Most Over-Rated Movies Of All Time
 

As much as I love Martin Scorcese, I'd have to say "Raging Bull" doesn't deserve all the accolades it was given, and I was disappointed when I saw it, especially the ridiculous boxing scenese. Both fighters would have perished taking anywhere near that punishment.......it became like a cartoon for me.

Feel free to add your most over-rated movies you've ever seen to the list.

hmmmm, the punisher? lol

Napolean Dynamite

I thought Raging Bull was a really good movie.

I am sure people will call me crazy saying that "Sideways" was a bit overrated. I mean it was a good movie, but it's not as good as everyone made it out to be.

First thing that came to my mind too.

That makes the three of us :disgust

You obviously havn't watched this movie in the correct state of mind.

napolelone dynamite - horrible and boring
scarface - i don't get why people like this, its very unappealing to me
godfather - don't like mafia movies

the mask and the pet detective shit

The Notebook... most girls LOVE it, and I really just thought it sucked.

^These movies arent really highly rated. So they can't be overrated. ^


First thing that comes to mind is:

American Beauty
Deer Hunter
Pulp Fiction
Sideways

More Overrated movies are

The Pianist
Crouching Tiger
Crash
The Sixth Sense
Lost in Translation

I liked LIT but it was overrated.

No state of mind could make that pile of shit of a movie any better. Sorry.

Hehe yeah. Exactly the point. I like some of those movies too,, but like you said, overrated. :pimp

One of the funniest movies of all time

nods.....

titanic, hands down

All of Tom Cruise's movies

Without a question Titanic

Anything with Julia Roberts. She is terrible.

Open Water was very over rated IMO
Not to mention it probably cost next to nothing to make.

:disgust
are you serious? you don't have to like mafia movies to know that this is the greatest movie ever made. and Godfather 2 ranks right behind it.

It's on every single top 5 list ever. And Godfather 2 makes the top 15 on almost every list...even ranking 1st on the TV Guide poll.

The fucking matrix trilogy

It was entertaining you fucking geeks!

Really bad movies that are nominated and win a shit load of awards like Chicago, shakespeare in love and Moulin Rouge. The kind of movie you see only because theyre nominated when they're not worthy at all.

Those movies and Balls Deep #6 too.

Chicago I can't agree with you
Moulin Rouge was also a decent movie.

My choice is a recent one... Capote

Hilarious list.

yeah Capote wasn't that good

Even my mom bought it. :1orglaugh

I thought The Last Samurai was decent.

Titanic.

end of thread

I dont watch many movies it seems and I have seen most of these. NO wonder I thought i had add all these years. It's not that i just pick shitty movies. LOL

wow this could be a huge fucking list. overrated means must be rated an i notice a few movies being listed ie punisher that were never rated.

off top of my head :

crash
basic instinct
schlindler's list
titanic
spiderman
the passion of the christ
the lion king
the shining
rebecca
donnie darko
big fish
stalag 17
brazil
doctor zhivago

Lord of the Rings series

didnt want to take the time to "get it"

i wouldnt buy the dvd, but i thought Titanic was a great movie.

The Shining is a classic. Thats a great movie, and i think its underrated myself.

I watch so many crappy movies and Crash was a refreshing view. Liked it alot!

Basic Intinct wasnt about the acting... it was about imagining Sharon Stone as a naughty hot slut!! :) Part 2, eh, my movie buying power for that story went limp.

Spiderman sucked. BAAAD! Who'd they get??? Sea biscuit was more proper casting.

The Lion King was badass if you were a kid.

I agree about everything else on your list though

sideways, WAYYYYYY overated

Fargo sucked

my 2 pennys worth has to be

1. Blair Witch Project
2. The Exorsist
3. Titanic
4. Pearl Harbour
5. Superman 4
6. Rocky 5
7. Butterfly Effect
8. The One (Jet Li)
9. The Ring
10. The Grudge

The list is endless

Blair Witch was pretty good the first time you saw it in theatres. It surely didnt transfer over to a dvd release though.

Donnie Darko
The Butterfly Effect
Forrest Gump

Three of the shittiest movies ever made.

Donnie Darko is a piece of shit...


add:

Memento
Mullholland Dr.
Spartan
In The Bedroom

Ishtar and Gigle

haha!

not that i seen em

Mullholland Dr was shot to be a pilot for ABC Television. It wasn't picked up so they turned it into a movie. Thats why there are a million plot holes and a bunch of questions unanswered (unless you look really hard).

Memento was suprisingly good. Skipped "In the Bedroom" though I heard good things. Haven't seen Spartan since I was about 12 so I can't really comment.

never heard of it

so that makes you 14? :upsidedow

haha i was thinking about the old movie with the chariots....that val kilmer stinker didn't even cross my mind.

Whats the movie with Douglas? Old movie...chariots?

Common cant believe noone has mentioned Crocodile Dundee yet
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Spartacus?

there we go :1orglaugh

The Kilmer movie looked to slow and dark for me. The Godfather II is slow and dark but Val Kilmer is no Al Pacino.
