Gladiator - I still have no idea why people go so ape**** for this movie. Its okay, but doesn't nearly deserve a Best Picture Oscar.

Napoleon Dynamite - A few amusing scenes don't make a good movie.

Superman Returns - I've never wanted to love a movie so bad, but as time goes by, I just feel even more disappointment from it, and I can't understand how anyone was able to relate to any characters in this movie.

Reason why Gladiator won best Pic was cause not much else came out that year...call it timing.

Wow some of you people really have no taste in movies..But I do know some movies that are overrated...Every Single Star Wars film! They ALL suck!

 

[StarWarsAgent]

I hate LOTRs movies. I just don't get it. they are so boring. Zzzz.

You know - it's not even that I think he's a bad actor. I think he's decent.

He's just got one of those faces that - at least for me - always looks like a kid. So anything that he's been in where he plays an adult - I can't accept him in those roles. And so all believability in those movies for me disappears.

The Aviator is probably the best example of this. He just looked like a kid dressed up as an adult and trying to act like an adult.

Know what I mean? That's why I liked him in almost all of his movies before Titanic.

Yeah but i think they did a great job of loosing the kid exterior in Aviator.He just holds his own in a really great cast.

I think the word overratted is overratted

lol

I want to like it but it's so hard. It has great music and direction and some truly amazing scenes but I never get past the first 20/30 minutes. It's excruciatingly slow and I'm not too fond of the actors either. I think The Good The Bad and the Ugly is superior. Mostly because it's so damn cool and entertains me every single minute.

gladiator and anything by tarrantino.

full metal jacket and apocalypse now also come to mind...

meh...

C'MERE you!!!!!

I agree.
I love the really good effects on the cave troll, Gollum, Balrog, Nazguls, etc., so I enjoyed watching them for that...Ian McKellan was perfectly cast, Viggo was good, overall they were an amazing acheivement as far as the scope.....but god, I don't ever want to watch them again.

There were many scenes that were just painfully reminiscent of a late 80's music video and his insane overuse of slo-mo made me ill.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I thought A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE was incredible actually.

 

[Sandman138]

Best movie based on a comic so far, if you ask me. I think a lot of people go into it expecting a thriller though. It's a drama and social allegory, if you want it to be a thriller, you'll be dissapointed.

It was good, but in my opinion Road to Perdition is the best one yet.

all the movies you just listed in your post before that you think are 'overrated' (because leo looks 'too young', of all the dumb reasons to think a whole movie is overrated) he never really played an actual "adult", the way you're implying he should have.

in titanic, he played a teenager, young adult at best, who won his way onto the ship.

in gangs of new york, um... again.. not supposed to be old.

in catch me if you can, he played a high school kid for half the move, for crying out loud.

and howard hughes (the aviator) in real life, if you've ever seen him, never showed his age. he'd always looked pretty young.

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I don't mind DiCaprio but he was NOT good for The Aviator. He didn't look or sound anything like Hughes, as Hughes was one of those man's man type macho guys. There was also about half a foot height difference, not that that in itself means anything but goes to show they weren't concerned about getting his physical appearance emulated in the movie.

Liev Schreiber would have made a much better Hughes.

I hate Liev Schreiber. His eyes pierce into the darkest deepest corridors of my mind. He knows...I like to to piss in garbage cans. I can tell any time I watch one of his movies, the way he stalks away and glares. HE KNOWS WHAT NOBODY ELSE KNOWS!!
