What's the most Overrated film ever?

**Strife** · 02-18-2004, 09:31 AM

I wouldn't include American Beauty in that list

**eroswebmaster** · 02-18-2004, 09:32 AM

**123Jason** · 02-18-2004, 09:36 AM

I also liked American Beauty....however...I couldn't stand
AI wish I would have walked out on that one. And I know a lot of people will disagree with me...but I think the American Pie movies...although funny...were way over-rated. Too much hype before-hand leads to a let down if you don't find it side-splitting. Also hated The Hulk.

**axelcat** · 02-18-2004, 09:38 AM

Dude American Beauty and vanilla sky are awsome movies take them off your list.

Now for my big fat greek wedding thats the one thats overrated

**DrThorsen** · 02-18-2004, 09:40 AM

Pirates of the Carribean. Depp was great, but no better than a Keith Richards interview and the rest of the movie was Disney-schlock.

**mindoza** · 02-18-2004, 09:40 AM

i am going to agree with jason on the whole American Pie thing...two others that nobody agrees with me are Silence of the Lamb and Titanic

I gotta agree with you about American Pie... It was like all the funny parts were in the commercials. Skip the movie watch the teasers~

Most Over Rated Film...

Godzilla...
Pearl Harbour...
Independance Day
MIB 2

**SykkBoy** · 02-18-2004, 09:45 AM

American Beauty (sorry, I watch too many teen porn videos, so it didn't have the same effect on me ;-)) it wasn't a bad movie, just didn't live up to the hype for me
Titanic- how the fuck did this movie become the top grossing movie of all time? blech
Citizen Kane there, I fucking said it....I'm not a huge fan of this movie...I resepect it's place in movie history, but sorry, not even in my top 100
Psycho I realize this could help get my horror movie fan card taken away from me. Aswith Citizen Kane, I respect this movie's place in movie history, but it just wasn't "all that" for me...

**winter** · 02-18-2004, 09:46 AM

the matrix

**Martin** · 02-18-2004, 09:47 AM

Scar Face

**Pun** · 02-18-2004, 09:49 AM

I'd say either of the Matrix sequels.

As someone said earlier about the American Pie series, when a movie is hyped up so long before release it's nearly impossible for the movie to meet the expectations.

Besides that, "A Beautiful Mind" did absolutely nothing for me and it was ranted and raved about... I'd call it garbage and highly overrated.

Shakespeare in Love, no contest

**Roger** · 02-18-2004, 09:51 AM

come on, American Beauty was a good one. I even bought it.
Lost in Translation is overrated.
Amélie Poulin is overrated.

**strobi** · 02-18-2004, 09:52 AM

Lord of the Rings! hands down! and starwars I

**hova** · 02-18-2004, 09:53 AM

Pearl Harbor and the two Matrix sequels and T3 was a huge disapointment

**nofx** · 02-18-2004, 09:58 AM

Titanic, you already knew the boat was going to sink in the end.

**tayloryum** · 02-18-2004, 03:51 PM

i thought "there's something about mary" was overrated

american beauty was a great movie, and "greek wedding" was not that funny at all.

**Theo** · 02-18-2004, 03:59 PM

Independance Day for sure one of them

**webgurl** · 02-18-2004, 04:00 PM

harry potter

**AmeliaG** · 02-18-2004, 04:02 PM

Boogie Nights had one great scene and that is it.

Oh no.

Now you spoiled the plot for all of us.

**volante** · 02-18-2004, 04:14 PM

Austin Powers. Complete and utter shite.

And the next fucker in LA who asks me to do an Austin Powers impression just because I'm English gets a good kicking

I didn't say they were bad movies, I said they were over rated movies.

Boondock Saints and Escape from New York, however, are bad.

**Ic3m4nZ** · 02-18-2004, 04:17 PM

Titanic , it's way overated and the Celine Dion songs in it sucks

**ldinternet** · 02-18-2004, 04:18 PM

Equinox, Boondock Saints was boring and stale.

I'd rather put a pencil up my nose and bang down on a table than endure that fucking shite again.

I didn't see it, but that damn movie was everywhere! There was cat in the hat EVERYTHING! Commercials, toothpaste, EVERYTHING.

**Maru** · 02-18-2004, 04:19 PM

Hitchcock would have to be on that list. Several of his films aren't all that.

American Beauty is underrated if anything in my opinion

Okay, name some of your favourite films.

You've got me interested.

**badmunchkin** · 02-18-2004, 04:35 PM

What comes to mind are the last 2 movies I saw - Lost in Translation and Mystic River. Both are being nominated for and winning a bunch of awards - I liked the actors in both films - I shoulda liked 'em but they were both very disappointing.
