remember all the hype Serving Sara got?? that movie sucked!
I... don't like spider man the movie 2 and I... scoffed at titanic. People have called me insensitive for disliking Titanic, but eh, it was a boring movie to me.
the hulk
im gonna have to go with the majority of the crowd and say titanic. i still don't understand what is so great about it.
Spiderman, Matrix (YES ALL OF 'EM), Titanic, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Independence Day, and hundreds of other movies but I can't think of any right now
I think the Ring was hot whether or not it was scary though

POTC was kinda dorky. haha. x]
well, compared to all the other movies that he's done....
i think LOTR is WAYYYYYYY OVERRATEDD....
I'd say the Matrix... only the first one was good... they should have just stopped and left us hanging rather than make the last 2 sucky ones.
The Harry Potter movies and The Secret Window. Secret window was really lame. The Harry Potter movies are long and lame, I couldn't get into the books either.
The Lord of the Rings movies, nuff said.
I can't believe Lord of the Rings was mentioned in this topic. If Star Wars was mentioned, I probably would've had to hurt someone.
harry potter.
Why? Do you find the books overrated, too?
[Please refer yourself here as nearly all the films on that list are grossly overrated. So overrated that they will even be featured in this post.]
Hmmm. Overrated film, this is a commodity. However, most overrated? Hmmm, let's see.
1. Crash. (2006). This god awful mess of a film I feel earns a special recognition in the massive collection of overrated films. It is due this service for it has tricked nearly everyone into believing it is an exceptional and intelligent social commentary, even winning the Academy Award for best picture. Quite possibly the lowest point in Academy history, just below Titanic.
2. Titanic. f**k.
3. Lord of the Rings. Worthless attempt at an epic trilogy. A huge disapointment from the infamous director of Dead Alive and Bad Taste.
4. Star Wars. Overrated as an original trilogy, but never to a disgusting degree. With the presence of the new trilogy, which was a heaping pile of shit, it has moved its way into the ranks of the most overrated. Even thinking that the new trilogy is "ok" is a gross misrepresentation of how actually awful these new movies are.
5. Passion of the Christ. If faith can make you believe unbelievable things despite logical deliberation or rational exploration, then the same love for bullshit and comfortability could make you like a snuff film that's shot like a porn, right?
6. Saw. If this is the new wave of horror, I'm sorry I'm a horror fan. This is a disgrace to a history of successful cinema. A logical mess, an aesthetic masturbation of bullshit, and a technical failure at large, Saw sucks.
7. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Could we all just say that Tim Burton is overrated in general? Seeing as this is his worst film (just over Planet of the Apes), it is by far his most overrated. A hunk of shit. The worst movie I have ever seen in theaters, keeping in mind, of course, that I saw Mortal Kombat 2 in theaters.
8. Elephant. No one should ever even pretend to like this movie. No.
9. Kids. Larry Clark is a f**k ass.
10. Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, Godfather, Donnie Darko. We get it. You guys make nearly every f**king public poll of best films ever made. You made it for a reason, you guys aren't terrible movies. In fact, I really like some of you. But, f**king jesus the jew on a crucifix, there is way better stuff out there. Maybe it isn't that you are being overrated. Maybe you guys just aren't being compared to anything of honest value. Shit.
Someone mentioned The Blair Witch Project in this thread? Hmmm. Whoa, I couldn't disagree more. Everyone hates that movie. If you want to list overrated movies, a requirement should be, at least, that a lot of people express their love for that particular piece. In all honesty, I think that The Blair Witch Project is quite possibly the most underrated movie of all time.

Sure, you can disagree all you want. But, why?
The old trilogy was an epic of technological advancements in film. For that reason, and near that reason alone, it became quite the phenomena. The plot was unoriginal, and covered little ground. Characters were enjoyable, but were hurt by a lack of development, bad direction, no real performances, and some terrible written dialouge. To say the least, it was cheesy. And, for being an Action/Adventure Sci-fi epic, it never really thrilled me. In fact, I always prefered the comedic side of the trilogy. Still Harrison Ford is the only thing I will revisit the original trilogy for. That's it. Han Solo is a bad ass.
I would say that the original trilogy is way overrated. But, that's because it has a certain charm to it. It isn't really that fantastic of a film, but even I would overrate it. I would give it higher marks just because of its enormous cult status and charm. However, I would never pay the same respects to the shit box of aborted fetuses that was the new trilogy.
These new films were a disgusting mess. Totally lacking in the charm that was present in the original trilogy. Worse characters, worse direction, over acting. I felt ill leaving the theater they were so bad. But, people still praised them. Left, right, up, and down. The problem is, we aren't playing the same game here. When the original trilogy was made it was a huge step forward in technological advancements. The effects were awe inspiting in 1977. It amazed audiences all around the world. It was also a lower budget, per-hollywood-god production. The new trilogy losses the charm, and does worse what the original could barely do in the realm of sophisticated story telling. The film is pedestrian and simple, because of this it can reach a wide audience. That's why it is such a successful franchise, and also why it is such an overrated series of films.
But, as I had said before, if it wasn't for the new trilogy, Star Wars would have never made this list. So, thank George Lucas for being a money grabbing little-talent douche bag.
