Most Overrated Movies

Well, I'm sorry, but there isn't much about the film that rings true to me: the training sequence, the interviews of Lecter, the way Starling does everything by herself, and the climactic scene where she gets herself into a situation no FBI agent would get themselves into.


Hopkins was interesting, but his character was a large exaggeration of the real-life model for the character. I didn't buy Foster as an FBI agent, and the villain of the movie was a ridiculous cliché.


I admit my real life may be too close to the subject to approach the movie like most viewers - but I did answer the original post honestly.

Hope people remember these "most overrated" threads when the Mofies come around for worst thread. It usually goes to something controversial like the Trump thread or some obvious troll thread but i think these are much worse.

I really just want you all angry and confused the whole time.

I agree that Avatar (mentioned on page 1) was overrated... but I still liked it.
It's Disney's Pocahontas with CGI.
And I like Disney's Pocahontas (great music!) despite the fact that it was 100% historically inaccurate and should never be shown to children for that reason.

WHAT??????

Hey now, people who think that Schindler's List is "basically just a slasher" are the lifeblood of this community!

WHAT?????? x 2

Sorry. For me it was huge disappointment

The reason I ask was because Silence of the Lamb is a 10/10 movie for me, and I don't have too many 10/10 films in my life.

Will have to disagree on this. I actually think this movie is underrated.

No way is it a slasher, slasher films are entertaining.
