Most Overrated Movies You've Seen

[redfirebird2008]

explain..

8 freaking Oscars for a movie that shouldn't even have been nominated for Best Picture. It was an above average/solid movie, not a great one. That enough explanation for you?

Slumdog millionaire was overrated?

You must have missed the part where it won 8 Oscars.

Inglorious Bastards

 

[Christopher Nolan]

is it the first time that the academy gave questionable oscars/nominations...? i dont think so.

the other thing is that the other films were also not very good...

I loved the Basterds. Titanic.

 

[Maximum Carnage]

^ For my vote, of course.

The Wrestler wasn't even nominated and it was a great film. Benjamin Button and Frost/Nixon were both much better than Slumdog as well. I will agree The Reader shouldn't have been nominated.

benjamin button was weak. as a fincher fan it was a big disappointment. i hope he returns to his roots. i also found frost/nixon not so good. i agree the wrestler should've been nominated but i was more angry that rourke didnt win the oscar for best actor...

since when is Benjamin Button praised by a lot of people?

isnt a movie overrated when everyone is saying how great it is?

not necessarily, but in some cases you're right.

The Hurt Locker is the most overrated film I've seen in recent memory.

Pretty much. I still cannot comprehend it won Best Original Screenplay over Basterds. I'll never see what was so Best Picture about it either.

 

[CLARKY]

Dark Knight. Most Tarantino movies.

I agree, Basterds shoulda won Screenplay (and probably Picture too).

After today, I would say Robin Hood (R. Crowe version).
MSN had it at a 97 of 100. By comparison, IronMan2 was listed as a 57.

The movie was a boring crapfest.

There Will Be Blood. I pretty much only saw it for the wildly popular "I. Drink. Your. MILKSHAKE!" meme but the rest of movie was...fine but blown out of proportion IMO.

I hate to say it but... Let the Right One In. It was a good movie, but the extremely slow pace kind of killed it for me.

transformers 1 & 2
batman begins
IronMan 2

 

[Gilpesh]

Iron Man 2 is far from overrated.

 

[That-Guy]

How is Transformers 2 overrated? I thought that movie was universally hated by most critics and fans (as it should be)? Hell, even Shia LaBouef just said it sucked.

 

[kane9321]

Also...the hurt locker

 

[Prison Mike]

Avatar is probably the most overhyped/overrated movie I have ever seen in my life EVER!
