Overrated films

Well I suffered them all and, believe me, the first one is the best and most interesting. The second one I remember absolutely nothing about except there's a big battle scene in it which goes on for ages and the third one ends about 25 times before it finishes.

You're not wrong. Though I didn't remember much about the second LOTR film a day or two after, let alone 10 years after. Is that the one with the trees? Because I thought that was the last one, but I suppose it could be the second film (too).

Life Of Pi. I just find it terrible and overrated

What does overrated mean? I still tend to think I'm mostly overrated, but I can't be sure.

Take that back!

I love the second one.

The very first time I seen it after about half an hour me and my friend looked at each other and called it as it is a blue alien version of Pocahontas haha.

A few more

1. Tinker Tailor Solider Spy - I don't mind a slow movie and the cast was packed with stars but by the end I think the only person who deserved an award was me for making it to the end.

2. Titanic - I don't know where to start have never found this to be anything but shaky love story at best.

3. Scott Pilgrim v The World - I know this may be more of a cult movie to some but after a lot of friends advised me to watch it I did. I turned it off about 30 mins in as I thought I was having an acid trip.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Godfather
Casablanca
Scarface
The Graduate
Chinatown
Sideways
Slumdog Millionaire
The English Patient
All about Eve

Overrated movies are movies you did not like as much as the average.

I would include stuff like:

1 - Casablanca
2 - Chinatown
3 - Goddard's films
4 - many crime films
5 - The Searchers
6 - Rules of the Game
7 - Man with A Movie Camera
8 - Toy Story (all the 3)
9 - Nashville
10 - The Tree of Life
11 - Fargo

I never watched an science fiction film or anime film that's praised which I found overrated. Among animations in general the only ones I found overrated are the Toy Story movies and Wallace and Gromit shorts, all the other animations considered great also felt great to me.

How do you rate Ici et Ailleurs?

Haven't watched it. Look's interesting though. I might watch it since it's short.

I would say that while I didn't like Goddard's films as much as the average I still think that I gained cultural background and enriched my life in watching these films even though they don't fit exactly into my tastes.

Godard is overrated in general.

Certainly not on this forum

Looks like Godard and Avatar have something in common.

Pretty sure I'm the only person to ever say that ...

- The Harry Potter franchise

- The Dark Knight Rises

- Django Unchained

- The Boondock Saints

- The Sixth Sense

- Once Upon a Time in Mexico

- The Amazing Spider-man

- The Notebook

- Evil Dead (2013)

I couldn't get through the first Lord ot the Rings film without falling asleep either.

How does a person's sleep habits relate to a movie being overrated?

Well, you expect a to stay away during a film that everyone's raving about. Hell, even I stayed awake through all three of them, and God knows I'm not a fan.

3 that come to my mind instantly

1. The Conjuring
2. Avatar
3. Ted

I would have to think about it more though...
