Over-rated films of recent years

[TeachBirds2Fly]

No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood

Liked Coen brothers other work but just thought NCOM kinda sucked, but when I tell anyone they look at you like you just shit yourself, then proceed to lecture me on why I might be retarded and why they can see it as the greatest thing ever put onto film since the first porno.

[gloriousmuse]

I think NCOM was a tad bit over rated myself.

[AShannon04]

I liked TWBB, but I also feel like it's a film that movie-snobs drool over and expound on to sound cool and cultured.

[bluecrunchy]

Juno.

[TeachBirds2Fly]

Juno.


www.the-editing-room.com/juno.html (http://www.the-editing-room.com/juno.html)

Check this out it's quality, really funny website, they just re-write movie scripts to the way they should have been.

[popdisaster00]

Yeah, definitely Juno...

I don't think either of the two films you mentioned are overrated. People just go crazy when Hollywood actually makes a good movie, and for 2 of them to come out at the same time and both be nominated had people shittin' bricks.

[popdisaster00]

Donnie Fucking Darko.

[CLARIFY THIS]

I don't know how popular it actually was but I went into Deathproof expecting it to be at least semi-good from the reviews.It was one of the worst films I have ever seen

[TeachBirds2Fly]

I don't know how popular it actually was but I went into Deathproof expecting it to be at least semi-good from the reviews.It was one of the worst films I have ever seen

Death-proof sucked balls, but all the reviews I read said it would. Planet teroor was good really kicked ass

I liked Donnie Darko but it's such a cliche to say that you like it nowdays. Richard Kelly's new film Southland Tales sucked

[kwsqd]

wedding crashers

[ugman_2000]

Superbad I thought was terrible, It had a few good/funny parts but i found it a little boring

& most Will Ferrell films

[SLoT]

Superbad I thought was terrible, It had a few good/funny parts but i found it a little boring

& most Will Ferrell films
You meant every Will Ferrell movie with the exception of Anchorman.
Also completely agree with Superbad being boring.

All of the Spiderman movies.

[popdisaster00]

Boring? Did you watch it alone or something?

[ugman_2000]

You meant every Will Ferrell movie with the exception of Anchorman.
Also completely agree with Superbad being boring.

All of the Spiderman movies.

Yeah, He just annoys me, I did like the film he produced though Hot Rod - that was't too bad

& yeah I agree on spiderman

[TeachBirds2Fly]

Will Ferrel's site funnyordie is pretty good for some funny vids. Sumperman returns was awful for so many reasons. Spiderman one and two where good third was a $300 million pile of crap.

[Kif]

Agreed. I get that Quentin likes to have a lot of dialogue in his scenes to flesh out the characters and make us care for them, but for god's sake man it's an exploitation movie! It doesn't need awesome characters (Except the killer of course).

I'd say Knocked Up. I didn't laugh once.

[AShannon04]

Boring? Did you watch it alone or something?

I thought the middle of Superbad dragged quite a bit, and the lack of plot didn't really help it move along.


I'd say Knocked Up. I didn't laugh once.

Haha, I love Knocked Up so much. The "double-date" scene at the restaurant with Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen riffing off each other kills me every time.

[Binosaurus]

Napoleon Dynamite was way too quirky just to be quirky.

[TeachBirds2Fly]

[quote=cky2kendall;14499841]Agreed. I get that Quentin likes to have a lot of dialogue in his scenes to flesh out the characters and make us care for them, but for god's sake man it's an exploitation movie! It doesn't need awesome characters (Except the killer of course).

I think he totally tries too hard, like you'll see a clock and just know that it was put at that time because he is referring to some obscure japanese cult classic that only he has seen. Or just everline in the script is homage to something else. His new WW2 film looks good tho.

[Kif]

Haha, I love Knocked Up so much. The "double-date" scene at the restaurant with Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen riffing off each other kills me every time.
I honestly can't remember a thing that happens in that movie. That's how unforgettable it was to me haha. Maybe I should watch it again or something.

Adding Garden State to my list too.

See, I saw the midnight showing and the theater was packed, every single person falling out of their seat laughing hysterically.

I watched it with my roomate, just me and him, and we giggled.

I think it depends on the crowd.

[SLoT]

Agreed. I get that Quentin likes to have a lot of dialogue in his scenes to flesh out the characters and make us care for them, but for god's sake man it's an exploitation movie! It doesn't need awesome characters (Except the killer of course).

This movie looked so unfunny to me that I've purposely never watched the thing.

[IAmNietzche]

Brick, No Country for Old Men, Crash, Brokeback Mountain, The Departed

[Kif]

Brick, No Country for Old Men, Crash, Brokeback Mountain, The Departed
I hate everything about that movie.

