[Film] Overrated films?

[Easy 10]

Now there's a thing, i would put LoB as one of the funniest films I've seen.

It has its moments for sure, but it's never had me rolling around. I'm not a massive Python fan tbh, although I appreciated people have been stoned to death for saying less.

I get it in the neck from lotr fans when I say the first 2 films are as boring as hell and its all an over rated soap opera about friendship.

The end of the third film was the most boring part of all. I thought it had finished, then 45 minutes the end credits finally started rolling.

TBH I'm not entirely sure why I went to see the third one, given what had come before.

Yep, smeagal was tedious, Frodo and Sam was homoerotic, the orcs were just unwashed palace fans and wizards in silly cartoom hats wtf?

The Sting
Butch Cassidy and the sundance kid
The Revenant

I’d like to add anything with Sandra Bullock in. Crash, Gravity etc... awful, awful films made even worse by an awful, awful actress.

I know how you feel. It really bugged me when Aragorn and Galadriel got all heteroerotic.

You're right, I totally agree it IS a dreadful film. But I think you'd be hard-pushed to find anyone who rated it, so it doesn't really belong on this thread chap.

Another one I struggle to understand all the fuss over is The Deer Hunter. It begins with the most interminable neverending wedding scene, and the rest of the film is utter DIRGE, save for the russian roulette scene with the pistol. Another DeNiro dud.

And you can shove Apocalypse Now right up your arse as well. (Not you Pugh).

If only you knew the events of my day!

Alien franchise. Absolute pump

No not the first. The others yes I grant you.

Speed with Sandra Bullock was awful.

IT - the new one, haven't seen the old one. Thought it was absolutely dreadful. Crap storyline and went on forever.
LOTR - I have many friends that are obsessed, doesn't interest me.
Fantastic beasts and where to find them - it's fair to say I genuinely worry for humanity when people actually rate something as uniquely awful as this film. To me it was a bit like Victorian pokemon being caught by a grown-up Oliver Twist (now an H&M model) with the bloke from the go compare advert traipsing around. Staggeringly bad.

The 1st one was crap too, to be fair,
Tho, as it was the 1st book I ever read, it does hold fond memories for me

Always think that Brighton Rock must have had the world's least menacing criminal gang, even by the standards of the day

Lawd above. Its not about criminal gangs. Its about catholicism (as is everything Greene ever wrote)

Reading this thread makes me happy about the fact I have been to the cinema maybe 20 times in the last 40 years. Wait till you know you'll like it (then buy the DVD) is my motto. The main exception has been the Harry Potter series which was a joyful bonding thing with my son - with the books and the films (cinema) lapped up on day of release.

I struggle to think of a flm I expected to be good, saw at the cinema, then thought 'meh'. For my TV film watching, I guess that 'Deliverance' takes the biscuit. If I wanted to watch rednecks torturing to death some civilised folk I'd take someone I don't like, pitch a tent in Sittingbourne, and brace myself....

Shape of Water. Never Oscar class.

Not even straight to video class.

We’ve really enjoyed watching all the Harry Potter films with our kids, followed with a visit to the amazing Harry Potter world in Orlando last winter. Great stories by J.K.Rowling and fantastically executed in all the films which just got better and better.

Deliverance was pretty pants apart from the duelling banjos scene.

Forrest Gump. The entire premise of the film is flawed. "Momma said 'life is like a box of chocolates, you never knows what you'se gonna get next'". Total crap. Look on the side of the box Momma....

The Shawshank Redemption is the most overated film in cinema history.

It’s no more then meh.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Colin Firth has to be the most overrated actor of all time

with Judi Dench not far behind
