Movies you hate or think are overrate that everyone else loves.

[Cyrusbales]

To be honest, I don't like such Stanley Kubrick classics as 2001: A Space Odyssey and while I don't deny that his adaptation of The Shining is scary as Hell, there's a kind of... I dunno, "wordiness" or long-windedness to his directorial style that just bugs the Hell out of me.

I don't like The Man Who Fell To Earth or Requiem for a Dream either.I nearly threw up watching those movies.

I personally love 2001 and the shining, but I fuly understand why people don't like them, however Kubriks best work is BARRY LYNDON which is superb, and well worth a watch, it's a period drama which is generally the wosrt genre for me, but this is one of the best films ever made!

Napoleon Dynamite does nothing but anger me. That's probably at the top of my list.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I can't even bring myself to consider watching Napoleon Dynamite; nothing about it sounds the least bit appeaing.

i hated the Matrix trilogy (sorry but i did)

You know I might as come out and say this:

Spoiler

Animal House sucked except for Belushi.

Most people seem to have hated the sequels... sadly.

The Exorcist - I don't hate it. It think it's incredibly overrated. Sure, the spiderwalk down the stairs was bizarre and the vomiting of pea soup-like substance was disgusting, it didn't really scare me. The devil's antics made me laugh. To me, it didn't really take evil seriously. I felt that "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" did a much better job at that.

Blade II - This was much weaker than the first film, which I thought was great. I liked the idea behind it and the special f/x involving the new breed of vampires, but there wasn't much of an emotional investment in Blade, so I ended up not caring for him, nor any of the characters. The use of CGI was noticable in the fights and that bothered me as well.

That's pretty much it.

Are people really saying 30 years old movies are overrated because they aren't scare watching them nowadays after hundreds of ripoff ??

30 YEARS! I mean, think about it, how the hell could such a monumental movie scare you now ?

You should judge movies by the decade they came out.

actually you should judge them how YOU want,

Yeah, but I find it unfair. Let's say I had never seen the original Nosferatu (1922). I'd have seen the remake by Herzog, and Mel Brook's Dracula dead and loving it parody.

Now, chances are, I wouldn't be scare by Nosferatu. But dammit, the movie IS incredible. It has inspired so many horror filmmakers in the last 80 years.

Sure, it's impossible to be scare by something that has been the stock of parodies for more than 50 years, but you can still see why it was such an important work if you sit down and think about it.

"Alien" scared me and that's nearly 30 years old. The problem I had with "The Exorcist" was that Satan shouting obscenities through the girl and all of the girl's antics wasn't really effective at scaring me (only the spiderwalk down the stairs managed to do that). I watched the Renny Harlin prequel and it had the same thing with the devil shouting obscenities and degrading the priest. I wasn't scared at all.

Ok then, fair enough. I though it might have been because of the multiple copies the movie had ensure.

My bad.

 

[IronMan_2005]

Matrix 2 & 3 just plain sucked

Pirates of the Carribean and the Evil Dead movies are highly overrated, don't get me wrong, I liked them and they're fine films and all, but people make them out to be the holy grail of film making, which thye're not.

 

[thedeadite]

kubrik's "a Clockwork Orange" bothers me everytime i have to watch it (which thankfully isn't often)...mostly because it's one of my favourite books and i read it long before i saw the movie.

I honestly think it's one of his weakest.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

The Original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I'm sorry everyone i just watched it last week for the first time and found it to be rather boring and at the dnner table scene when they kept going in and out of on her face annoyed me.

Call me a dumb drooling idiot but i prefer the Remake and the prequel compared to the original "classic"

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The Matrix
Scarface - The most overrated film possibly ever.

Believe it or not i've never seen that movie all.

 

[*Dark_Phoenix*]

The Incredibles (sorry but this movie is boring and stupid)

 

[Chris Wallace]

I don't hate it; but I do think it's unworthy of the praise that's been heaped on it, by fanboys especially.

 

[Bishop2]

I loved The Incredibles, but you know what I think is vastly overrated? Finding Nemo. It was "meh." Easily one of the weakest of Pixar's filmography, yet it's one of the highest grossing and has the top-selling DVD of all time for some damn reason.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I liked Nemo more than The Incredibles.

 

[Cyrusbales]

Incredibles was better than Nemo, but neither was anything special
