Over-rated / terrible movies?

Get Out. I just cannot see why it is meant to be so lauded.

Good black man gets the better of evil white people - that’s always gonna be a winning combo!! It’s actually a pretty good film in itself, just massively over rated.

Yeah, get out was decent enough but nothing special. Certain films just come at the right time with the right marketing and backing to explode well beyond their merit. Get Out is one of them.

The Power of the Dog? Just didn't get it, but got rave reviews?

Taxi driver. Supposed to be this iconic movie, but i was just bored.

I loved Get Out, but it's definitely one of those movies you can only watch once.

Oh god yea I forgot about that ‘horror’ show of a movie. First one was a bit of fun though.

No Time To Die (2021) - The tomb scene is the only good part... up there with Die Another Day (2002) as simply dreadful. Spectre (2015) could've been so good and royally screwed it up at the end. The fight scene on the train is epic, from thereon it goes downhill.

Anything Star Wars post original trilogy (exception Rogue One).

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skill (2008)

Rambo: Last Blood (2019) and Rambo (2008)

I liked the first. It was... What it was.

It had some brutal kills though. People getting shredded from that Browning M2, and what a .50 cal is actually capable of.

True! It appears Stallone looked to take the films in a new direction, akin to First Blood, the rawness unlike Rambo 2 and 3 which are very much Action Man. I just felt the last two, Last Blood in particular, way OTT and unbelievable.

First Blood will always (for me) be the best film.

Should've included Rocky films in my Stallone rant - from 5 onwards; all go on to dismantle the great legacy of the first 4.

GlitterBalls · 13 Jan 2023 at 22:28

I agree, first blood is al also my fave.

I did not care for the Godfather, didn't like it and Couldn't get into it. It just insists upon its self.
