    I will start with "The Godfather"
    and "Bridemaids" ⁷Both totally way overrated.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Scarface.

    Pacino is extremely hammy as an actor, and the movie is loved by scumbags.

    Hereditary

    I love the "genre" but there's no convincing me that this wasn't a big pile of shíte

    1917 was not great

    Anchorman.

    Anchorman 2

    Both utter rubbish.

    Stopped watching the 2nd one after 30 minutes as it didn’t illicit a single laugh from myself or OH.

    Dunkirk was a good movie, don't think it was over-rated.

    But there was a BBC TV docu-drama narrated by Timothy Dalton starring Benedict Cumberbatch that was much better at telling the story.

    I'll be eaten alive for this but I saw Blazing Saddles and thought it was fine and not THE GREATEST FILM OF ALL TIME as I was expecting, also the 'You wouldn't get away with that now' sh1te that people come out with gets on my nerves as well.

    Is there a better version of it, like a directors cut where the timeline isn’t all over the place? I liked it but the whole timeline changing thing is annoying as fcuk!!

    A.I. Artificial Intelligence from Steven Spielberg.
    One or two flashes of brilliance but otherwise a huge let down for me.

    Sorry, no. That’s Christopher Nolan’s “thing”, everything has to be fractured, and convoluted.
