Most Overrated Movies
-
I have to disagree with Avatar being -overrated-
It was a movie experience like no other, because of the 3D element, and I enjoyed it, and loved the movie, and every great laugh until the colonel died  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
The Colonel was such a hero…

I would have preferred that Avatar ended with this being played:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjMUOU4OkaY A great parade would ensue with soldiers marching thru burned out trees and the blue people working at the casino that was just built.
The wrong people won and the wrong message was presented IMO.
-
I watched an hour of the first Harry Potter and couldn’t believe even kids wanted to watch it. Any fantasy movie trying to incorporate theme trying to similar to the Lord of the Rings. Any movie where the space aliens are trying to conquer earth and there is an actor like Dennis Quaid in it.
-
I remember when both Avatar, and The Hurt Locker we’re winning either golden globes or Oscars, but I thought they should have been competing for the Razi.

This is why i hate these type of movies…

I cringe when i see this type of thing.

@Imperious:

Any movie with Jennifer Lopez
Any movie by Tyler Perry

Insert Evil laugh here
Yes. :)

Avatar WAS overrated, so was the last Batman (and I’m a fan of SF as well as the Batman)
The Matrix is a great movie, a strong movie. The fight in the training programm, dodging bullets, “Mr. Anderson”, etc. are great moments of late 90’s-2000’s cinema.
Of course it’s my opinion. But since it’s the topic, I must say the Matrix 1 is kinda milestone.
-
Yea matrix was very good. That is the form of fantasy i prefer. It was more like Science Fiction which has basis in something factual and realistic.
Oh and here is a better idea for the Avatar end. The march takes place under that huge tree ( which was burned out due to battle). Sort of the Arch De Triumph thing 1940.

2012 is overrated, the CGI was over done.
-
I haven’t seen any of them, or the T.V. Shows/spinoffs, or read the book series.
But I can imagine, that the TWILIGHT series most certainly trumps ANY previously mentioned films as overrated.
agreed

Twilight in my opinion was not overrated, any man should know before watching the chick-flick series that it was geared for teenage girls and shouldn’t except anything else. I watched it, with my wife, and I survived. However, I had a coworker that took a woman to go see it on a first date, he decided it was cause enough to cancel any further dates.
Now Underworld is a vampire movie series we men can enjoy. Wow, those leather body suits.

Does this include Independence Day, with Will Smith as the analogue? Because I think ID is a great film.
-

Mmm, i seem to remember U-Turn being okay, though.
But i suppose you mean ‘typical’ Jen Lopez films.

Yeah, that is pretty bad. It looks like he is on the moon. I will say that not all superhero movies are done so poorly…

Any overrated movies on my list of 333?

That is partly what brought about this topic. Though I will have to take a second look.

Well, The Matrix, which I already pointed out.
Crash… I did not like that movie at all and I don’t understand why so many people do. It seemed purposeless.
-
Wait wait wait…
So Twilight gets immunity because it was -geared- for teenage girls? But Harry Potter doesn’t because it was -geared- for children?
And neither does avatar/matrix, because it was geared for sci-fi freaks?
Wow, that really blows.
Anything else I should know about this -deciding whats overrated- process before I decide to continue engaging in it?
And what exactly is -overation-? To me it’s the fact that people are pumping something up, and promoting it as the best thing since sliced bread, even though it’s not really that great… and leaves you feeling empty in the end.

Well yes, that is essentially what I am talking about. I did define it earlier: something that does not live up to its pre- or post release hype or critical acclaim… and/or did not deserve to make so much money or be so popular based on it being a poor film, for whatever reasons you wish to list. It should be based about 50/50 on your preferences and stylistic or critical points. Just because you didn’t like it really is not good enough, because then it is strictly a matter of opinion and it doesn’t matter what anyone says.

No, I did not say that. I did say that Twilight, and any film geared distinctly toward a certain gender, is more difficult to evaluate because it is rare that the typical male will enjoy it. How can you comment on how good it is or how overrated it turned out to be if you could care less about it in either case.
I am not saying a person can’t legitimately comment on a movie from a genre don’t like, because they still can, but it is more difficult to do if it doesn’t interest you in the first place; you aren’t invested in it. You “imagined” that Twilight was overrated, and for a guy like you and me it sure is. You don’t even have to see it to know that; we just don’t care about it. But any given girl might tell you differently. My fiance said the exact same thing I thought she would: Twilight was not as good as the book, but the movies are not “overrated”, as I have defined.
The Harry Potter books may have initially been geared towards kids, but that rapidly evolved to the point where as many adults as children were reading them, if not more. I have not seen the movies, but i understand that they evolved in a similar fashion; they became more mature and more appealing to adults as they progressed.
I also reject that Avatar and The Matrix are geared only towards sci-fi junkies. It is obvious from Avatar’s worldwide financial success that many more people than just the sci-fi crowd were into it (or at least bought into it). Avatar, as a film, was designed that way. The Matrix has become a classic and, as some have said, revolutionary. Only time will tell if the same holds for Twilight, but I doubt it. Men and women, young and old really can get into movies like The Matrix, Avatar and Star Wars… even if those who are most vocal on enjoying them are men.
