Overrated films that people seem to think are a great but really are not

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

Pulp fiction

The Godfather and Bridesmaids in the same sentence?

Birdman

Dunkirk, 1917. Over hyped and rubbish

JohnnyFlash · 02-09-2020 07:04PM

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

The Guard.
The Young Offenders.

1917 was not great

Dunkirk was one of the best WW2 movies ever made

Anything with superheroes.

No one wearing a cape has ever saved the day, so grow up.

Used to love scarface in my teen age years even had a poster up in my room watched it again few years back and can’t believe how bad an actually film it is

AndyBoBandy · 02-09-2020 07:08PM

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.

‘Zoolander’.
‘Team America: World Police’.

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!!

odyssey06 · 02-09-2020 07:10PM

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.

Cardboard Gangsters.

I know. Nobody ever claimed it was great, but I can’t pass up an opportunity to reiterate how shyte it is.

Super hero movies are 99% scutter
