 Topic: Most overhyped movies.

More fun. How many movies have you heard are the dogs bollocks...watched them and thought....what the f&^%.
Well heres the thing to get it of your mind.
Mine are ......Titanic...the worst acing Di Caprio will ever do and the blue whale stuck on the wood (sorry it's Winslett { i need a more important husband than i do now}) A romper of a piece of bollocks ever...much better movies with crappy graphics than this one, my fvourite has Kenneth More in it.
Silence of the Lambs...where to start.....If oly Hopkins ahd watched brian Cox play Lector this might not have been so comical.
The Memphis Belle...stuff historical fact let's make it up as we go along....especially the ending...........
Shaun of the Dead.........what was this piece of turkey all about.....still waiting for a laugh.
Then teh Austin Powers trilogy....how garbage can a man get........................sheer undiluted crap.
Rob Roy....not one accent worth a f**k belonging to Scotland....why are Scots accents all badly done.
So people have a gripe....and if you think this is negativity...this site is not big enough for the positives...Aliens to Ben Hur, It's a Wonderful Life to 2001...so many great movies...but so many worse.....tell me your bad movies.
Oh yeah The Great Escape....i could watch that ever day for life.

for me it would be Wayne's World, Ray, and Gladiator was OK but winning best picture over Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon was a crime

Avatar, anybody? That movie was so wrapped up in its visual effects that it forgot to add a plot, script, and characters. Granted, it was a cool 3D experience....although Roger Dean should be getting royalties.

ANY movie that's based on a MARVEL comic; yes, including the Spiderman movies.

Donnie Darko is atrocious I don't understand what people like about it.
American Beauty is really overrated, and The Godfather as well.
I just saw Goodfellas because I was convinced I wouldn't like it. I really enjoyed it, but I would still say it's overrated. So much damn voiceover.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks The Godfather is fairly overrated.

Any film that is supposed to be the best film in the world is overrated

Plus Avatar looks atrocious as well but I haven't seen it, so I cannot comment.
James Cameron isn't very good though. I don't much like Terminator either.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was nonsense.
The Godfather is pretty f**king great. However, I didn't enjoy Part II that much so I guess that was overhyped. I've seen parts of Titanic and Donnie Darko and they were awful, so I guess that counts.

I have never sat through any of the Godfather films- every part I see is fairly slow and boring.
Here is a HUGE one:
SCARFACE-
Terrible.

I have more trouble with explosions. Hence why I dislike Terminator. It's a completely pointless film.

How about Star Wars, Episode 1?
I don't know about Avatar, none of us have ever seen anything like that- visually speaking, of course

It's still a good movie. I've just seen so many that absolutely dominate it.
Forgot to mention Edward Scissorhands and everything Tim Burton has done.
