I'm quite a huge film lover, and see a lot of value in many films, even ones I may not totally like. Aswell as hating the word 'overrated' lol so I have to admit that quite a lot of these replies have provoked the reaction of "Oh fuck you."
I apologise, I don't mean it. I'm just passionate about film haha!  |

an inde-cheap-arthouse pile of pathetic fuck off rubbish, the only thing going for it was some nice cinematography...but one of the worst movies I've ever watched-for the critic-hype. |

You sound like someone easily pleased, good that you are but I can't waste my time watching a pisspoor film that has one part that is bearable.
Do you have any acclaimed films that you think suck ass to add to the list? |

I find anniston decent enough...and she's a shag.Parker was only ever good in flight of the navigator and L.A story |

The most over rated film I have ever seen is Avatar. It was 3 hours of total shite. It's essentially Pocahontas crossed with the smurfs. I can never get the time I spent watching that back. |

No, i'm not easily pleased. I'm actually quite critical when it comes to film, but I know how hard it is to make a film and things which we may take for granted or never notice, I see and value those aspects.
I appreciate the craft of film. One example is a film called Sucker Punch, it's a bad film but there are camera movements and set design and cinematography there that are very well done. It's a film which doesn't work but there are aspects in there which I see quality in and appreciate. |

2012 - written bu a ten year old.
Terminator 3 -john conner girnning all the way through it
Terminator 4 - just shit, and got sarah conner chronicles stopped.
Actually like avatar. Visually stunning, and a good spin on pocohantus. 
Anything with mr no charisma Nicholas Cage - (although he's ok at playing d*unk.) |

Overrated means something which is liked by many but you are in the minority that thinks it's bad.
2012, Terminator 3 and Terminator 4 aren't rated by anybody lol. |

"Your top three....
1. Shawshank
2. The Green Mile
3. The Godfather.
Go!  "
In recent times, Gravity. Visual effects were awesome, but what an absolute shite storyline. 2.5 actors. I say the odd .5 because the third actor is a voice and a body. To anyone who hasn't seen it, its about Americans working on a space station. Then they receive a message, to warn them of dangerous space debris headed their way. The debris has been caused by an incident on a Russian space station. ( surprise surprise). One of the guys is killed off very early in the film, followed some time later by George Clooney, leaving you for the rest of the film with the ramblings of Sandra Bullock..... Blah blah , who eventually finds a Chinese space station, with a pod, which enables her to escape back to Earth. Believe me, I have made it sound interesting ! |

"Can't believe shawshank and pulp fiction were both mentioned within the first few posts 
Two top class movies, both in my personal top ten."
For many they are overrated and don't live up to the hype Shawshank is only a good film in my book with many better ones out there as others seem to think too. |

We agree about Gravity. The story was crap. We expected a lot more based on the reviews. |

I think a few people are getting confused and just writing films they don't like lol. The topic is about films which are loved by a lot of people but you think are overrated. |

"Any Woody Allen film 
God yes ,I just don't get woody Allen , garbage
Oh and 2012 ,just goes on and on crap visuals and story line  "
Have you mixed up threads?????...forget Woddy Allen, I'm talking about 2012!
Sure this must go down as one of the BEST worst films ever.
B list cast
F for plot (president lets author john cusack on Air Force One)
A for unintentional comedy moments (driving through collapsing building to name but a few lol)

I find Woody Allen a bit hit and miss, some are good, others not so much..I also think Shawshank is a good film but agree it's vastly overrated..same goes for Aliens..couldn't get through 5 minutes of Breakfast at Tiffany's as they were two of the corniest characters ever consigned to celluloid..Natural Born Killers was horrible, never wanted a film's main characters to get killed so early... |

IMHO
Seagal should have won an Oscar for 'Under Siege' - but the Academy don't do popular films.
Cage has some howlers but you have to love him as Sailor in Wild at Heart.
Rene is from Texas and so I can't say a bad word about her.. |

Was just bought the new Tom Hardy film Locke by my daughter for my birthday.
Almost two hours of just him, driving alone to London, talking shite about concrete and about an affair he had had.
She must really hate me....
Oh yeah, Dirty Dancing and Grease are dog shit too. |

Blair Witch Project - load of hyped up crap, so was that one about a giant monster filmed on a shakey camera.
Trollhunter on the otherhand - same techniques, but underrated... |
