Most Overrated Movies

Absolutely hate Crash

The Academy says hi

The Town and Slumdog are great! I never expected to like the latter.

I haven't seen Gosford Park yet.

I agree with the Shining, an absolutely destruction of great source material but Pulp Fiction is most definitely innovative if nothing else and when you watch it the first time, it's a genuine experience. I admit on subsequent screenings it isn't as good.

Pulp Fiction. But you all knew that.

Fear and Loathing in MoFo... The Gunslinger 45's Top 50 Favorite Films

In the 10 Ring: Gunslinger45's reviews

Imdb rating of 6.8 is low. I rated it 7. I think the movie is very distinct and it would be hard to find anything like it.
I loved it as a teenager but now it's just ok for me. Imdb- 8.9, my rating- 6.
It could have been great for it's time, but I don't think it particularly stands out nowadays.
I think "Amelie" is a unique movie and deserves it's reputation. And for it's uniqueness it isn't everybody's cup of tea. I appreciate for what it is, but I couldn't say I love the movie.

Top 5 Tom Hardy Performances:

1. Bronson
2. Warrior
3. Locke
4. The Drop
5. Lawless

Gravity, Crash, The Godfather part 2...part one was the masterpiece, the force awakens (in relation to the critic reviews of today), the witch, Jackie Brown and There will be blood.

Sorry. I know it will upset some. I do like it, but simply don't think it's as good as it's made out to be by some.

LA LA LAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(and that's all I have to say about that)

V for vendetta

Pulp fiction

Hacksaw Ridge.

Arrival.

Not a bad film but not nearly as good or as revolutionary as some make out.

Agreed

This will probably be even worse but The Godfather. Never thought it was as fabulous as it's supposed to be.

Arrival - it seems to be overrated due to 2016 giving bad movies in general. It's an OK movie with an interesting premise. Nothing spectacular.

Pulp Fiction - Way overblown for what it is.

Interstellar - way too long for it's own good in the family drama thing. I could have enjoyed it if that drama was nonexistent.

Fight Club - [I'm ready to be burnt alive] The "twist in the end" in the end thing didn't come as a surprise at all.

The Godfather - Yes, I know. It's an almost perfect movie. But Mob movies bore me.

Avatar - Could have been great if weren't for the constant "hug the tree" and "hey look, the blue guys are the Amerindians, get it?" mentality rubbed on the nose. We get it, we need to be consciousness about nature and our history shows us as blood-thirsty invaders that will decimate any other population for what their land offers. Luckily, most people are aware of this fact [given that we already have constant reminders of that on our daily basis]

Shawshank Redemption - sorry, couldn't relate to the story. There are other movies with the same premise that did a good job of not boring me.

Titanic - I remember going to the theater with my high-school mates and discovering that I was watching a romantic movie. Then I started hearing the girls sighing because of Leonardo DiCaprio. When the Titanic starts sinking I told to the one right beside me that he was going to die. She burst into tears.
I laughed.

Gravity - sigh...

Agree on all but Pulp, God, Shaw

I definitely agree with Gravity, and also Fight Club to a certain extent. There's a lot of members who don't like Avatar or Titanic.

Both dreadful movies in my opinion.

If cut down to 2 hours, Titanic would be fine. Avatar, I agree, it never got to me.
