Overrated movie you've ever seen?

[TheNinja]

Babel . Awful movie. Awful shakey camera filming.

 

[nick jacoby]

what a waste of film. At least we learned Tarantino have a fetish about sucking black men.

Inglorious Bastards has always been one of my favorite movies and I was excited for Hateful Eight. It just didn't do it for me. I found it kind of boring tbh.

 

[K-Bag]

Titanic

 

[wufabufa]

Big Fish
Both Kill Bill movies
Brazil
A lot of Wes Anderson's films
Step Brothers
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

 

[Vegeta]

Dark Knight

Best movie ever.
Whats wrong with you?

 

[ChickenBrother]

Titanic..
Avatar as well.
Also Star Wars.

I have to disagree - I think all of those movies were great.

But I'll give you that Avatar wasn't as good as the hype. CGI was top notch but the plot and acting wasn't all that.

It's biggest drawback was taking itself too seriously - would have been more effective if it had some intentionally campy moments, like Star Wars did. Star Wars EP 4 created memorable, iconic characters: after it came out everyone knew who Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo were.

Even though I liked the movie, I can't name a single character from Avatar. Maybe... Jake Sully?

Anything by Tarantino.

“ (...) I’m continually questioned about Quentin Tarantino, who I think is a fatuous child. I think Reservoir Dogs is garbage and the forty minutes of Pulp Fiction that I saw is most excruciatingly naive shtick, boring tedium that I’ve ever endured. I stand outside popular culture.” - James Ellroy

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Seven Samurai
The LOTR Trilogy
Terminator 2
Apocalypse Now
Dr Strangelove
The Dark Knight Rises
To Kill a Mockingbird

Sorry I had to put more than 1.

Preach on.

I got hated on because I thought Pulp Fiction sucked. To me, Tarantino is like a modern day Andy Warhol Campbell's soup can director. He makes things that suck. But they're so out there and "edgy" that hipsters think they're awesome and critics and the public consensus fall in line.

I did like the Kill Bill movies though, but that could be because it was intentionally more over he top, and I'm a fan of the 70's kung fu movie source material it drew from.

am i the only one that likes the Mark Decascos/Kadeem Harisson/Britany Murphy Drive, over the newer Refn one?

Pulp Fiction is hardly a difficult arty film, its a bit meta and makes a lot of cultural references but its a piece of quite straight forward entertainment, gangsters doing cool gangster shit with cool music and a bit of a morality play mixed in.

The ironic thing is that actually it was the film many viewed as shooting down the grander artier scene in European cinema when it beat Three Colours Red at Cannes.

I never said it was an arty film. I compared it to Andy Warhol and his art deco Campbell's soup cans. Everyday objects showcased as art.

I'd describe Pulp Fiction as a "crass" movie. It has a lot of lowbrow elements, themes and references borrowed from lowbrow sources. At the time critics thought it was groundbreaking because of the flashback, flashforward sequences and apparently the characters really resonated with some viewers.

I didn't agree with the critics then, and I still don't but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Clueless, its overrated, not that good

 

[MoneyGun]

No Country for Old Men

Fuck you, that movie is great.

 

[AtomicPanther]

No Country for Old Men is great, blows Pulp Fiction outta the water.

Mine is Blair Witch. I remember when it came out, people were saying it's the scariest movie ever. I thought it was boring. Only thing that could've redeemed it would be if one of the guys shot the annoying girl.

 

[Hitman81]

I like it but I'd put NCFOM in the overrated category.
