Not a problem, just don't rate them as top ten films of all time as they are often voted. And I love game of thrones.
Widely considered a masterpiece by old hippies and fantasy genre freaks : - ) It is nonsense. Even the lion, the witch and wardrobe and harry potter make more sense.
And they are very derivative of Norse myths and legends as Tolkien was a professor of medieval studies or something.

What doesn't make sense about a group of short, hairy footed people who live in beautiful countryside and eat and drink all day everyday?
Most of the films here seem to be 'don't like this genre but this film was critically acclaimed so going to hate on it'. If you don't like fantasy films that doesn't make those films bad. Someone might as well say they don't like films about heroin or Scots so Trainspotting is overrated.
Wes Anderson - cult films really. Never got into them but Rushmore is decent.
Damn. I was just going to say Trainspotting is overrated.
Love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Thought it was beautifully produced and had quite a profound but simple message that I found quite challenging.
I remember watching The Royal Tenenbaums in some girls flat. she said it was her favourite film. I agreed with her at the time even though I had never seen it before but I was on course for a promise.
The Royal Tenenbaums is probably one of the worst films ive ever seen, overrated or otherwise.
Amen that. The humour of this "hilarious" film must have been way too subtle for me
Pulp Fiction. Tarantino at his pointless, self-indulgent worst. None of it matters or means anything, it's like a sketch show
...so you went into a film called "pulp fiction" and expected anything different?
It's like coming out of "snakes on a plane" and complaining it had too many scenes on a plane where there were snakes.
I got exactly what I expected; some nonsense mess. This thread is about overrated films, and Pulp Fiction is king of that; it's number 1 on Reddit's top 250 films, number 7 on imdb's top 250 etc and people describe it as one of the best films of all time. It's not even good pulp fiction.
Whichever Daniel Craig Bond film it was in 2006. I thought it was all over and then off went another explosion and we had another half hour to sit through. Was on a freebie for that one, you'd have to pay me to watch a Bond film now.

Well said...I saw it at the cinema and by half way through half the audience had walked out...Me and the Mrs stayed as we were paying a babysitter, otherwise we would have done. When I asked the usherettes about it when we left she said that the same had been happening since it opened its screening.

Agree with you, Chips. Its the only film I can remember that I walked out of. I couldn't understand half the dialogue anyway, and realised I didn't want to.

Crikey be careful its the first time we have agreed on anything
Blimey I'm agreeing with @Fiiish - whatever next. Pulp Fiction is an amazing film
Totally agree, although I thought Django was completely over the top and very overrated. My most overrated movie though The English patient, dragged along by good friends, I spent the last hour thinking please hurry up and die. I felt the same about Titantic, I think I just need to stay away from Romantic dramas
I can't really contribute to this thread in its intended way because whenever I watch a film I almost always pick something I know I'll enjoy, since I could otherwise be down the pub or doing something else other than taking a punt on some flick that I might hate. Probably means there are some great films I'll never see but there we go.
Not sure if they count as 'overrated' but for the amount of hype they get the Transformers films are total pish.

Gone with the Wind
A film I didn't get the hype over was Avatar.
Anyway...Cloud Atlas
