Movies you think are overrated

[jabbercash]

Now these aren't necessarily all bad movies, but just ones I think are very overrated. Post the movies you think are the most overrated.

Most overrated movies:

1.Leon: The Professional
-In my opinion this film is awful. It's poorly written, poorly edited, and the action isn't even good. The whole plot is dumb and executed terribly and the relationship between the middle aged man and a 12 year old is really uncomfortable.

2. Avatar
-The only good thing about this movie is the effects. The story isn't necessarily bad, but very poorly written and executed. There are tons of plot holes and on top of it that scene where Colonel Miles is in a giant robot and TAKES OUT A KNIFE is one of the dumbest movie scenes of all time.

3.The Goonies
-This movie is also awful. The movie is poorly directed, poorly acted, poorly written, and on top of it the characters are extremely annoying. In my opinion Chunk is one of the most annoying movie characters of all time. Every second he's screaming and throughout the whole film he's always screwing everything up. I really hate that movie.

4. Resevoir Dogs
-This isn't a bad movie by any means. I'm a huge fan of Tarantino, but this film has got to be one of his weakest works next to death proof. There are some classic scenes and likable characters, but that's about it. All of the dialogue goes on for too long that doesn't develop character or moves the story along, a lot of the camera angles are drawn out, and most of the story is predictable.

5.Apocalypse Now
-STOP PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this but whatevs. I am a big fan of Francis Ford Coppola's work and the Godfather Trilogy is one of the best trilogy's of all time. However, this film is very good, but is it really as great as everyone says it is? The acting is average(aside from Marlon Brando), the story isn't that intriguing, and in my opinion there are Vietnam movies that surpass it (Full Metal Jacket, The Deer Hunter). Not to mention, the film moves incredibly slow and can get exhausting at times. Again, this is not a bad film. In fact, it's a great one. I really appreciate the fantastic cinematography and well written screenplay. Though one of the best films? Eh......I'm not so sure it deserves a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes.

What are some films that are overrated to you?

Not this again.

There is no such thing as an overrated film. Subjectivity plays too big of a part in each individuals opinion to make definitive blanket judgements in the vain of what this duplicate thread is asking.

This thread is just asking for people to come and trash films that everyone enjoys. And the OP list is a PRIME example!

Totally this. Also, OP I know you're new and excited but pace yourself. No need to start every thread you can think of in one day.

You'll also want to check out the search function. You'll find there are often many threads (like this one) that exist that you can contribute to while finding a ton of existing opinions from forum members.

A Christmas Story

I see it as an analogy as corporate Americas greed and lust for material items even if it can lead to their downfall. It's story is disgusting and I hate its praise. Some little guy won't take no for an answer and causes a ruckus. I was so happy when that little guy got what was coming for him.

Which one Petra

There are so many & it has been some time since the last one that its easiest to just go with the flow with a new one. Merging new threads with old threads is not always the best thing to do
