Critically Acclaimed Movie You Thought was Way Overrated??? - Blu-ray Forum

Nerdkiller likes BD · 05-30-2008, 11:06 PM

Y'know, there are some movies out there that have just been so overhyped, yet so underwhelming, but still manage to get everyones attention at the box office. I thought that I might do a thread where we could name and discuss about the movies that got more than they should've in the first place.

Same... I know for many people it was "incredible" but "too sappy" is much more accurate IMO

Rocky 5 is probably one very few people will disagree with

I liked 300, so can't agree with ya on that one. Haven't seen TWBB though, doesn't look like I would enjoy it at all.

OK then I will put another vote in for Titanic. That has to be the most over rated movie I have ever seen.

You really think The Lion King is over rated? I have not seen Cloverfield, so I cannot comment on it. I personally think the most over rated movie Rocky 5, where he fights Tommy Gunn. There was so much hype around that movie it was ridiculous. I loved the first 4 and Rocky Balboa but I could do without 5.

Rocky V overrated? It was universally panned by critics, so I don't think that could be called overrated.

Blue Velvet, Scarface, and The Godfather.

300, I Am Legend, Rocky 5, No Country for Old Men(confusing, boring, and way overrated. I don't know how people thought it was a great movie), Borat (very few funny parts), Blades of Glory, Lord of The Rings, Spiderman 3. I can't think of too many others now. I didn't really know I didn't like these many movies.

This thread has gone from most overrated movie to "Movies I Hate"
