ah no, she's been in a few humdingers. dead calm? the others? they were both great. but yeah, she's had her fair share of stinkers.

Scarface
Crash (it's good but not Best picture Oscar worthy)
Lord of the Rings (Good but not as good as it's made out to be)
Wizard of Oz (Maybe because I didn't watch it as a kid but I didn't get why it's so revered apart from the technical stuff)

Overrated doesn't equal bad though. With the exception of Scarface I do like these films. Also Saw and High school musical aren't really overrated, neither are really well liked that much outside it's teen target audience.

Um so a movie is overrated because of length? How ignorant. That's like saying a book sucks because it was 800 pages. Give me a break.

The Departed was very good and earned it's Best Picture win.

i don't agree with the length of the film having anything to do with my enjoyment of the departed: just have a feeling they gave scorsese the oscar cuz they had left him out so often in the past. there was a severe absence of oscar worthy contenders that year but i still think the queen was more deserving of it. sure i would have voted for children of men or the proposition.... now thats more like it. departed was an inferior remake and the work of a director long passed his sell by date.

Mamma Mia, i don't get all the hype tbh i hated it.

BBUK4LYFE · 15-07-2009, 01:08 AM

I pretty much agree with every movie in this thread being overrated except for Slumdog Millionaire. That movie was great. Probably in my top 10 all time.

Few movies that I feel are overrated..

Mystic River

Kill Bill series

Crash

Changeling

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Twelve Monkeys

V for Vendetta

There Will Be Blood

The Wrestler

Fargo (WTF, the hype of this movie was unreal, just utter garbage)

The Man from Earth (Probably the most boring movie ever, this is perhaps the most overrated movie to me.)

Most movies mentioned in the underated thread. Most movies that feature Will Ferrel in a manic depressive, tempermental, gay undertone ridden, usualy sporting role.

The Shaw Shank Redemotion is the highest rated movie on IMDb, but I didn't think it was that good..

King Gizzard · 15-07-2009, 01:26 AM

Depends on personal taste though, as I thought Shawshank Redemption was immense.

Jaws

Deirdre · 15-07-2009, 01:35 AM

Superbad.

Maybe it's just not my humour or something but I just didn't get it.
Michael Cera is the cutest thing though!

BBObsesserxX · 15-07-2009, 01:39 AM

The most overrated movie of all time is Twilight, I.M.O

Overrated by teenage girls. Everyone else thinks its average or just plain sucks.

Kinda agree with you but it was alright I guess. It was a bit trigger happy with the swear words. I don't mind them but there were like 5 swear words in every sentence.

Yeah, that kinda peed me off.
It was sooo crude.
Americans love that though, that's probably why there was so much hype over it.

Fight Club.

Good movie, but not brilliant. My expectations were too high I think.

setanta · 15-07-2009, 11:09 AM

It's still overrated

I've seen dozens more films with the same concept Which IMO are better
