Most over-rated films

[☮king☮]

Being John Malkovich. I bought the DVD without having seen it just because I'd heard so many good things and because it sounded like exactly the sort of film I'd like. I was wrong.

Didn't think much of Gladiator, and Blade Runner is okay, but not deserved of it's reputation as one of the greatest ever sci fi films. Pulp Fiction is pretty overrated IMO.

AI has to be the worse film I've ever seen in my life.

Edit: oh yeah - I watched 4 weddings when it was first on TV. Slightly amusing in places, but not the film everybody suggested it was.

*jackass* isn't rated tho' - let alone overrated.

I'm so with you on that one. Numerous people recommended it to me, the only saving grace was I only rented it.

Forgot to mention 'The Full Monty'

I watched it thinking it was supposed to be the funniest film ever. Not so I'm afraid, very disappointing.

In fact the scene in the bank (I think its the bank when they start to dance) has been played to death and is now very irritating.

Put me off going to the cinema ever again!

Why do I still fall for the hype!

And I really thought Collatral was massivley overated I hated the ending on the train just hated it! (and im a huge MM fan)

Don't forget that Shawshank was a book as well.

I didnt think there was much hype... all I heard was bad reviews so I went because of that and I liked it.

Not in a life-affirming 'i know this is a classic' type way, but its fun to be entertained.


Overrated:
Mystic River. Maybe. I'll have to watch it again.

The Matrix Sequels. I loved the first film, 2nd was OK but disappointing and the 3rd was the worst.

I had such high hopes and had waited for so long! :cry:

I know what you mean - it only really works in a post-modern way, so I actually quite enjoyed it.

It was still twice the film that Godzilla was ever going to be though