[Binosaurus]

Brick, No Country for Old Men, Crash, Brokeback Mountain, The Departed

Agree on Crash and Brokeback... But Deprtes and No Country are on my all time top 100 I guess

[AShannon04]

Brick, No Country for Old Men, Crash, Brokeback Mountain, The Departed

oh man, I hated Brick. The old-school style just didn't appeal to me whatsoever.

[Binosaurus]

Brick wasn't so bad... But the meshing of highschool movie and film noir failed

[Adeniz19]

I agree with Brick. Interesting concept but it just didn't work well IMO.

[Binosaurus]

Don't know if it qualifies as "recent" but A Beautiful Mind really didn't do it for me...

[popdisaster00]

I wanted to see Brick...

[Binosaurus]

It's still worth a Rent, popdisaster

[xshady121]

Anchorman. I don't see what all the hype is about.

[TeachBirds2Fly]

lol wasn't over rated as the reviews were spot on but I was looking so forward to The Happening for so long and it was fucking joke. Hancock aswel, promised but did not deliver.

[williek311]

Crash

[ThexQuietxCull]

I wanted to see Brick...

i would say go ahead and rent it. i really enjoyed it, the whole neo-noir setting was something i really enjoyed and the dialogue was good as well

[EmoPunkKid28]

Agreed with There Will Be Blood. DDL and Paul Dano were awesome, but the first hour dragged so bad, I hated the music, thought it was just awful. People go absolutely crazy when you say you don't like this movie though, haha

[bowl of oranges]

I liked Brick, and Crash is one of my favorite movies. :shrug:

I think Apollo 13 is way over-rated.

[Binosaurus]

Is Apollo 13 regarded as anything more than an entertaining Drama, that is well acted?

[popdisaster00]

Tom Hanks has never made a bad movie, sorry.

[eraserhead]

this thread is full of fail

[TeachBirds2Fly]

Tom Hanks has never made a bad movie, sorry.


The Da Vinci Code... and I am guesing Angels and Demons will be no award-winner. Apart from that and maybay Splash (but it had its moments) he has ben pretty solid.
Think he is rumored to play Neil Armstrong in the Apollo 11 movie, but think he might have been rejected for being too old.

But I love you really Chris...I just happen to think you're hella wrong

[matt_rawlings]

Crash - piece of morally condescending shit

[matt_rawlings]

And I loved 'Brick'...

[TeachBirds2Fly]

But I love you really Chris...I just happen to think you're hella wrong


Having a party at the house tonight

Saving my energy for tomorrow -
lol did you watch the 'time for batman to tone it down' vid? See Bale beat his mum/sister. Got another threat talking about that, my view is he has went mad because the Dark Knight film is just that badass

[matt_rawlings]

Hahahaha no, I'll give it a look tommorow. Going to head home, record some tunes then clean up for the party tonight. Made a party playlist in case people don't dig the 90 minute long Ocelot jam I showed you on Saturday, but if they don't like that then they are mad for the cock...and also wrong

Tommorow is going to get intense

[chronomic]

i only saw the second half of crash, and it had my attention the whole time. TWBB is prolly my fav movie of last year and i've never seen NCFOM

[matt_rawlings]

i only saw the second half of crash, and it had my attention the whole time. TWBB is prolly my fav movie of last year and i've never seen NCFOM

There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men and Wall-E are my favourite films of the year so far.

The Dark Knight may well hurt my kidneys with it's badassery

[SandManTEND13]

my list
No Country for Old Men
Semi Pro
Spiderman 3

I loved There Will Be Blood

[matt_rawlings]

Semi-Pro was just shit, and I love Will Arnett, Will Ferral and Woody Harrelson

[TeachBirds2Fly]

Hahahaha no, I'll give it a look tommorow. Going to head home, record some tunes then clean up for the party tonight. Made a party playlist in case people don't dig the 90 minute long Ocelot jam I showed you on Saturday, but if they don't like that then they are mad for the cock...and also wrong

Fuck I am at work (well sitting on the computer all day doing fuck-all) then going out for meal with family, then gettin hammered at liquid rooms. might try and get thursday morning offf because at the mo got a 9am start.
Well I am away home, thats me just made £50 for sitting on absolute punk and theonion for 8 hours, i ll see ya tomorrow.

[chronomic]

the only list spiderman 3 belongs on is the number one worst fuckin movie ever list.

[Smash Adams]

the dark knight

kidding, kidding, haven't even seen it
million dollar baby, crash, has Paul Haggis done anything else besides make a guest appearance on Entourage?

[matt_rawlings]

Paul Haggis just needs to calm the fuck down with his increadibly overt and cheesy metaphors

[MyWorldEntire]

There Will Be Blood

The acting performances by Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano were fantastic, but the plot was just garbage.

