Most Overrated Movies?
what movies do you think are the most overated?
napoleon dynamite and superbad are given way to much credit in my opinion
" Avatar! Story was predictable. Effects were top notch, but am not going to watch a film, I I've seen hundreds of times. "nice
" Avatar! Story was predictable. Effects were top notch, but am not going to watch a film, I I've seen hundreds of times. "You have no idea how much I agree.
" The Blair Witch Project is ABSOLUTELY the most overrated movie ever! "It is overrated. However I respect the production of it. Well done to them. Around $15-20,000 buget and they grossed around $250 million. Gotta have some respect for that.
Another vote for Avatar. (Fern Gully, Dances with Wolves, Pocahontas)
I really didn't like the writing and I found myself laughing at parts I really shouldn't. 'I see you. I see you' Still cracks me up.
Also when one of them died and their crying/in pain scream thing at a really emotional point really sounded weird.
It was just the whole white imperialist guilt thing again but in 3D
" Another vote for Avatar. (Fern Gully, Dances with Wolves, Pocahontas)I knew how similar it was to Dances with Wolves but i didn't make the connection until now that is awesome!

" My friend watches a lot of Disney, and during the film he said it was just like, Pocahontas. "Indeed
Both are about about a Soldier that had constact with the natives in a foregin land and their contries want an element from that place, but at the end that soldier learns about the natives and the nature about the place, and that his countries would destroy all in that place just for that element.

Sure, they did great. They sucked a lot of people into paying good money to see that turd. I'll give them credit for savvy marketing and good luck. My opinion that it's the worst ever is from purely an entertainment standpoint. It was slow, boring and anti-climatic. It got unbelievable hype from the press; and it sucked so bad!

Oh dear me you win the internets and for your winning you get an assorment of cat gifs.
Bravo.
I've said before that I think Citizen Kane is vastly overrated. I also think The Godfather, parts I and II are overrated. Dr. Strangelove isn't that funny, neither is Animal House. Also overrated: 2001: A Space Odyssey, pretty much anything by Martin Scorsese.
Not that I think all this stuff is terrible, I just don't think they're as mind-blowingly awesome as everyone tells me they are.
Here's irony: I just scrolled through my satellite tv service guide looking for something to watch and a couple of the movies mentioned in this thread are on. The movies are; "The Blair Witch Project" and "Superbad." There's also another overrated movie on, one definately worth mentioning . . . "Titanic." Now there was a long, boring movie that everyone already knew the ending to. What a waste of time it was watching that.

You don't like James Cameron? Final Arrow is a very lucky guy :)" Inception Avatar (or as I like to call it, dances with Navi) Titanic Twilight . "
Most overrated films;
Avatar
Titanic
Terminator 2 (John Connor is an awful, awful character, no wonder the humans all die)
Superbad
Anything with Seth Rogen
The Godfather
Coppola's Dracula
Fargo (it's a good movie, not a great movie)
The Big Lebowski (Bridges and Moore were great, everything else was so-so)
Heaps more that I can't remember atm.

" Pineapple Express "
YES! What a piece of ****!
I don't get the avatar hate. Seems everyone is singling it out for having an unoriginal plot when... NEWS FLASH... every story archetype has been done to death before. I saw it when it came out and I liked it well enough. It can't be overrated if 90% of the internet gets a hate-on for it, at this point it might be underrated.
" Avatar! Story was predictable. Effects were top notch, but am not going to watch a film, I I've seen hundreds of times. "Lol. Yeah, it was a PG-13 version of Ferngully. That's all I could think the entire time I watched the movie.
" The Dark Knight is overrated. "So true.
@Sexy Merc said:
" Batman Begins was a much better movie IMO. "SO TRUE
" @Avenging-X-Bolt: I liked the movie, but people hype it up too much. Batman Begins was a much better movie IMO. "
I agree, Batman Begins has the better action sequences and dialogue in it, I felt The Dark Knight dragged on a bit in some places.
Personally I think the Harry Potter movies are generally overhyped, they're ok, just not as great as everyone says they are
