is that the world looks pretty and that there's 20 minutes of epic fighting. That's about it.

I love love love Tolkien, so when I was younger, like 12-13 ish, I worshiped them simply because they were Lord of the Rings. Now I realize how they really aren't as great as I thought they were back then, but they certainly aren't shit, and I hate when people say they're boring.

The Fellowship is indeed slower then the rest of the movies, but it's all nessisary character development and back story. You have to realize, this man put around twenty years of his life writing this story, and *Peter Jackson had to compress it into three 3-4 hour movies.

The movies themselves aren't that great, some of the actors piss me off (Elijah Wood and Sean Astin) and the CGI isn't always the greatest (but you've gotta admit, Gollum fucking rocked), but don't insult the story itself. If you think it's boring it's because you simply can't wrap your head around it.

*note, I really don't like a lot of other Peter Jackson moves, he isn't that great of a director.

The fuck was talking shit about Godfather? Are you insane!?

This, I know that a lot of you are just saying that it's good but not that much, but in my opinion it deserves all the acclaim the movie has got.

I have to agree with 300, it could be a good movie if it wasn't so slow-motioned though.

Pirates of the Caribbean, is that even considered a good movie? I thought everyone knew what it is: commercial, braindead, million dollar-injected entertainment.

And as some guy said, Citizen Kane is maybe the most overrated movie ever.

If you ask me I would choose Spielberg as the most overrated director, the earlier stuff was awesome, but now he does mainly commercial blockbusters.

02-24-2009, 02:24 AM

Yeah, speilburg is highly overrated. A great director, sure, but not someone who I consider to be my favorite.

Speaking of Peter Jackson, the new King Kong blew. Some parts were great, like the giant bug scene where he left out music. Made for a great effect. But generally it wasn't that great of a film.

I quite agree with 28 Days Later. I like the first two thirds of the film, but the ending is absolutely terrible, a real dissapointment.

The only reason I'll rewatch it is for Christopher Ecclestone.

Are you kidding me? The last section of 28 Days Later made the movie for me. Without it, it's just a generic zombie movie.

28 Weeks Later was much worse. There's nothing special about it, just a typical zombie movie.

I remember when that first came out and there was a shitload of people saying how funny it was and what an awesome movie it was.

It was a terrible movie.

I came into this thread to post this, word for word. Everyone was like "OMG it's the funniest movie ever! You're going to laugh your ass off, it's fucking hilarious!"

The only remotely funny part was when he fed the ham to he llama.

All of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies sucked too.

I agree about Transformers and Rambo, and about some other movies people has said too, but my opinion of The Godfather stays untouched.

Wtf? Independence day? It was just some overly emotional kiss in USA's ass. It's the same thing as the Transformers, only older and with an American flag or saluting faggot every 3 minutes.

And if Stallone didn't talk as if he had a golf ball in his mouth, he would be tolerable... barely.

And as some guy said, Citizen Kane is maybe the most overrated movie ever.

We've already had the Citizen Kane discussion here. It is undoubtably a great piece of art, but the reason it holds the ranking it does has something to do with the fact that it was rediscovered by americans through french film critics around the time the individuals who become the reigning critics in America were in film school.

What were you expecting a stoner movie to be beautifully written with tons of twists, excellent cinematography, and plot loaded with symbolism? It was a movie about redman and methodman getting high and dumb shit happening to them. I think you were really expecting way too much from this movie.

Oh, and Haggard.

Seriously? Haggard? I can't imagine Haggard even being close to one the most overrated movies of all time. Fuck, I bet more there's more people who have never heard of it than people who've seen it. Sure, it's not even close to a being a great movie, but I don't think anybody tries to give it that credit. Maybe there are some CKY fanboys who love it, but it was jut an average movie with a few parts that were pretty funny, and I think that most people who watch it realize that almost right away.

...Really? Might be worth checking out if you like those guys a lot. But really, it's just a low budget film with all of them doing everything (well at least all the acting), you can't expect all that much.

EDIT: But I guess that proves my point, it really can't be one of the most overrated movies if a CKY fan such as yourself has never even heard of it.

Maybe you're just not old enough. There was a large, dumb following of high school kids and recent grads who wouldn't shut up about it when it came out, and kept it up for the next few years. It's an ok film, but it has plot holes and I've seen a lot of the devices before for so many people to talk about it like it was created by god.