[popdisaster00]

The Ladykillers... Nuff said
Ladykillers was great.

[popdisaster00]

There Will Be Blood

The acting performances by Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano were fantastic, but the plot was just garbage.
I respectfully disagree :-)

[TooLateF0rRoses]

The Dark Knight.

[Adeniz19]

Requiem For A Dream

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

Juno - even though I enjoy it despite the dialogue becoming grating after a while

Garden State - I remember back in the day when everyone in high school seemed to be quoting this on their AIM profile/livejournal.

Crash - Ugh.

Maid in Manhattan - j/k

[matt_rawlings]

Ladykillers was great.

Not to mention critics hated the Coen's take on The Ladykillers. I thought it was superb

[chronomic]

TWBB isn't a plot driven movie. It's about the characters.

[popdisaster00]

Not to mention critics hated the Coen's take on The Ladykillers. I thought it was superb
I thought it was pure fun.

[Ailite]

No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood

Liked Coen brothers other work but just thought NCOM kinda sucked, but when I tell anyone they look at you like you just shit yourself, then proceed to lecture me on why I might be retarded and why they can see it as the greatest thing ever put onto film since the first porno.
I 100% disagree

For me I'd say Crash, Juno

[MyWorldEntire]

TWBB isn't a plot driven movie. It's about the characters.

The characters may have been fantastic, but that doesn't add up to a great film overall. No Country For Old Men had some fantastic acting performances, and it also kept me on the edge of my seat the whole movie.

[Machu505]

Anyone who says No Country for Old Men needs to be punched.

[Thug_Nasty]

the dark knight
kidding.

[TooLateF0rRoses]

Garden State - I remember back in the day when everyone in high school seemed to be quoting this on their AIM profile/livejournal.

i remember everyone doing that too, it was annoying, but you cant sell the movie short. it is really amazing. being from new jersey also helps too.

[chronomic]

The characters may have been fantastic, but that doesn't add up to a great film overall. No Country For Old Men had some fantastic acting performances, and it also kept me on the edge of my seat the whole movie.

true, but that's not what TWBB was doing. It's just the awful story of a fucked up oil tycoon. one of the things that made it so great for me WAS the unconventional-ness of it all. Not that NCFOM is different, it is a coehn bros film afterall.

[Spicoli hey bud]

I'd say Knocked Up. I didn't laugh once.
If anything, Knocked Up is underrated.

[Crosswind Ghost]

Transformers. Michael Bay needs to learn how to read & write.

[stayillogical]

No on all counts. The actual most overrated film of recent years is Juno. All the scene kids have now proclaimed it as their favorite movie. Omg, they're so cool!

[Machu505]

I like Juno, but I can only watch it once. The dialogue kills me.

Yeah instead of Ellen talking about random "quirky" shit, lets get Michael to stand awkwardly and stutter on every line of dialogue. Much better.

Garden State.

Lost In Translation.

[stayillogical]

I have a headache and my sarcasm detector might be off, so were the Michael Cera comments being sarcastic or not? I love him. His awkwardness is comedic gold IMO.

[matt_bergeron]

Crash - piece of morally condescending shit

I honestly thought I was the only person that thought that. I get so much shit for talking bad about this movie.

[matt_bergeron]

This movie didn't come close to getting enough praise to be considered overrated.

They were legit. Everything I've seen him in, he plays the same weird kid character. It's funny the first few times, but after a while, it just gets repetitive. But he was in Arrested Development, so naturally everyone has a hard-on for him anyway

[matt_bergeron]

What?


completely quoted the wrong person.

[Thomas Balkcom]

Juno

and I loved Southland Tales just because it was so much fun

Because Arcade Fire suck so hard. :rolleyes:

Shawshank Redemption will forever be over-rated.

Didn't you already say this in another thread and receive serious pwnage for such a preposterous statement?

[poppa Q]

had 88 percent on tomatometer :shrug:

Good, I'm glad critics recognized how good this film was. If only the general public noticed enough for it to warrant a title of overrated.

[matt_bergeron]

Because Arcade Fire suck so hard. :rolleyes:

never said they sucked. but talking about hipster music. im pretty sure that qualifies.

[Machu505]

Donnie Darko, Napoleon Dynamite, Garden State, and The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are among the tops for me...

Donnie Darko, Napoleon Dynamite, Garden State, and The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are among the tops for me...

Garden State is a grossly overrated film

[_jonas]

Cars was pretty whatever to me.

[TeachBirds2Fly]

The Godfather (all parts), I'm sorry maybay I have to watch it again it's been a while agree with Peter Griffin - 'did not like it...it insists upon itself'. Think starwars is a overrated as well, I mean it always tops the 100 best movie polls along with the Godfather but I just to see them as being the greatest films ever made

[TK]

Donnie Darko
Pixar Films
Star Wars

[Kif]

Now we've gone from "overrated recent films" to just "overrated films"

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Juno
40 Year Old Virgin
Ironman
Anything Jack Black related.

