What movie is completely overrated in your opinion?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

In my opinion it would be Basic Instinct. I watched it a couple of nights ago, never watched it before and while it's not a bad movie, I found it quite meh.

I think it got the attention that it has pretty much only for the shock value and for the fact you can glimpse Sharon Stone's fifi for a half-second. None of the characters were likeable and I couldn't root for any of them.

Wife says that a German movie explored the concept better in the 1980s, but for her everything German is better so I don't know how much water her statement holds.

What about you?

I have to admit that I haven't seen it.

However, I have seen "The Age of Innocence" and it is definitely overrated.
I like Daniel Day-Lewis as an actor, but not once in any of his movies did I ever believe his character was in love; regarding love, this guy just can't act and/or is given shitty direction.

Man too many to name. But honestly a lot of the films that kept making sequel after sequel were overrated. Twilight, Hunger Games, Bond films, Scream, Die Hard, Fast & Furious, Batman, Resident Evil, Lord of the Rings, Mission Impossible, Oceans, Step Up, Star Wars, Alien, Xmen, Blade, Spiderman, Avengers, Pitch Black, Jaws, Harry Potter, etc have maybe 2-3 good films in the whole franchise and the rest just disappointed. Movies like The Hobbit, Shrek, Final Destination, Back 2 the Future, Jurassic Park/World (except for one) had several great films and were not a disappointment.

[TrueConfection]

I agree with all of those on your list (even the ones I haven't seen 😂) except for Pitch Black. I liked that movie.

[DizzyDesii]

@TrueConfection no im saying Pitch Black was good butt the sequels were not. A lot of the other films i named had 2-3 good ones in the series but the rest were bad. For example, Harry Potters first 4 films were amazing then it went downhill in my opinion. I still can't even get through the first LoTR to watch the sequels but the Hobbit was consistent throughout all 3 prequel films and i enjoyed it very much

[TrueConfection]

Oh! 😂 I didn't know there were sequels. Oh wait... Chronicles of Riddick? Yeah, that was lame.

[DizzyDesii]

@TrueConfection yes 4— there's Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick, Chronicles of Riddick Dark Fury, and Riddick

[TrueConfection]

😂😂😂
Too many! I don't like it when there are more than 3 of a series. They always take a dive.

[DizzyDesii]

@TrueConfection yep thats what i was tryna convey above. there's usually only 2-3 good films out of the entire series of 3-10 sequels/prequels

[TrueConfection]

🤔 👍

[Marie-Meh]

I'm ready to receive hate for my opinion haha. For me, it has to be Halloween (1978). I tried to sit through re-watching it as an adult but found it boring that he just stands there even in broad daylight. I guess the horror/thriller factor I get from it is the fact that he wears a mask and just stalks without saying a word.

Okay, I'm ready to receive hate from fans of this cult classic.

[D_Bone_Steak]

That last Top Gun movie.

I found it to be really boring as all fuck. But my bros were going shit happy about it. I watched it because they told me it didn't have much SJW stuff... so I watched it.

I was so fucking bored trying to get myself into it... the plane stuff was cool... but all the drama shit and love story shit... bored me out of my mind.

I am so glad nobody can talk me into watching that 2nd Avitar movie... there is no way in hell after I walked out of the first one for being so lame.

[JustinTheGreat]

The Shining

I know it’s a horror classic but I’ve tried to watch it several times and can never make it all the way through. It’s so boring.

[Kaneki05]

The book is way better as always.

[JustinTheGreat]

@Kaneki05 I’m not a big reader but I’ve been wanting to get into books. I’ll check it out

[OfDeath]

I think that is a generational thing. A talked to a guy on reddit who said he thinks The Shining is the best movie ever made. I don't agree with that at all but I don't think it's crap either. It isn't the same vibe as a slasher. It is about a man slowly going insane as he is consumed by a supernatural entity which is a place rather than a thing or a creature. If that doesn't appeal to you, you'll naturally find it boring.

It is also quite dated. That's why I think it is a generational thing.

[JustinTheGreat]

@OfDeath yeah older movies usually move a lot slower than new movies. Which usually I don’t mind, I like a lot of older movies. I like the concept of this movie but i feel like it just drags on and nothing happens for majority of it

[Kaneki05]

In the book the house is more a creature it drives him to feed it like other previous guests. In fact it's theorised it could be IT but that's mostly what King writes about is a creature that feeds off fear or something half his stories you can just saw it was IT with it making sense. But tbh I love this and remember his books are in the same universe.
That's what mostly attracts me to his books. The films however are very hit or miss and often don't do what the book did. I think the shinning ending in the film is somewhat better but other than that yeah the book.

