what do you think is the most over rated movie

Gone With The Wind

Permalink Reply by Rayny on April 1, 2008 at 2:03am: While I didn't look at the reviews here on Netflix, I do belong to several message boards and the 2 movies it seemed many people liked that I HATED (detested would probably be a better word) were:

Artificial Intelligence
Butterfly Effect

I see many have said Titanic. I didn't think the movie itself was overrated, but it angered me that it was called, Titanic, when it was a completely fabricated storyline for the most part (aside from Molly Brown or John Jacob Astor, and a ship that actually did sink). They should have named it something else. It's a smack in the face as if there wasn't enough real disaster to cover when talking about that horrific ordeal. It makes me mad that Hollywood doesn't always see how they can entertain and educate at the same time. We see time and time again that when they do, people actually eat it up.; ▶ Reply to This

Many of my fellow Horror Freaks swear by Takishi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer, One Missed Call) I've rented the 3 above mentioned movies and couldn't stand them. I think its a love him or hate him kinda thing.; ▶ Reply to This

People say this is a great sci-fi movie and all that, but there are some really stupid decisions made in this movie that pissed me off so much that I went from enjoying a movie that had some pretty nice effects going on to just being upset and irriated.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm tired of hearing this is "the greatest film ever made"
It's decent, but greatest EVER?!
The better Orson Wells movie for my money is A Touch of Evil; ▶ Reply to This

I try to stay away from stereotype racist movies that paint everyone out to be a lamed brain guilt ridden closet racist. To me racists are those who talk about racists the most; I mean get real, if race doesn't bother you then why are you always talking about how it bothers you that it bothers others - these be the pure guilt trippin people who live in their own closet.; ▶ Reply to This

However, was 16 year old kid at time and maybe was abit too full of self at time to give a sensitive movie a proper shot. Have tried to watch it since but have never caught from the beginning and never stick with it very long; ▶ Reply to This

Agree w/ comments about Crash.

Really overrated: Sideways/Little Miss Sunshine/ and Juno (all released by Fox Searchlight, a boutique division of Fox w/ a strong publicity departement).

This year's most overrated: Slumdog Millionaire a.k.a "Oliver Twist Goes to India."; ▶ Reply to This
