I didn't see a thread for this but correct me if i'm wrong. What are some of the most over rated movies you can recall? These movies weren't bad, per say, but they definitely got more than their share of attention.

The Harry Potter series and The hunger games series.Way too popular and the books are better.

To be honest, Frozen is WAY too overrated. The hype was too big for a movie that was so mediocre. Disney has done better movies. I really don't understand why people think Frozen is so good. :/

>>2
>The Harry Potter series

No.

>>3

Definitely agree. "best thing since the lion king" ..yeaaahh no. Good but not that good.

>>3 Tru dat. Frozen was good but in the end it was just "good". IMHO I think Lion King is Disney's Best, but I could be wrong.

The Incredibles... so boring.

1. Nosferatu
2. Red Balloon
3. Trainspotting
4. The Breakfast Club

Hmmm I'll say the Batman movie from the 80s. Aside from the fact that it did bring a more serious dark Batman into mainstream instead of the campy style people were used to thus the film does deserve some credit, but as an actual film I thought it was kinda....eh.

Avatar. Special effects and CG weren't enough to get me interested.

Frozen. Haven't seen it so I'm probably being unfair but I honestly refuse to even watch it because people won't stop treating it like it's a revolutionary film which I freaking doubt it is. But tumblr loves anything with women in it that aren't sexualized so of course they overworship it.

Lucy everyone was saying it would be so great and when I went to go see it, it was totally stupid and unrealistic at all. So my dad says, "It's science fiction." So I reply, "Yes, but it should still be believable to a certain extent." Lucy definitely wasn't believable and the ending was stupid. The plot was stupid, too. You should watch it to criticize it, but I wouldn't recommend that movie to anyone.

>>10 Science fiction should have one reasonably believable facet of science that can be semi-false (eg, can use more of her brain) but then everything resulting from that should be 100% legit. Like, vision would get better (a lot better), but you wouldn't be able to see information traveling to people's phones.

Like, what the fuck was that shit, seriously.

I hope I don't offend anyone by saying this, but I seriously think "Frozen" was overrated. Like its a wonderful movie for little kids and all but i'm in high school and everyone in my year was going on about it. So I decided to watch and I really don't understand what all these grown-up kids are going on about, seriously.

>>12 I totally agree. I mean I think maybe it's the whole fact that people want to be in the bandwagon that they think it's cool. The only thing I like about "Frozen" is the songs. There's nothing else that's great about it. Sure, it's got it's funny moments, but it's not something that I would expect everyone to rave over like it's the best animated film ever. Seriously, it's not that great.

i think frozen is the only disney movie that the true love involved relationship between sisters..
just saying

For me it's remakes of Disney princess movies with real people acting in it and they add "twists" in the movie.

Unpopular opinion time.

Fargo. I've tried a few times, but I can never finish it. I don't know what it is. It's not good, it's not bad, I just can't watch it.

The Dark Knight Rises. Messy story, annoying aspect ratio changes, crappy plot twist, overhyped, too long, and a bunch of other shit I don't like about this one. Still enjoyed it for what it's worth.

Don't like that word. Over rated according to whom?

>>17 You.

>>14 Nope. Have you forgotten about Lilo and Stitch? Nani and Lilo are sisters.

>>19 I am pretty sure that Stitch was an alien and Lilo was a little girl.
They could not be related, and even if they were they could not be sisters at all because Stitch has a donger. (Fuck off liberals)

>>20 Uh, I think they said Nani and Lilo are sisters. And, they are. Nani is the older one.

>>21 I'm pretty sure that Stitch is an alien and Lilo is not an alien, so how could they even be related?

>>22 Stitch and Lilo are not related. Nani and Lilo are related. Nani is not an alien.

>>9 I have to agree with you on Frozen and Avatar. I saw Frozen and liked it just fine but the hype for it has gone for far too long now. Sad thing is that because of the over glorified hype it's making people hate the movie entirely.
In Avatar's case the graphics were pretty, but the story is a tale EVERYONE has seen before in movies like Dances with Wolves or Ferngully so it got boring pretty quickly.

>>16
Fargo's one of those hit-or-miss flics. Can't blame ya.

>>8
Same with Trainspotting and Breakfast Club. I mean, cult films are cult films at the end of the day.

Another one is District 9. All my buddies were like 'OMG aliums funny accents and the dude barfed on his cake roflmao!!!1" but meanwhile the production values were a schizophrenic mess. Ugh...

>>23 just admit you were wrong man, it's okay. It's easy to think that Lilo and Stitch are related due to their similar size and like mindedness. Also, just because they aren't relate that doesn't mean can't be a family.

>>26 :-)
I goofed.

>>27 still love u bb

Oh my, so much shade being thrown on Frozen... not that I don't get it, it really wasn't revolutionary for Disney in any way. Not only did the plot make no sense (where did Elsa's powers come from? Why was Anna also locked in the castle if she didn't have magic? Who was ruling the country when the king and queen were dead and the princesses were locked away??), Disney has made way better movies with more interesting characters, like Mulan and the Lion King. Honestly the only reason it's so popular is because Let It Go is a really good song.

>>29 YES! I was just about to say Frozen! Ugh, I can't stand it.

The Interview (the movie where the two guys try to kill Kim Jong Oon)

>>29 Yes! I completely agree. Although, I liked Let it Go when I first heard it, but then I heard it about one hundred more times...

This thread is basically the "Frozen is overrated" thread. And it's not that I don't agree, but hearing it everywhere is getting annoying. It's just keeping the movie from getting old.

