What are the most overrated films that you have seen?
The Social Network is a recent one that springs to mind. Definitely not Oscar worthy in my opinion.
Also Michael Clayton bored me half to death.

the entire lord of the rings series
just...urghh
Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Se7en, maybe the Godfather but that's only because it's so highly rated, it's still a great film

Chinatown. It was good but from what I'd heard I'd expected it to be amazing.
The Royal Tenenbaums. Again, it wasn't that it was a bad film but it wasn't anything special.

To be fair to The Social Network it was good, just not as good as I was expecting it to be. Maybe my expectations were just too high!

Yeah, I was really looking forward to seeing it, it was a big disappointment
Oh and The Shining was a disappointment to me.. a lot of nonsense!

Really? I loved that!
I thought Jack Nicholson and that woman were utterly utterly fantastic in it, but it just wasn't what I was expecting.

Well, It's been a longtime since I saw it, I was pretty young too when I did so I think I probably found it more scary then If I'd been older!

Me too. Everyone was like "omgz this film is the funniest movie evarrrrr" and then I watched and I was like it really wasn't that funny. >__>

Did you think? I thought it was almost exactly the same as part 1. The funniest part was the pictures at the very end

Yeah. I really liked the second one I found it a lot funnier. Maybe it was because I didn't have people hyping it up for me? Idk I preferred it anyhow. :laugh:

Yeah, possibly! The fact that Bradley Cooper is in it does help the enjoyment also ;)

its no1 on IMDB because the site is overloaded with younger generation of MTV style moviegoers who have not even heard of films before 1990 let alone watched them

Or maybe because most people agree it's a fantastic film? :hmph:
Joelle.
29-07-2011, 03:06 PM
Most of the people who enjoy the Shawshank Redemption are older rather than MTV moviegoers, so I doubt it is number 1 because of them
