Most overhyped movies.

I'm in the same generation, and I love slow movies. I'm a big fan of the Coen brothers, for example. Have you seen No Country For Old Men?

Baldjean, I'm 31, I love 2001, I love many slow films, I hate most blockbusters.... I think your theory has failed.

I can even understand why someone would not love it. Why can't you?

I was born in 1990 so I will agree with you.

The one that comes to mind right now would have to be The Hangover

I was told it was a funny movie, but all it turned out to be was 3 guys yelling "oh F***! We are so F***ed! What happened last night?!"

I agree. Age or generation doesn't have much to do with taste.

I agree. It was good, but nowhere near as much as the hype led me to believe.

There are about a thousand films to mention but, I will spare everyone of that. Almost every film that I see must include today's lingo in the script. Unfortunately this is not a indication that you are watching a timeless film. Today's camera work is truly annoying. Little Children was an okay movie as it didn't include any of the lame concepts I've mentioned. The story drags a bit but at least I didn't have to hear......Gotcha, dude you rock, hello?, etc. The 70's and 80's were annoying too. Every so often, along comes a film which does not include that most un-enjoyable recipe. Bio films on rock music are the most annoying. The film on Miles Davis includes interviews with people discussing his relationships with women. How wonderful. Who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. How about if we stick to specifically the detailed aspects of his music and not the circus. The bio on Woodstock is not a very good representation of what the 60's was all about. Interviews with people who rolled and pee pee in the mud at the festival. Many discuss the importance of the acts and how they influenced the future of rock music. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth to hear it all. Most of the bands performing there were already washed up by early 69'. The newly formed Santana were fine but the acts that hailed from 1967 were pretty awful at that point in time. If anything, Woodstock was the downfall of rock music as it motivated promoters to place bands into stadiums while dumping sugar all over the music and the dress code of the 70's. How sad.

Yeah... The Godfather was overrated, but it's good, if you put in the mood and rythum of that particular time... we are too much involved on the fast scene edition, but well, for me, Pearl Harbor and Gladiatior are the most overrated movies and are pure crap... happy that no one have mention Citizen Kane because that's a brilliant movie, and deserves a great place on history, of course, I'm not saying that is the best... but its good enough...
