Most Overrated Movies

I think Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is the most overrated, Revenge of the Sith is nearly better.

The fault seems to lie, first in the concept of telling the story of this self-tortured man against a background of action that has the characteristic of a mammoth Western film. The nature of Lawrence cannot be captured in grand Super-Panavision shots of sunrise on the desert or in scenes of him arguing with a shrewd old British general in a massive Moorish hall.


The fault is also in the lengthy but surprisingly lusterless dialogue of Robert Bolt's over-written screenplay. Seldom has so little been said in so many words.


There are some great things in the picture—which runs, incidentally, for 3 hours and 40 minutes, not counting intermission. There is some magnificent scenery, barbaric fights, a mirage in the desert that is superb (the one episode in the picture that conveys a sense of mystery). And there are some impressive presentations of historic characters. Alex Guinness as the cagey Prince Feisal, Anthony Quinn as a fierce chief, Omar Sharif as a handsome Arab fighter and Jack Hawkins as General Allenby stand out in a large east that is ordered into sturdy masculine ranks by David Lean.


But, sadly, this bold Sam Spiegel picture lacks the personal magnetism, the haunting strain of mysticism and poetry that we've been thinking all these years would be dominant when a film about Lawrence the mystic and the poet was made. It reduces a legendary figure to conventional movie-hero size amidst magnificent and exotic scenery but a conventional lot of action-film cliches.


It is, in the last analysis, just a huge, thundering camel-opera that tends to run down rather badly as it rolls on into its third hour and gets involved with sullen disillusion and political deceit.

My choice will be The Revenant.

What is with everyone's disliking of The Revenant?

You are vile.

Disney's The Little Mermaid.

Probably gonna catch a lot of crap for this bu

Mad Max: Fury Road

I didn't hate it, it was definitely an entertaining movie that was fun to look at, but it's far from the masterpiece so many people made it out to be. Outside of the visuals there really isn't anything special about it.

Of all Disney movies? Really? How come?

A big part of it is Ariel. For one, she acts in an incredibly selfish manner unlike any of the other Disney heroines. I mean, those who disobey their fathers, like Belle, Pocahontas and Mulan, did so to either protect their fathers or to accomplish a higher goal. Ariel, on the other hand, made a "deal with the devil", knew the contract would be harmful to both her father and herself, and she still did it.

Definitely Blair Witch Project. It was made using a small budget, and it shows. Worst movie I ever spent cinema money on.

Forgive me if you disagree, but... STAR WARS
