Over-rated films

Some of my mates thought the dark knight rises was very over-rated. Wanted to know everyones opinion on this and what they thought was the most over-rated film they have seen

The forum gets a lot of these "overrated films"/"unpopular opinions" threads. They inevitably degenerate into uber-cool people listing the various commerically successful and well regarded films they don't like with no supportive arguments whatsoever so let's save everyone some time:

Every good film ever is crap.

When me and my friend saw the dark knight rises we bought thought it was over-rated.

But hey, within saying that its still a good movie. But its just the way people went on. Like it was one of the best movies of all time. Personally I think 'bandwagon' crap was going on with alot of people...

The avengers - It was OK but nothing special. Maybe if I was a fan of the comics I would have enjoyed it more. Even if it was brilliant it was still overrated. People went nuts over it, saying it was the best film thing that will ever exist and then went to watch it 4,000 times in one day.

Plus the ending with the mass invasion was stupid. It made little use of the avengers super powers (apart from Ironman and Hulk). Here you have 10,000s of alien troops invading and you've got Captain America, Thor and Black Widow fighting a handful of them one on one. It made them look completely ineffective and useless. The US military would have been far more effective with a relatively small number of troops. If those three weren't there, it wouldn't have made a difference at all.

It was the same with The Dark Knight too. Like you say, they're great films but some people did go OTT with the acclaim.

Honestly I probably hear twice as much moaning about The Dark Knight Rises than praise.

Even though it wasn't a gigantic blockbuster movie, I thought The Cabin in the Woods was really overrated.

Since we're coming up to Oscar season: Crash and Slumdog Millionaire were both dreadful movies.

Can't wait for the proclamations of "pretentious!" for movies that have an average shot length of longer than 3 seconds. :pac:

This topic has been done to death, and always ends up going the same way. Sorry OP, this discussion ain't going anywhere, as evident from most of the replies.
