Re: Your Most Overrated Movie Ever
The original Star Wars is nothing special. For it's time it had great effects but the acting is TERRIBLE!Here's a confession: I'm in love with a man. What? I'm in love with a man... a man named God. Does that make me gay? Am I gay for God? You betcha. -

Re: Your Most Overrated. Movie. Ever.
It was an action movie and the action was done very well, that is what people were talking about. No one pretended that the movie was anything more than that.Originally posted by BlzerLet me assure you that I am a huge proponent of size, and it greatly matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)Comment

Re: Your Most Overrated Movie Ever
Damn, stole my thunder lol.
I like this movie but I still to this day cannot understand the huge hype and praise surrounding it...maybe I'm just missing something.
I think another highly overrated movie is The Usual Suspects.Patrick Mahomes > GodComment

Re: Your Most Overrated Movie Ever
I thought The Usual Suspects was really good. Not the best movie ever made, but I thought it was clever and well done.Comment

Re: Your Most Overrated. Movie. Ever.
As previous posters along with mysef have mentioned, people were discussing it as revolutionary, the movie of the year, etc, and it is still being referenced in popular culture on a daily basis. More specifically, it was discussed as one of the best action movies of all time with groundbreaking cinematography, and as a result it is vastly overhyped. I don't know where you were in early 2007, but it was definitely hyped up to be more than "an action movie where the action was done very well." As a result, the final product did not match the "buzz" by a longshot, leaving it as an overhyped, albeit decent movie.Comment

Re: Your Most Overrated. Movie. Ever.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! Just too freaking long. The wife and I watched the first one in the theatre and thought it was OK. We said we'd never see another one again since we found them too long and boring. We were talked into seeing the second one and walked out of the theatre half way through. I have no desire to watch another second of this series.
The Dark Knight gets my vote though. Made for TV writing covered up by massive explosions. I did think Heath Ledger was great though.Comment

Re: Your Most Overrated Movie Ever
wow, couldn't disagree more. i thought Shawshank was great movie. and as for The Dark Knight, it's a action/comic movie, i really enjoyed it (bought the blu ray).
my vote has a tie: Highlander & The Lords of the Rings(all three)...I am glad I got the Buell- I love riding it, I love the oddball looks I get on the road- I love people asking "What IS that thing?" I love flying into a corner WAY too hot, scared spitless and sure I'll never hold it at this speed- and hearing the bike whisper "Sissy!"...Comment
