Why not? I wasn't engaged by any of the characters so when the action kicked in I didn't care which resulted in me being bored.
I was also bored for the 3rd act of Batman Begins because I didn't find Ras a compelling villian. Compelling mentor, yes. Compelling villian, no. I was looking at my watching wanting the movie to hurry up and finish. Liked the Joker card reveal though. |

But when I think of 'overrated' I normally think of CRITICS lauding a movie and that movie is mediocre rather than the GA. |

When Peter gains his powers he becomes a jackass. That's the way the story go. Then he is taken down to earth again when uncle Ben is killed because he was being an arrogant ***.

It would be like if in Iron Man at the end of the movie Tony decides to start making weapons and sells them to the Army again. Last edited by Kahran Ramsus; 07-30-2013 at 10:46 AM. |

Yep, that's how I saw it as well, Peter was a douche until the death of his uncle and the talk with Captain Stacy over dinner. Peter is SUPPOSED to be douche.

Until Ben dies. In ASM they forgot that he was supposed to STOP being a douche once that happens.

Iron Man 3 is definitely overrated. IMO, there is no way a movie that middle-of-the-road should’ve made a billion dollars world wide. I know “The Avengers” played a part, but still, people out there must’ve thought it was the greatest thing ever to give it that much repeat viewings.
And I guess some people don’t understand the concept “When it comes to Superman fans, MOS is overrated”….which means MOS is overrated….when it comes to Superman fans. Not in General. As for TDKR, I don’t know how that’s overrated in these parts, when everyone and their mother (including me) either picks that movie apart, or acts like its complete trash. I definitely have my problems with that movie, but at the end of the day, I’d be foolish to say it’s a truly bad film. I do agree that this thread loses credibility when films like “The Dark Knight”, “The Avengers”, and “Spider-Man 2” are listed as overrated. It’s one thing if it’s not your cup of tea, its another thing to call it overrated. The worst thing is, half the people who call those films overrated probably have some truly mediocre CBM’s in their personal top ten.

You see how you can easily flip flop these two and most would agree with both. TDKR is totally overrated. Quote:

You can argue not respecting Stacy's dying wish is a douchy thing to do but the guy is a teen not a monk. |

Based on its own merits you can say TDKR is overrated. However, based on it being a 3rd movie and comparing it to other 3rd movies in the superhero genre the movie is practically a masterpiece.

I have learned not to care about the Iron Man 3 changes, i dislike what they did with the Mandarin but i hate the idea of now turning the Mandarin decoy into a villain that wants revenge, yep, turning the comic relief decoy into Iron Man's big villain. Go on with Killian, for better or for worse he is the mandarin, and he wasn't killed yet.
I think films like Amazing Spider-Man and The Man of Steel desserve their rating, and i know many people that like Amazing, i grew up with Raimi's trilogy and i prefer it but i disagree about it being a bad film at all. The Dark Knight Rises was good, but in no way Oscar material, The Dark Knight was closer to tat quality, and even then i think Slumdog Millionaire was better movie and deserved Best Picture of 2008. |

I don't recall many Oscar predictions for TDKR after it was actually released. It sounds like some people on here are complaining more about the hype prior to release than the actual reviews.
Skyfall was the blockbuster last year that some thought might have managed a Best Picture nomination. Not TDKR. |

TDK should have taken best picture and had it not been a superhero movie it would have. Anyway Meh, Hurt Locker has taken best picture and that movie is ****ing rubbish so who cares about the Oscars?

I don't mind someone thinking TDKR is overrated, just that they don't use pre-release hype and studio advertising as their justification. |

I agree that Skyfall was lightyears better than TDKR, and if any film deserved an Oscar nod, that would be the one.
