    Re: Your Most Overrated Movie Ever

    It was mentioned once in an earlier post already, but I'd have to say that Star Wars: The Phantom Menace may be the most overrated movie ever.

    The hype that movie had behind it for years before it was released was unprecendented and to say it disappointed would be an understatement.

      Speaking of tarantinto- Kill Bill vol II. Tedious to say the least.
      should have been the last 20 minutes of vol I.

        I think you're missing the point with Wall-E. It wasn't supposed to be some HA HA funny movie but rather something that is a little more artful. I found the way the story unfolded especially in the first quarter or so when Wall-E was on Earth alone and then meeting ELY was very powerful in how they conveyed feelings and emotions with hardly any dialogue but rather with the use of musical score, great animation and the inflection in the voices of the two characters when they called each other by name.

        It was very much a tangible yet ethereal way of telling a story and was a cinematic tour de force IMO. I can understand why some may not have liked the movie that much though.

        Wall-E and Cars are the two Pixar movies that transcend the animation genre and were true cinematic FILMS rather then an animated film for people of all ages.

            I have slight complaints about the 2nd half but for different reasons. I understand why you don't like the film overall though.

                Cant Agree more.The Dark Night was a decent movie....however it didt live up to my expectations and all the buzz its gettting. As for Heath Ledger he did a really good job, first im a fan......so migt be biased.....but then i do really think this guy nailed it.

                  Training Day

                  Hear me out.
                  I thought it was one of the best looking movies with the amazing trailer and the awesome performances. But after watching it I felt like it was totally ridiculous.

                      I wont argue with you. Training Day falls in that catagory of films that are great when I 1st see them, but Ill never have a need to watch again.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like Jon Heder and find a lot of his movies to be entertaining, but Napoleon Dynamite was just pure, unfiltered ****. The film used to make this movie could have done something good, like a hemorrhoids documentary, and it would have been better than that movie.

                        The characters are overrated and just not funny. Anyone who was actually stupid enough to buy a Vote for Pedro tshirt should be chemically castrated, as to prevent the Mike Judge prophecy that was Idiocracy from coming true, as they are the first steps towards our demise. Words cannot describe just how bad this movie truly was, unless they are words of self defense in explaining why you beat the morons who constantly quoted this movie to death with your shoe. Just because something is low budget doesn't mean it's good, I fear those who found this movie to be good are mindless drones who were systematically brainwashed to do whatever MTV said.
                        Speaking of overrated, Idiocracy was a piece of ****. Maybe I was expecting too much but after hearing about how it's prophesizing how dumb everyone is getting I thought it would have some kind of semi serious social commentary but it was just over the top and not funny at all.

                        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. :)

                          LOL at some of these movies being mentioned.

                          People are still confusing "overrated" with "disliked".

                              It seems like this thread is starting to turn into "what movies you don't like".
                              Agreed.

                                Actually I remember going to watch 300 because so many people on OS were talking about how amazing it was, and it turned out to be a 2 hour fight scene. Waaay overrated.

                                But I dont know how anyone could think the Lion King was overrated, that movie was EPIC.