[TeachBirds2Fly]

I really hope Dark Knight isn't over rated looks shit hot, and all the reviews are like 'you will want to stab your eyes out becuase after this you will not want to see anything else EVER again!' or along those lines

[gilatron5000]

Donnie Darko and anything directed by Aronofsky

[AlternateToLife]

Juno
40 Year Old Virgin
Ironman
Anything Jack Black related.

Does that include High Fidelity?

The Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings films were all incredibly over rated to me.

[a speedo model]

Donnie Darko, No Country For Old Men (liked but wasn't amazed), Brokeback Mountain and Superman (people raved like mad about this to me for months, when I saw it I barely liked it at all)

[a speedo model]

Donnie Darko and anything directed by Aronofsky
The Fountain is brilliant. But I can understand and in a sense agree with you.

[ThexQuietxCull]

The Fountain is brilliant. But I can understand and in a sense agree with you.

yeah, the Fountain would really be the only Aronofsky film I could defend

[ThexQuietxCull]

i dont agree with donnie darko at all. just because its "cool" to like it doesnt mean its overrated. especially the directors cut of it. absolutely brilliant.

i would say juno for sure. i liked it. but it wasnt as amazing as everyone made it out to be.

Juno, hands down. It was fun to watch, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

The Dark Knight immediately comes to mind. No one can argue about that it is (#1 on IMDB... really?) but the extent that it is, certainly. And its by a lot. Fargo, Big Lebowski.

On the other hand to the OP, I thought NCFOM was great. Not what I expected, but that is what I like.

[.invisible ink.]

I haven't checked this thread, but as soon as I saw the title I thought of Waking Life. God that movie is so pretentious and over-rated.

[4N6 science]

The Dark knight

not even close to being true.

[Omaha_Slamdance]

umm probably "superbad" was the most overrated thing i have seen ever....

really did live up to its name.

[writeacliche]

not even close to being true.

In the literal sense of the word "overrated", I think it is. Especially right now. Right now people are near hysteric over the film and even the poor spots (however minimal there are) are being completely overlooked because of just how excited people were over the film. It'll cool down, I think.

[doyouhas?]

comments like that are what make it overrated.


people liking a movie are what make it overrated?

hmm. yes. NOW i see you point. i guess the dark knight is the most incredibly overrated film of all time. i hear lots of people say its brilliant.


youre an absolute fucking idiot.

[popdisaster00]

Joe Vs The Volcano.
Well dude, it was 1990, before he started doing all of his oscar-worthy work and stuff. Many people, including myself, still love all of his old movies such as this one, big, splash, etc.

uhhhh yes when tons people call a movie absolutely brilliant when it's not in MY eyes then its overrated. if no one liked a movie then how can it be overrated smart guy? people can argue that NONE of these movies are underrated if they wanted to.

i can call the original poster an idiot for thinking NCFOM is overrated or you for TDK but I won't. It's your opinions and I know people don't all like the same thing. But I will call you an idiot for taking a movie so fucking seriously.

not even close to being true.

It's the highest rated movie ever on IMDB, haha. I'm not saying it's overrated, I haven't seen it. Still funny/weird though.

In the literal sense of the word "overrated", I think it is. Especially right now. Right now people are near hysteric over the film and even the poor spots (however minimal there are) are being completely overlooked because of just how excited people were over the film. It'll cool down, I think.

I guess my take is this movie finally delievered to the hype.. in this decade lots of movies have been hyped and they failed miserably. I think this movie changed that.

Well dude, it was 1990, before he started doing all of his oscar-worthy work and stuff. Many people, including myself, still love all of his old movies such as this one, big, splash, etc.

(So no, it's not a Hollywood masterpiece...but millions of people still love it!)I know none of his early works are Hollywood masterpieces but most have a certain Sunday afternoon family movie quality to them. Big, Splash and The Man With One Red Shoe all fall in here, not so much Batchelor party. So I'm not hating on all Tom Hanks early work just Joe vs The Volcano.

The Dark Knight immediately comes to mind. No one can argue about that it is (#1 on IMDB... really?) but the extent that it is, certainly. And its by a lot. Fargo, Big Lebowski.

On the other hand to the OP, I thought NCFOM was great. Not what I expected, but that is what I like.

fargo is by no means overrated. GTFO

I don't want to get into an argument about it, and I respect your opinion, but I liked The Fountain the least of his movies.
Same, I respect your opinion and am not interested in argument. No problem, I still haven't seen his first one.
