I watched it once before i went to work at nights and i swear i was scared walking to work

the ending was the bleakest ending ever

[setanta]

lol. that's actually what i'm thinking about now.... if there's a worse ending to a film- wracking my brain to think of one. i mean there's other shocking ones but that one just left you numb

yeah, she's good when given the right role

[setanta]

ah yeah, i agree. the girl can act, i'm not denying that. but no- there's a coldness about her to me.... i just don't know what it is. you know yourself. everybody has actors they just can't relate to

[MR.K!]

Lord of the Rings
The Departed
Harry Potter (which i dispise)

[setanta]

the departed- definitely overrated. harry potter- they're ok... all depends on which one you're talking about. lord of the rings- agree with you apart from the fellowship of the ring which i think is a wonderful film

[Tom4784]

I wouldn't say the Harry Potter films are really overrated. Most have been seen as just blockbuster films really, It's only really the latest one where the critics have gone mad for it. They are good enjoyable films but I don't think they are rated enough to be overrated?

How on earth are the Harry Potter films overated? Some people need to learn the difference between ''this is overated'' and ''I dont like this compared to what my mate John thinks''.

[Tom4784]

Okay time for some definitions.

Overrated means films that were critically lauded, overly successful and a magnet for awards when it wasn't really as good as they say (But doesn't always mean that the film in question is bad). For example, Titanic is often seen as overrated because it's the most financially successful film ever and basically won every award it ever got nominated for when it might not have been worthy of such praise. So films like Norbit, Big Momma's house, Saw, 300, Harry potter in that definition aren't really overrated because while most of them have been financially successful they have not been seen by Critics or Award boards as good enough for recognition.

I'm going to get battered for this, but I think Goodfellas is hugely overrated. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy the film, but I feel that Scorsese has done better and there have been many other gangster films that I believe to be better.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

the godfathers... I didnt think they was that great... their considered the best films ever.. .too me their long and too much talk.... know I the horse head in the bead is classic.. lol.

The godfather one and two are great and Citizen Kane is an exceptional piece of movie making. Welles changed the rules as regard to how a scene should be filmed and cut. There were so many new innovations within that film on a technical level. And the amazing thing is it still holds up and retains its beauty....Welles was a genius.

The Harry Potter films are a bit overrated... the special effects are the best in the business. But they are nothing really... the books on the other hand are under rated. People still talk down about it (even though they haven't read them)

[hennessy]

Most overrated film in the history of films is Million dollar baby
