Most Overrated Movie Options

[*Kathleen*]

What would you say would be the most overrated movie ever?

I just had to. I like to see the rant again.
Lord of the Rings...? A classic? Are you out of your f**king mind. It's hollywood bullshit. Far far far from a classic, my friend. It hasn't even been given the test of time yet. To call it a classic, either way, is still premature. Not to mention, I have a huge attention span. I watch, and enjoy, plently of true classic epics (We're talking David Lean circa 1960's). I have a deep love within me for many a slow-burning horror film. Attention is not an issue. But, in all honesty, there isn't anything really to pay attention to in this trilogy, let alone anything worth attention.

Also, I can't really recall any amount of serious brain work for this one. In fact, it's a pretty uniform dumb-downed-big-time-hollywood-super-pedestrian-work. It has very little depth. It works in very defined moral lines. Its characters are amazingly under developed (almost to an insulting degree) for such a long trilogy. The special effects are bombastic. In all honesty, the film has little to nothing to offer. It appeals to simpletons, and that is why so many people adore it. That is why it is highly reguarded, and for near the same reasons that Star Wars has become an overrated work, Lord of the Rings is very much overrated.

It doesn't take much thinking. It isn't very complex, smart, or progressive. And, in the end, it offers really nothing new to film, nor does it really do any kind of impressive job in its retro-rehasing. It's boring because it has nothing to offer, not because it is long.

Want to watcha movie where you have "THINK?" Try an Ingmar Bergman film, or if that isn't enough for you, try putting together the biographical masterpiece that is Naked Lunch.

[Note: Before your beloved Peter Jackson started smoking Hollywood cock, he made interesting, honest, and awesome movies. Try Heavenly Creatures, Bad Taste, and Dead Alive. Yeah, same Jackson. Whole other passion.]

Well damn man. You just have your panties all in a bunch, don't you?

Yes, it's quite a shame they had to dumb down the books a bit in order appeal to our dumb down society. Quite a shame.

All in all, good for you Acid Bath Slayer. You're one of those teens who can think. So, what's your point? Should I pat you on the back now?

And, also, you're quite ignorant to assume my "beloved Peter Jackson" because I agree with you. I never said I liked Peter Jackson, but that doesn't automatically steer me away from a great film. Please, don't make yourself look like such a dumb ass next time.
