View Full Version : most overrated movies??!
SCAREFACE-..its boring as hell and too long
star trek-..its dumb and un-realistic
star wars- is that the same thing as star trek?..besides they both stink
i cant agree with Scarface that is a classic, Al Pacino is so realistic and that is why so many people have been influenced, i got to say Independence Day was over hyped, one sfx and that was it
Sir_Jose 12-15-2004, 07:53 PM Scarface hands down.
How that movie and the word "classic" are even mentioned in the same sentance is beyond me.
Scarface is alot of thing, but realistic aint one of them. That movie is so over the top its not even funny.
The Fix 12-15-2004, 08:01 PM lord of the rings- that **** ran on too long it was so annoying and i was bored to tears when they wernt fighting. dont get me wrong the effects were good and all but i started laughing when it showed those little dudes feet plus a whole bunch of corny ****
Dr.Depravity 12-15-2004, 08:53 PM I maybe hated for this one but, Star wars, all of em. When I was 8 years old they were cool. But the writing in all of the movies is pretty poor. Lucas is a hack IMO. Hes made a ****load of money, Ill give him that. But I find his star wars elemetary at best.

Come on, easy on my favorite movie.
QueenCity 12-15-2004, 09:36 PM I with The Fix on this one, I always thought the Lord of the Rings kind of sucked.
Invader_Stu 12-15-2004, 10:11 PM Scarface is goes a little too long, but it has memorable moments.
Lord of the Rings movies are overrated yes - but this follows from the books being overrated - BIG TIME! Ok their old, and in their day they may have been good, but there are so many other fantasy series out now that would have KTFO of LOTR if made into movies.
I think Nick Cage's movies are overrated - cos to rate them at all is to overrate them - but thats just because I dont like him, his 'acting' or his monotone voice that never ever changes.
SonnyG8R 12-15-2004, 10:34 PM dodge was right on the mark with Titanic. How that movie ever won 11 or 12 academy awards is beyond me. Just plain awefull.
The other one I would nominate is E.T. It was kind of a cute movie i guess for little kids but I beilieve it won several academy Awards as well and set all sorts of box office records at the time. I never saw what the big deal was.
Forrest Gump was also overrated.

JaNnO 12-15-2004, 11:23 PM Pulp fiction - good actors, travolta & tarrantino, but kinda boring
Reservoir dogs - action but noo action, after the robbery the movie never moved away from the warehouse
Full Monty - thought it was great, but got disppointed, witty but dry!
Mr. Violence 12-15-2004, 11:25 PM lord of the rings 2&3 suk ***..allelujah!

Pulp Fiction = "Boring"
Reservoir Dogs = "action, no action"
Janno = A.D.D. mother****er.
Pulp Fiction is anything but boring.....& Dogs had "no action" ?
Grow up, kid.....movies ain't all about car chases, explosions, defined good guys & bad guys.
You probably love Steven Segal flicks.
Ivansmamma 12-16-2004, 07:35 AM lord of the rings, totally overrated.
PacKillsMorales 12-17-2004, 12:15 PM my first choice is definately scarface.
then the godfather part 2..
unless ya italian or have subtitles half the film is ruined.
deniro speaks but i do not hear lol.
starwars is a film of the times for me.
been playin star wars battleground with my bruv.
awesome..i love the whole starwars feel.
the newer films are tripe
Pulp fiction - good actors, travolta & tarrantino, but kinda boring
Reservoir dogs - action but noo action, after the robbery the movie never moved away from the warehouse
Full Monty - thought it was great, but got disppointed, witty but dry!
pulp fiction has those memorable moments but IS boring.
the reservoir dogs idea is a robbery ya never see.
just the events leading from it..highly original..maybe
Bombardier 12-17-2004, 12:21 PM Forrest Gump is definitely overrated, though most true film fans don't like it all that much.
The one I don't get it Rushmore. People talk about this movie like it's an all-time classic. I just don't get it. Thing is I loved Royal Tennenbaums and that didn't get half the credit.
Bombardier 12-17-2004, 12:22 PM I don't get the guys who are saying Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction is a bloody work of art...they'll be watching it in museums a thousand years from now.

I knew there was a joke when i heard of "the ring"
then i watched it,,,still better than blair witch :D
jabsRstiff 12-17-2004, 12:31 PM "LA Confidential"
I was so disappointed in it. So much critical acclaim (& a bull**** Oscar for Kim Basinger).
There was no suspense.The dialogue was mediocre. Only Spacey gave a good performance.
Yet, so many hailed it as a masterpiece. Must have been because it was somewhat of a Hollywood Insider" type of flick.
I hated The Matrix....Reeves is a bum & a half, the effects were overdone, & I couldn't stomach the way everyone was speaking.
tracylee 12-17-2004, 12:36 PM I knew there was a joke when i heard of "the ring"

Yeah, but I actually like Blair Witch 2..it's one of my all time fav's! One of those that no matter how many times I've seen it, I'll sit and watch it again when nothing else is on :o Love that movie!!
Boxerdog 12-17-2004, 12:41 PM I like Titanic! What's wrong with you creeps??! :D
But I agree with TLOTRs series being crap. Same with Star Wars.
And I had the hardest time watching Scarface at first and couldn't figure out why. Then it hit me. Pacino seems to be "doing" Desi Arnaz "doing" Ricky Ricardo!! VERY disconcerting!!
Jon Voight did the same voice in "Anaconda".
"Oh SNAAAAKE! Jou got some 'splainin' to do!!" :D

Damn...that's errie! Youre right about the voice B-dog..I had never made that connection til you mentioned it. I liked Scarface OK but the very best part was when he just dipped his entire face down into the mountain of coke...when he looked up and that **** was all over his face :eek: priceless!
