Over-rated / terrible movies?

[IvanDobskey]

Disney Star Wars has always been proper meh as well

Fixed

It Follows.

The reviews are glowing and people seem to love it, but it was the least scary horror movie I've seen in years and I was bored the entire way through.

I thought it was ok, definitely overrated though and not particularly scary.

Im sure the Disney ones suck as well but I’ve only seen the first three from the 80s.

The kindest comment I can muster towards them is “at least it’s not Star Trek”

This thread is so pointless.. You cannot justify some of these and others you can, but only to your taste. It's like trying to justify what is the best colour and why.

Red is the best

Red is the best

That's nearly as bad a choice as when someone in this thread said that 12yrs a slave was terrible.
Everyone knows Blue is best.

Red is the best

Yeah John Malkovich is brillaint in it

I'd agree with most of the honorable mentions above for horrible films (anything by disney, last bond film etc) As for overated, I'd go with anything that's won the Oscar for best picture since 2010ish.

Not seen all best pictures but Coda was outstanding.

This kinda proves my point earlier. I know people love them but I absolutely despise the Kill Bill movies.
They're such corny derivative piece of crap thst don't do justice to any of the genres he was copying. Hate them.

Only one really stands out for me, and I know some fans swear blind it's like the best movie ever made, but I'm going with Interstellar.

I am a big fan of Nolan films in general, but this is the only one that I though was both sub-par AND terribly over-hyped. I know some people that have named their children after characters in the film, that's how much they love it.

Memento, The Prestige, Inception, and the Batman trilogy (especially The Dark Knight) are all WAY better imo.

Interstellar 9/10 movie, they dont come along very often.

The Godfather films. Grade A 'meh' from me and I like those style of films.

My favourite films are: True Romance + LA Confidential + The Prestige

Red is the best

Red lost the race though

Seconded, I'd even go as far as saying The Dark Knight is way over rated.
The only reason it gets the publicity is because of Heath Ledger dying so soon after it was released.

 

[Gunni Parker]

Casablanca. I've tried to watch it several times. What a yawnfest.

 

[SPG]

Planet of the apes movies including the ones from the 70s and the TV show.

Trash all them !

Nah, I agree with you.

Well, I wouldn't say it was terrible, I certainly wouldn't be listing it in this thread, I've seen far worse, but......

Overrated - yes
Average at best - yes
Would be in a rush to see again - no

I can't even really remember what happens, I remember them making a big point about the time dilation, where they spend like 11 minutes on a planet or something and the guy is like 30 years older. That's about it.

And tbh, that was the only part I thought was kinda cool, the ending was trash in my eyes, which pulled down the decent rest of the film down to average for me.

Yea ending was pretty horrific, falling into a blackhole and coming out fine lol.
Oh..and the stuff about "love" being some kind of force in the universe, yet if that's true then all strong feelings would be "hate" etc.
