    Yep.

    People are losing a sense of context when they are throwing movies like Superman and Apocalypse Now out there.

      What 'context'?
      Are you saying Apocalyspe Now and Superman arent rated highly or well regraded?

              Care to get specific? I dont see how you can think everything Clint Eastwood has done is overrated but I would be willing to listen to your reasoning if you wanted to get more specific.

                  Give some examples then? This whole debate about overrated movies has gotten ridiculous to the point where people are just posting what they dont like. IMO, for a movie to be overrated it has to be critically acclaimed by everyone yet you feel its garbage, listing a movie that you like but still feel is overrated makes no sense to me personally. Is Unforgiven overrated? Dirty Harry? Mystic River? Gran Torino? Million Dollar Baby? Maybe Im a sucker for Eastwood in some respects, although I never watched The Bridges Over Madison County, but I dont see how all of his movies are overrated. If you say that then thats like saying movies like Blood Work and True Crime are loved by many but are garbage yet I dont think Ive ever heard anyone say what a great movie those were and those are only 2 examples.

                    I'll agree with Million Dollar Baby. I'd put that in the overrated category. The others...not so much.

                      Nothing about that movie was all that good. All the performances in the movie were highly overstated expecially one of the biggest over actors of all time in Cuba Gooding Jr

                        Almost Famous is a great flick.

                        Indiana Jones and The Temple of the Crystal Skull????

                        Is that supposed to be Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Or Temple of Doom?

                          I'll second this one. William H. Macy (Fargo) was robbed of the Oscar because Cuba Gooding Jr.

                            I don't like the movie at all, but I think Cuba Gooding Jr's role was meant to be that over the top, like a TO-ish type of athlete. I think he was very good in that flick, besides that it was blah.

                                Agreed. Bad acting, worse accents and what, there were no latino actors or actresses in Hollywood in the early 1980's for the lead roles.

                                How people put this movie on a pedestal in beyond me, maybe they like the music?
