Bullet time was ground breaking! Name on movie before The Matrix that used it?

Transformers - Struggled to hold my attention.

Cars - Did not do it for me. Think films like The Incredibles much better.

Cloverfield - I think I have said my piece on this already. In fact I thought the recent Blu review on this site was way over the top in it's praise.

Star Wars - Liked it when I saw it originally, but now feels cheesy, so many people big it up. Oh and not too keen on the others in the series too.

Blade to an extent. Even some earlier John Woo. The idea was hardly ground breaking, although well developed, in the Matrix.

All the those shitty Pirates of the Caribbean movies. They are all terrible IMO. Just a big advertisement for Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom's cocks.

Spider-Man 3 - It didn't get good reviews to start with, but it was unwatchably bad to me. Just a god awful movie start to finish. A damn shame because 1 & 2 were so good.

Godfather 2 - Everyone says it was as good as the first one. Couldn't get into it as much.

wormraper · 06-04-2008, 09:23 AM

Royal Tenenbaums

Shawshank being overrated?! Those be fighting words!

Red: [narrating] I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Andy - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him.

No Country for Old Men would be a great example of overrated. But I get REALLY tired of hearing how good Citizen Kane is. That was a snoozefest!

Almost anything by Steven Spielberg. He's a hack.

It was beautiful to look at, but the movie itself wasn't that great.

Rassilon · 06-04-2008, 08:43 PM

Superman Returns. WAY overrated.
