Posts: 2,464 | I think he pretty much listed any popular movie from the last 10 years.
I suppose only indie films aren't overrated?
i'm gonna throw blair witch out there as overrated. it was ingenious how they created all the hype with fake websites, interviews, tv spots on sci -fi, but i don't htink the movie was all that. blair witch 2 was supa crap. |

Posts: 416 | Wow, are there any movies you do like? Definatey, Kill Bill and Kill Bill 2 for me. Quinton Tarantino in movies in general (except Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and From Dusk Til Dawn). Probably worse than his movies are every Tim Burton movie ever made. Superbad, Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin and other comedies, but I just don't much like comedies. |

I know what everyone is going to say so spare me your stupid defense posts. YouTube - Peter Griffin dislikes "The Godfather" | i have to agree. i watched it after years of listening to everyone talk about how great this film was, etc etc. was kinda bored. didn't care about characters or the story. but, i don't like mobster movies that much, so i went in watching it with a bias.
i don't really see anything special about it. maybe it was the first mobster movie to be done the way godfather was done? i don't know.
i thought the best movie ever is suppose to be citizen kane. |

Posts: 23 | what a load of bs. you've just named so many decent films bar juno. My only understanding is that you cannot have grasped these films and must be quite young |

Posts: 448 | who said the Harry Potter movies were good? I don't see how something can be overrated when its not good to begin with.

Posts: 1,982 | This thread is a ****ing abomination. I wish I could get back the minute I used to look at it; then I wouldn't have seen atrocities such as calling The Godfather, Requiem for a Dream, Saving Private Ryan and others overrated. A number of the "overrated" movies mentioned here pushed the boundaries of cinema and either some of you don't see how or you just don't care. Either way, this thread is complete and utter -- FAIL |

| | | I think its just a matter of taste really. Myself for one, hate gangster movies. Gangsters are poofs anyway. Anyone can point a pistol and pull the trigger.
I can however see the contribution the Godfather trilogy made to shape future cinema. But its not for me. | |
