I haven't seen a thread specifically for overrated movies. If there is lock this!
What movie was branded a "masterpiece" but you hated it?

Twilight. Nowhere near as good as people say.

Jesus is the only way.
It's OK to have an opinion. This ain't the Soviet Union you know.

Superbad. Maybe I'm just getting old, but really I thought the humor was kind of lame. Is this one of these movies you need to be on mind altering substances to enjoy?

THERE... ARE... 4 LIGHTS!

The Dark Knight. HOLY CRAP, just stop talking about it like it the greatest cinematic achievement of the decade!
Superbad was horrible.

It can't hurt but it's still pretty great without them.

I made an Underrated Movies thread, but I did not make an Overrated Movies thread, so you're good, Twario.
As for the movies I think are overrated, I'd rather not say. The Scorpion King, maybe, but as for the other one, it shall remain unnamed.

TWILIGHT!! Oh my dear lord, that's a crappy movie.

That's why you're still a kid.

I haven't seen Twilight (or read the books). It's probably a good thing I haven't seen it.

Overrated? Sure. Still hella awesome.

Well, I think it might be any modern "comedy" movie trying to appeal to today's adolescent teenagers. Those movies get so overhyped. They're also horrible.

I think all Pixar movies are overrated. Well, except for Toy Story. That's a classic.

Raylax

I'm with Badknux on this. Toy Story was great. The rest ranged exclusively from average to dull. Funny how they get really hyped and then everyone actually completely forgets about them altogether. I bet if someone asked you to list Pixar movies, you'd be quite far down before you recalled Ratatouille. Already Bolt is slipping off my mental radar, I was writing this post thinking that Wall-E was the most recent Pixar film.

Still, I might go see Up. If only because I've still yet to watch a 3D movie.

@Raylax

Actually, Bolt was just a Disney movie. I don't think Pixar helped with that one. Well, not the devolopment team, anyway. UP was a great movie, but I feel that it might appeal to a younger audience, and an older, married audience. Good story, though.

Ohyeah, forgot about that. It was still kinda ehn though. I won't say it was bad, it was just... well, 'ehn.'
Guess Wall-E was the most recent Pixar film, then

Oh yeah. All horror films made within the last 10 years. They are unanimously god-awful. I actually laughed watching some of them. The rest were so poor I couldn't even derive humour from them (see: the Saw series)

But how we measure if a film its overrated or not. Box office?? IMDB ratings??

If I say Baby geniuses is a bad film I think Im hugely overrating it cause its a piece of $&%$&hggahvfs.
