    Default Most overrated movies ever

    Do your friends rave about a movie that left you cold? You’re not alone. Now's your chance to name and shame the most over-hyped movies of all time...

    For me, Id say Sin City - I dont see what was so great about this movie, same with Kill Bill 1 and 2. Total snoozefests zzz.

    I thought Talladega Nights was like that. I am sure I thought the same about others too but that comes to mind right now.

    Although I didn't mind Stepbrothers, I didn't think it was all that good/funny. I find that Will Ferrell tries too hard to be funny.

    Loved Kill Bill, but I can see how some people might not.

    I thought Borat was funny, but not good enough to watch twice, same thing with Napoleon Dynamite.

    Harry Potter movies, even though I only watched the first one.

    I'm sure I'll come up with a few more.

    Ohh, right...

    Citizen Kane.

    ^^ i thought it was overrated as well. Definitely a decent movie, but not as good as everyone made it out to be.

    Clearly this thread is all subjective and based on taste (some more juvenile than others) because all of those movies were great in one way or many.

    Of course the thread is going to be subjective, this is all opinion based.

    Well you see the title was the most "overrated" movies, so I noted a few movies which were acclaimed by many and I saw and disliked.

    About a year ago I took some time to put together a list of about 50-75 must see moves as I hadn't seen many movies which are cult-classics or very highly rated. So I went through the beyond must see thread, and IMDB, and other movie rankings. It was great because now I have watched many movies which I have enjoyed and I often watch movies as a more active pastime.

    The movies which I listed were regarded very highly on voting sites like IMDB, and I was left disappointed. I can't appreciate artsy sensationalism quicks of Tarantino.

    Kill bill 1 and 2, yes
    Reservoir dogs, yes
    I loved pulp fiction though.

    I thought Fight club was abit overrated. I liked the movie, but it wasn't as good as everyone made it out to be.

    Rocky Horror Picture Show. WTF is that shit supposed to be about? Every white person I know talks about it like it's the most amazing movie ever.

    I saw it once and couldn't understand it - transvestites, dancing, singing, wtf?