>>33 Don't you know it's super trendy to not like popular things?
̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶a̶y̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶w̶i̶n̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶

Movies that got too much attention compared to how good they were? Wouldn't the best example of this be 'The Interview'?

>>34 We should just get strike-through font supported here so you don't have to keep copy-pasting all the time.

>>34 And then it'll be super trendy to like shit that used to be popular then wasn't, making it kinda popular again.
Then it'll die.

>>35 Overrated is more when a movie is constantly sold as better than it is, I think. The Interview had a fuckton of hype coz of that whole North Korea bullshit, but I don't think anyone really thinks it's an amazing movie.

But yes, you're not wrong.

Austin Powers

Titanic

Interstellar.

Nightmare Before Christmas; I love the movie but its been over hyped.

Divergent

The Hunger Games

I know this movie is a bit creepy but i like the movie Coraline because of the creativity put into it

>>44
I also love that movie for the same reasons. It was beautifully made.

>>44 Yes. That movie is overrated.

Avatar (The one with blue people and directed by James Cameron)

The plot is actually common..
And there is simply nothing awesome there..

Should I fucking say it?

I should fucking say it.
Fifty Shades of Grey.

>>48 YESH!!! that movie deserves to rot in hell.

>>48 almost 100 million dollars in the first weekend
Absolutely ridiculous.

>>48
Dont like the est comedy of 2015?

>>48 I don't think this counts, yeah it made a lot of money, but it doesn't have the number one spot does it? That currently goes to Spongebob and Kingsmen at the moment. And almost everybody agrees that 50 shades sucked. Probably the most overrated book though.

this film is overrated because its so bad. and that film is... Frozen. THAT IS THE WORST FILM!!

50 Shades of grey, everyone here is bananas about that movie but the most people I know that watched it say is rubbish

Annabelle and Ouija. Worst. Horror movie. EVER.

Both of them are so muddled, out of place, and are definitely NOT needed. Boring and just plain conceited.
And guess what? HIGHEST GROSSING HORROR MOVIES of 2014!

I miss the days when it took EFFORT to make a good horror films; no shameless jump scares or anything!

>>55 true movies this days consist of making jump scares not putting fear into the customer.and today horror movies have basically no soundtrack
>>1 fist shades o grey,conjuring,Edge of Tomorrow(if you want to make a book adaption make it ocorrectly don't change the entire plot) and there is a lot of other movies

it is just my opinion but movies this days that big companys like hollywood are made without a soul,some are just meh,some are bad(most of them are) and 1 per year is good(if that 1 per years even exists)

Definitely 50 Shades. Not just the movie but the book, too

Divergent. I'm not saying it is so bad...but come on, it's been years that we watch distopic films where in the end the main character will win, beacause Fate wants so. Isn't the fact that
SPOILER

she and her boy are both divergent, they can't be controlled by the government and the fact that despite she's been doing nothing for whole her life, she can jump from roof and climb high wall with no fear a bit...forced?

I might get a lot of hate for this, but personally I think Terminator has a lot more popularity than it ever deserved. Maybe I wasn't alive for the time it was, but I just don't see anything it did that I can think of other films did better, y'know?

>>58 YES YES YES. everything you said.

...but I also think The Hunger Games is waaay overrated. Read the books, seen the movies, I just don't get it.

>>58 yeah. I mean, the book was good and all, but the movie was really horrible. Definitely one of the "book-is-better-than-movie" movies....

Jaws

Star Wars.... That's right, I said it. Come at me bro! jk

I loved it when I first discovered it in first or second grade, but I really don't understand the hype and Fandom that still exists. The acting and story really are mediocre at best imo.

The real Trilogy is the Matrix.

>>64 If you really think that the Matrix is better than Star Wars, you're a terrible person.

Wow, there is actually an imbecile who likes Matrix more than the Star Wars! I believe that Man of Steel was overrated. Better than the previous Superman movies but, still.

>>66 Calling them an imbecile? Really?
I've never even watched the entire original Star Wars trilogy.

Paranormal activities every one said it was so scary and stuff like that but I found solo boring that I even slept while watching it ...

Insidious is soooo overrated. It isn't so scary, sometimes it shows some stupid stuff

I say the transformers films are overrated but they make so much money

>>3>>7>>8>>9>>10

I agree with this 100%.

>>35

This is the best example ever. Movie was so damn horrible.

>>33 through >>42

All of these weren't bad, but none of them were remarkable. I literally slept through the fist 45 minutes of Interstellar and still got the entire story. They could have just not included a third of the movie, and there would have been zero impact. It might have even improved due to a major complaint being how long it was.


>>70 Everything Michael Bay is overrated. They make money because EXPLOSIONS!


And now for my addition to the list!


Slumdog Millionaire, Million Dollar Baby, and the one that people will disagree with me on... Inception.

Inception doesn't give any basis for what a dream really feels like. It's just a bunch of computer graphics, and slow-mo. It's a beautiful movie, but it doesn't really do what it set out to do. At the end of the day, you got a shell of a story with a lot of pretty graphics.

>>71 There really is no basis for what a dream really feels like. Dreams are weird. There are no rules.

I didn't feel that was something the movie needed to establish.

>>67 Do you live in a third world country?
Are you some kind of commie?
I don't understand how you can not have seen the original trilogy.

>>72 Yeah, this. It's like establishing what a thought is.

>>73 Or they just saw it and said to themselves, "It's probably good, but I'm not going to bother."

They had no friends there urge them otherwise, perhaps.
Or they're a Communist, either one works.
