Most Overrated Films Of All Time

[Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms]

Hmmmmm, I loved Moulin Rouge. Even more than the wife.

Can I nominate 'Russian Ark' please? I usually have a soft spot for films that arty critics like, but it was the most boring hour and a half I've ever wasted.

 

[JJ McClure]

American Beauty.
As much as Kevin Spacey is class and Mena Suvari is fit, its just very very dull. Deconstructing the american middle class psyche my arse.

 

[zefarelly]

99% of what comes out of Hollywood is hideously over rated, a vast majority of it is absolute bollocks

 

[Bigtomfu]

bringing out the dead, nicolas cage and harvey keitel i think.. utter wank.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Lost in Translation.

 

[king Wombat]

Artificail intelligence - 2 of the best directors in the world worked on this and made it absolutely shite.

 

[tinx]

One of the films I dislike the most is Robin Hood Prince of Theives. f***ing terrible.

NOt seen Moulin Rouge but along similar lines I was forced to watch Chicago which was apalling.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The most overrated film of all-time = Forrest Gump.

Absolute sugary, sentimental Yank bollocks.

"Life is like a box of chocolates". Yes, and this film was the sickly-sweet coffee cream that you give to the dog.

 

[Northstander]

For me "Withnail and I!"

I just dont get the supposed hillarious scenes in it!!



*I did find Dumb and Dumber funny however, which shows my level of intelligence*

 

[fatbadger]

Citizen Kane.

Oh, and Titanic. I know everybody with a brain thinks it is totally shit - but it is much, much worse than that.

 

[onlyaboho]

Oh, another one - "Adaptation" with Nicholas Cage.

Toss.
Big time.

 

[Knightsworld]

Intolerable Cruelty

Catherine Zeta Jones & George Clooney

What a crock of shit.

 

[METALMICKY]

All the Matix movies. Few good actions scene, awful plot, wooden acting....utter crap.

Amen!!! A triumph of style over substance.

 

[chips and gravy]

The most overrated film of all-time = Forrest Gump.

Absolute sugary, sentimental Yank bollocks.

"Life is like a box of chocolates". Yes, and this film was the sickly-sweet coffee cream that you give to the dog.

Hear hear -it's CRAP

I would also like to nominate The Green Mile as the biggest load of tosh I have ever seen. I was pissing myself laughing at its god awful cheesiness.

Earlier films that got good write ups but were awful included The Abyss (the abysmal more like) and Outbreak. Utter wank

 

[fatbadger]

Amen!!! A triumph of style over substance.

But that's the point - a simulacra of a film about simulacra.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

You lot are a bunch of muppets

Artificial Intelligence 8.5 out of 10 - watch it again, oh and buy the way they are not aliens at the end.

Forrest Gump - 8.5 out of 10 - excellent film, whats yer problem

Titanic - 8 out of 10, trendy to slag this off but it is a great film

 

[zefarelly]

Titanic has reasonably good effects, but its a load of over sentimental americanised bollocks as a film

Withnail and I is pure class. the only person I've met who didnt like it waas a racist bigot of a chelsea fan

 

[nwgull]

Citizen Kane.

Oh, and Titanic. I know everybody with a brain thinks it is totally shit - but it is much, much worse than that.

Hate the film Titanic with passion, mainly because of the way that it portrayed virtually all the British passengers and crew to be complete arseholes, whilst all the good guys were American.

As for overated films, Dirty Dancing! I felt I needed to see this film at the time (when I was about 14-15) as most of the girls at my school seemed to be continuosly quoting bits out of the film to each other, particularly the 'come here loverboy' bit, wtf was that all about? I know it's a classic chick flic but it's still a pile of **** IMHO.

 

[Juan Albion]

99% of what comes out of Hollywood is hideously over rated, a vast majority of it is absolute bollocks

What a hideously boring and miserable life you must lead.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Moulin Rouge is a total chick flick. No self-respecting GEEZER would ever enjoy that pile of ponce.

Oooops... thought i was so good I got the DVD.....

Blair witch was awful!!!!! and Star Wars part one was the first time that I fought for a tciket and then left half way through
