Topic: Overrated Movies

Movies that you think are overrated?

E.T. is the weakest of Speilburg's films. makes Crystal Skull look like a masterpiece.

Dances with Wolves winning the academy award is a major travesty because it doesn't deserve it.....far from it.

ET worse than the last Indiana Jones movie!?

Are you sure you didn't mean to post this in the 'unpopular opinions' thread??

I liked Crystal Skull for what it was. Sometimes, you just have to turn your brain off and enjoy the ride.

I've never been a fan of any of the Star Wars movies - I enjoyed the prequels just as much as the original trilogy. I found them to be good, but not great, much less worthy of the sheer reverence that some people hold them in.

I thought Gravity was the most overrated movie of 2013. A beautiful cinematic experience, but as far as movie goes not that enjoyable.

I guess maybe the Harry Potter films (and franchise as a whole)?

Now, that's not to say they're bad, because I enjoyed them enough I suppose, but I just don't understand how anyone could be a "superfan" (for a lack of a better word. You know, the people who would do stuff like cosplay as the characters for a convention) of the series.

I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of Star Wars, LotR, Marvel, DC, or Star Trek either, but there are parts of those franchises/brands where yeah, I can "get" why someone could become a "superfan", but Harry Potter? Nope. I just don't quite see it.

I just watched it the other night and thought the same thing. I wondered how a movie could win practically every Oscar except Best Picture, and now I know. The effects, the visuals, the sound, the music were all incredible; but the movie itself (story, script, acting) was mediocre at best.

James Cameron's Avatar gets my vote for the fact that it looks great but is really bland and forgettable.

I think the only correct answer is the Twilight movies.

Oh yeah, I'm so tired of JC's Avatar as well, and what's worse is that my brother is a huge fanboy of the film, so I have to hear about it almost everyday.

The Hunger Games as a series in general (books and films).

Blade Runner

Pretty much every superhero film.

Brian de Palma's Scarface is a worthless piece of trash.

The most overrated movie in 2013: Frozen
It was good, but nowhere near legendary

Juno was pretentions hipster trash.

Just about anything by Judd Apatow is overrated. Although I did enjoy his TV show Freaks and Geeks.

Agreed. How this became the highest grossing animated movie of all time is just beyond me.

why did this garbage get nominated for best picture in 2011?

YES YES YES! That kid was so weird and annoying it made the movie unwatchable. Not to mention Tom Hanks pretty much phoned in his performance. Maybe this is a case of "the book is better than the movie", but man, that movie was bad.
