Overrated Films

[northern_summer]

Was watching Lord of the Rings the other day, and came to the conclusion that I couldn't get into it. One of those films you are sposed to like.

Thought I'd come up with a Top 5 Overrated films...

The Matrix (all 3)
Lord of the Rings
Face Off (Travolta and Cage - gimme a break)
I am Sam
21 Grams

Thoughts?

[Mr Eagle]

2001: A Space Odyssey



Who the hell rated I Am Sam to begin with???

 

[northern_summer]

People rave about I am Sam. It is absolute dribble.

2001 A Space Oddysey is crap, good call.

The World According To Garp!!!!

The only funny bit in the entire movie was when Garp (Robin Williams) got his d*ck bitten off.

 

[P_D]

From a musicology perspective, I am Sam is awesome in the way it uses intertextuality and stuff

I guess you have to be a big whimpy girl like moi to see the appeal

Hmmm...haven't seen that movie in years, but I thought his wife was having an affair, and she bit that guys d*ck off when Williams (Garp) ran into the back of their car whilst she was giving him head...

Oh yes thats right.

See how much notice i took of my least fav film

 

[skylark18]

Another BAD movie was "Soldier" with Kurt Russell in it.

 

[Swarbs]

Spaceballs

 

[Ari]

Without any shadow of doubt the worst film ever made.

So bad in fact that my mate and I sat there laughing watching it on FF, it took about 5-10 mins to watch and even that was too long. This movie would be great if youre stoned or completely drunk at the time.

 

[Mog]

The whole Matrix thing. Crap. And anything with Gwyneth Paltrow.

 

[jim boy]

The World According To Garp!!!!

Didn't think the film was highly regarded, unlike the book.

 

[DIG]

As Good as it Gets.

Borrring.

 

[raskolnikov]

As Good as it Gets.

Borrring.

I love that movie.

For me

Blade Runner - booriing

 

[Syd Swan]

Two very overrated films in my opinion both star Tom Hanks.

Cast Away (how boring was that)

Forest Gump (just total crap)

 

[CURVE]

The Godfather Trilogy
Citizen Kane
Forrest Gump. (how could this sh*t win Best Picture when it was up against Three Colours Red, Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption???)

 

[Z_K]

Forrest Gump.

Blade Runner.

 

[superstar]

Fight Club.

Ridiculously overhyped.

 

[Karbassiyoon]

i have to agree with Forest Gump. dead set shocker.

 

[Fwoy]

Fight Club.

Ridiculously overhyped.

Don't think I've seen an overhyped movie at the cinema since Batman...the press that movie got was unbelievable...the movie itself was very ordinary.

I've been lucky enough to miss:
Forrest Gump
Titanic
Fight Club
Jurassic Park
etc...etc...

The latter two I have seen on DVD...

 

[WZA]

Face Off was the bomb yo.

Never say a bad word about that movie, EVER!

 

[WZA]

Fight Club.

Ridiculously overhyped.

WHAT?

I cannot beleive you just said that. I'm sitting here stunned at that comment.

Fight Club is easily the best movie ever made.

 

[Hoops]

for me it was The English Patient
and i thought trainspotting was overrated, even though I only saw the first 15 mins, i couldn't watch any more

 

[Hoops]

Face Off was the bomb yo.

Never say a bad word about that movie, EVER!

Is that the bomb the US government are looking for.
