Re: Your Most Overrated Movie Ever
Braveheart is flat-out horrid. I have never been able to spot a redeeming quality within it. Of course, I have always hated Mel Gibson's work, so that could have something to do with my opinion.
The Dark Knight, while good, is definitely overrated. Heath Ledger's Joker is great, but many of the other characters are nearly unwatchable. Scenes without The Joker are simply not good. Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman is painful to watch. What is with the Batman voice that makes him sound like a death metal vocalist with ravaged vocal cords? It's not even close to one of the best films of '08.
Field of Dreams spends so much time prattling on and on about the "poetry" of baseball that I can't even tell if this movie is meant to be taken seriously. The line, "Dad, wanna have a catch?," is one of the biggest "facepalm" bits of dialogue in cinematic history.
Gladiator was an entertaining, summer-time action movie. However, its characters are very much like the characters of a comic book, with the clear-cut "good" and "bad" guys. The movie has very little depth, and how it won Best Picture I will never know.
I could spend all day listing overrated films, but I'll spare myself the time.