[OfDeath]

I onow what you mean. It is quite a slow burn.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Avatar. Complete waste of time. Black Panther as well.

I must admit though those movies are meant for kids and young teens and not adults like myself so that's why I think they suck bad.

[DizzyDesii]

Glad im not alone. One was way too long despite creative and the other had such potential with its great soundtrack/plot/actors but was just not that interesting of a film overall in comparison to his cameo in Civil War. I didn't care to see a sequel for Avatar nor BP. Then i watch Wakanda Forever and its even worse but this time no great soundtrack and a very botched plot

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@DizzyDesii: Its because you're an adult, and not 10 or 13 years old. They think those movies are awesome to their 10 year old minds. LOL

[Quackthulu2]

Citizen Kane boring as fuck movie about a billionaire and how hard his life must have been… and also something about a sled which was actually a euphemism for the clitoris.

[exitseven]

I would say Titanic but I still haven't seen it.

[TrueConfection]

You'll love it! It's actually a great movie. Way better than Die Hard. 😋

[DizzyDesii]

Like avatar, Titanic was way too long. Only good part was where the ship starts to sink and then the dumbass ending death ruined even that for me. I dont think he should be in a rush to see it

[exitseven]

@TrueConfection die Hard is a classic that gets better with age.

[DizzyDesii]

I didn't diss Die Hard. Im dissing some of its sequels. I liked the first Die Hard, parts of the one with Samuel and all of the one with Timothy Olyphant. But the other 2 (part 2 and part 5) were not good in my opinion

[DizzyDesii]

Sorry thought this was under my opinion because i mentioned Die Hard too

[TrueConfection]

@DizzyDesii It was a joke going back over a year ago. 😉

[AmandaYVR]

• Avatar (s)
• A. I. Artificial Intelligence
• I. Robot

These are my most-hated movies. You can't even pay me to watch them.

[Tstrbrainer]

Why avatar?

[Anonymous]

Citizen Kane.

I have legitimately heard people claim that this is the best film ever made, film nerds rave about it but what they don't tell you is that this film is only really interesting from a technical point of view.

So unless you are in film or theatre or a massive power nerd you can live just fine without ever watching this film.

[Red-Blaze]

If I got to pick just one il say Frozen
The animation is really nice, but in the end the story is super meha and the song is nice, but there are better songs out there
Also try as they may, they can't beat the Lion King :)

[megabamse]

Midnight summer. It's one of the shittiest "good' movies i have ever seen in my life. Top 20 of shitty "good" movie category

[Kaneki05]

The exorcist. Want a movie that's boring and don't follow the tone of the book? And don't leave it with it more mystery to whether the possession as real or not? Then watch the film.

[Kessia99]

Everything Marvel put out since End Game.

American sniper

Lone survivor

that movie about seal team six

Anything with a gay agenda

[melanieeeB]

A few, the recent I can think of is the blue Avatar. Like yes it looks beautiful but that's about it lol

[AviatorTom]

The entire series of "Hunger Games" movies... totally overrated

[ZackBan]

Conjuring franchise. Just 2 hours of teasing with doors opening on their own only for a mediocre climax where rarely anyone dies

[Rockstarrrrr]

Apocalypse now... Nolan's batman trilogy... Her... The shining... The pianist... The Silence of the lambs... The usual suspects...

[Pohjolan]

The newest Top Gun. Its just a decent B movie carried by its soundtrack and CGI.

[Nikki1989]

Titanic and pretty much anything made by Disney.

[SteveSmith1985]

Zoolander (what? come at me if you wanna fight about it. That movie is terrible)

[Jay3344]

“What is this! A CENTER FOR ANTS!”

[SteveSmith1985]

@Jay3344 You know... Zoolander is so bad, that people quoting it... is actually funnier/better than watching its original in the movie. It's just... so... dumb (and I love the Three Stooges, Monty Python, and fucking loved Workaholics. I like dumb. I can dig dumb. But not Zoolander dumb.)

[Jay3344]

I just saw it when I was a preteen. So the humor was perfect for me…being 12. So yea I get it but it’s just nostalgia at this point

[SteveSmith1985]

@Jay3344 That right there is the most reasonable case anyone has ever made for the movie Zoolander's existence. That's pretty valid. I saw it as an adult... on the strong strong recommendation of people whose opinions I valued and trusted. (until the day I saw Zoolander). 😐

[Anonymous]

American Beauty. The only high point was seeing Mena Suvari's boobs.

[Jay3344]

Recently would be Dune. I was a fan of the books but the movie just didn’t hit for me

[Beatrix7]

blue story is such a boring movie to me liked to much by people and its not that good in my saying
