Most overrated movie(s) you've ever seen?

I liked the English Patient =)

I would have to say Lost in Translation. Love Scarlet, but that movie put me to sleep =/

Is all I can think of right now.. the movie was awful to watch and it was dull as hell.. and I thought Jen and Vince would've done great.. blah

"I never knew a love
A love that could be sweeter
No matter what my mind says
Your music gives me fever"
-iio "Is It Love?"

the only redeeming moment in this pretentious bore fest was the ending.

~ Imagination is the eye of the soul ~

I really couldn't get into Flight Plan despite all my friends raving about it.

I heart Huckabees sent me to sleep faster than anything along with The Break-up oh and I went to see Black Dahlia and wanted to gouge my eyes out with a spoon after about 10 minutes, to date that has to be one of the worst films I have ever sat through.

I hated this film so much, I thought it was completely over rated. I also felt it was quite homophobic, like if you are gay you will either end up alone or beaten to death. I really didn't understand what all the fuss was about with it.

I also didn't really get 2001: A Space Oddessy, I thought it was boring and didn't know why there was about 15 minutes of men jumping about in gorilla suits at the begining!

I actually paid money to go see Ishtar years ago, for those of you who don't recall it.  A musical starring Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman.....set in the desert. Yea, I don't know what I was thinking either...blame it on being young and stupid.

Walked out of the theater and I don't think I have ever done that for any other movie!

- little miss sunshine...waaaay overrated! Left me thinking "that's it?!?!"

- chicago... maybe i just don't get into musicals...i dunno

- amelie... yawn

- flight plan...agreed! way too many long drawn out dramatic pauses

- traffic...should've been called "just another day in american/mexican relations"

- napoleon dynamite...it was ok but way too hyped up

and anything with nick cage or denzel washington

Movies that ppl are crazy about... and that have no appeal to me:

Independence Day - IMO total crap

Star Wars Ep 1 - I felt like watching one of those jump and run games

Fight Club - saw the movie and was not impressed

Pirates of the Caribbean II - same as fight club

The Graduate - same as above

Top Gun - I don't see what is so spectacular about that movie

Jerry Maguire - never got in to it *yawn*

Apocalypse Now - like the fight scenes... but other than that ... *yawn*

Go Fish (go make a better movie)

The Graduate (graduate to better movie making abilities, ok?)

Titanic (more disastrous than the actual event)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (maybe the point was to make ME want to forget everything)

Wedding Crashers (it made me want to crash as in sleep)

Pretty Woman (pretty sexist)

The Pianist (the pee in this chair in boredom)

Spiderman (a web of atrocity it weaved)

Amelie (I'ma leave.)

I Heart Huckabees (i heart the end of this movie...as in credits...as in blank screen)

Garden State (i wished i was in a comatose state...or in a garden.)

I'll probably edit it 1000 times..

A Beautiful Mind (booring)
3 of the Newer Star Wars
Borat (really dumb)
Monsters Ball
Unforgiven
Men In Black
Babel (really boring and pointless)
American Beauty (was OK not super duper amazing)
Moulin Rouge

Probably because I usually have really high expectations for all of Jodie Foster’s movies, I often find myself really disappointed with some of her choices.

     e.g. Maverick—the worst western/comedy ever

           Fightplan—I don’t care if her role was supposed to go to a man 

                             and she fought for it            

       Having said that, I’m really excited about The Brave One! And that’s exactly my problem with Jodie movies.

> The worse film ever was Bug- I hated it and was so mad my date wasted his money. I literally was like WTF?!?!?!

Oh and Borat was dumb as hell too

~"If you treat me like I have a sickness then I'm going to try to infect you."~

...was just awful. I also really disliked Crash and Babel. To me, Babel was like Crash International or something. Too many contrived storylines that were put together "seamlessly" that clumsily attempted to say that everyone's the same and everyone's life sucks.

This is my signature, not the end of my post.

shakespeare in love (if it didn't win the oscar it would've been ok), the departed (original better), contact, eternal sunshine, fight club, the exorcist, blair witch, talented mr. ripley, a.i., magnolia, les voleurs, monster's ball, english patient, gladiator

"didn't i throw you out of a window? " - jessica/nikki, heroes

star wars 1-3, the age of innocence, the patriot, braveheart... ok that's it for today.

"didn't i throw you out of a window? " - jessica/nikki, heroes

Pirates of the Carribean 2 (i didn't get it at all.. i love this franchise but darn this one really sucked)

--------------------------------------------------------------

what if what I am isn't what people expect of me?

I read through the list and found some of the movies mentioned interesting. Movies that wow'd others but did nothing to me:

Rosemary's Baby - not my cup of tea.

Cinderella Man - boring, end of story.

Apocalypto - hated everything about it.

The Godfather saga - for a series so revered, I was disappointed.

Blue Velvet - the only Lynch movie I have despised.

The Pursuit of Happyness - seen one inspirational sob story, seen them all.

Good Will Hunting - didn't help that two actors I dislike, Minnie Driver and Ben Affleck were in this film.

Desert Hearts, Go Fish and Claire of the Moon - I did not enjoy any of these, I tried to like them but I didn't see what was so wonderful about any of them.

I've never seen the movie before, but it's one of my favorite books so, yeah, I feel obligated to rant about why it's DEFINITELY not overrated. It's a moving novel that basically predicted the entire rebellion against established government in the 1960s. Not to mention that Ken Kesey was totally on drugs when he wrote it, in what may be the coolest story ever.

So Ken Kesey was in college on writing scholarship and working two jobs. In the first job he was a nightguard at an insane asylum. In the other job he was a participant in an experiment with native american drugs - before they really knew the side effects. So basically he would get high on mushrooms, then spend the night guarding an insane asylum. And One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is what came out of it.

And who doesn't think that is AWESOME?

Space Odessy all the way. How the hell is this film one of the "greatest movies" ever made? AFI doesn't know their elbows from their butt.

The Godfather

Borat

The Graduate

American Beauty

Crash

I'll think of more.

Titantic was awful, it concentrated on the romantic relationship more than the event (although it does have Kate Winslet in it ^_~ )

Blood Diamond was boring, and so much violence and, again Leonardo DiCaprio was a bad actor in it.

Borat one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen.

Napoleon Dynamite- Can someone please explain the plot to me again?

Crash - Great cast, boring movie

Was hoping at least someone would say 300 or Transformers...

300 = special effects looked good but I never loved them. Plus the fighting was dull suck and the characters lacked any depth.

Transformers = good effects, everything else was fail. Not only should it have only been the bots, it should have been Beast Wars.

Also, I think Good Will Hunting was a great movie despite Ben's horrible acting. One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was brilliant to me.
