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.
A film I didn't get the hype over was Avatar.0 -
I always come out of nolan's films thinking the film thought it was a lot cleverer than it actually was.scruffle said:Inception, complete dribble

Amen that. The humour of this "hilarious" film must have been way too subtle for meValleyGary said:
The Royal Tenenbaums is probably one of the worst films ive ever seen, overrated or otherwise.Karim_myBagheri said:have to agree that Wes Anderson is overrated.
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.0 - Sponsored links:

Another vote for Shawshank Redemption. A decent enough film, yes, but lauded way above its merits.0

The first Batman film with Michael Keaton - Hated it.0

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.kentaddick said:

It's like coming out of "snakes on a plane" and complaining it had too many scenes on a plane where there were snakes.2 -
I like Shawshank but it is hugely overrated.Bedsaddick said:0 -
Trainspotting.1

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.
Anyway...Cloud Atlas1 -

I love Kubrick and scfi, but I find Space Odyssey painful.0

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.Garrymanilow said:

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.Chippycafc said:

How it feels to open this thread and see so much hate for Pulp Fiction, a great film

Blimey I'm agreeing with @Fiiish - whatever next.
Pulp Fiction is an amazing film4 -
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 dramasBedsaddick said:Blimey I'm agreeing with @Fiiish - whatever next.

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.0 -
I loved that film...hoof_it_up_to_benty said:The Revenant - utter garbage.

Apocalypse Now was/is very very hard going.
Almost sacrilege to criticise anything with Marlon Brando in the lead role but I really struggled to follow the storyline and find the message that it was trying to convey.
A very messy production IMHO, which I'm sure most of the audience at the time felt they had to heap praise upon to be cool because Brando and Vietnam were both hot potato subjects at the time.
If they were honest, they would mostly say they came away in complete bewilderment.
You needed to take a tab of acid to understand it......anyone who has done so will understand the irony in that comment.2 -
