People Share The Most Overrated Films Of All-Time

This year alone, I've been left empty by almost everything that is being touted as a marvel. And then there is Marvel...

Oh Will

"Shakespeare in Love. And it beat Saving Private Ryan for best picture FFS." ~ Millerzeit

It was Dry

"Water for elephants. The book was really good but the movie barely told the story." ~ Icy_Gap6980

"I didn't read the book, and don't hate the movie, but Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson had 0 chemistry imo. Could have been a lot better with one or the other switched for someone else." ~ cheese_hotdog

Blue Bad

"HOLY S**T NO ONE STILL LIKES AVATAR STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!! Now its overHATED!" ~ devilthedankdawg

"Seriously, it’s an ok movie. It has good but not crazy good reviews, and that’s totally fair. But Saying it’s ferngully/Pocahontas/Dances with Wolves doesn’t make you smart, you are just repeating the same thing said by every person ever. It just got an insane amount of money because of the spectacle of it and how much word of mouth it had to. And, yeah, to give credit to Avatar, it looks FANTASTIC. It still looks a lot better than a lot of CGI today!" ~ Lucienofthelight

Let it Go... Away!

"Frozen. I liked the idea of two female leads for a Disney Princess movie, but I feel the execution was off the mark. The Hans twist was predictable and the way Elsa freezes Anna's heart to trigger an 'impending death' was just stupid. Olaf was also annoying and I did not find his love of Summer endearing." ~ TelemachusTheYoung

And Burn...

"Crash. Pure pandering, shi**y script, one-dimensional characters, the whole shebang that should not have even been nominated for crap." ~ freebird12g

Ok... I love Shakespeare in Love. I'm not saying it needed to win best picture but, I'm tired of people crapping on it.

Poor Sharon

"Sliver. I was almost happy when another person in the audience had a heart attack so I could walk out. Don't worry, EMTs were there." ~ pappyvanwinkle1111

Not Believable...

"I have two. The Purge movies. Not only is the premise mind numbingly illogical with so so many ramifications, but I find it really hard to believe that the entire country would go on killing sprees instead of stealing crap and doing drugs. Paranormal Activity. Oh no, the chair suddenly moved after a half hour of nothing else happening!" ~ Yuiopy78

God of War

"Wonder Woman. Everything in it is so predictable and cliché. Gal Gadot looks like she reads her lines through a prompter. Just awful." ~ MappleSyrup13

"In my opinion they also just shouldn’t have had the God of war show up at all. I really liked the idea they were originally pushing that it wasn’t a larger beings doing, but humanity itself. Then WW has to come to grips with that instead of getting the cop out." ~ Seizing_sponge

Unfunny...

"Ted - once the swearing bear novelty wears off five minutes into the movie you're left with a paint-by-numbers rom-com with the same tired jokes and cliches we've seen a thousand times." ~ SithDraven

"Like family guy, the content of the story is awful but they have 2-3 jokes that really hit in an attempt to redeem the lack of plot." ~ dontshoot4301

Just Go!

"The English Patient. I almost got thrown out of the theater at one point for screaming "just f**king die already.'" ~ 12altoids34

Floating Up

"Gravity. Everyone raved on it and how amazing it was. I once described the entire film to someone in 10 seconds."

sfkf8486

"In space, no one can hear you yawn."

sagmag

"The point of the movie is to convey the fear and stress that the astronauts are experiencing and I thought it did that perfectly. I watched it on a 13 inch laptop screen and it was one of the most exciting movies I’ve ever seen."

DiamondPopTart

Just No

"The Irishman. I was so hyped for it, watched it on release day. Absolutely hated every excruciatingly long minute of the 3 and a half hours of it. Am completely flabbergasted that it is rated so highly."

Hellsent3

"I genuinely believe it was rated highly because critics were afraid if they said they didn't like it then they would be judged for not 'understanding' Scorsese."

"The film checks all the boxes for an amazing Scorsese film but just falls flat. I'm certain that critics believed they were missing something and rated it higher than they felt because of the legacy of all those involved."

Animation Issues

“'Boss Baby' mainly because it beat 'Your name' in best animated movie at the Oscars."

xxX9yroldXxx

"Best Animated picture award is a bloody disaster. I’ve read somewhere that most academy members don’t even bother watching the films because they’re all old and reckon cartoons are for babies and nothing else."

"I imagine that the ones that bother to vote in the category just ask their grandchildren what film they liked best… hence crap like Boss Baby beating Your Name and, the worst insult, The Tale of Princess Kaguya losing out to Big Hero 6. Fun movie, don’t get me wrong, but Kaguya is a freaking masterpiece. I had probably lost faith in the Oscars at that stage, but that was the nail in the coffin for me."

Natures_Stepchild

embarrassing...

"Black Panther. Perfectly enjoyable Marvel Movie but not even close to being one of the best. That it received so much acclaim (to the point of being nominated for best picture at the Oscars) is almost embarrassing in it’s pandering."

Visible-Doughnut-782

CALLING THE DAMN POLICE!!

"Insidious. The scene where they find a bloody handprint on their sons bed. They sit on the porch and argue instead of CALLING THE DAMN POLICE WTF!"

EBeerman1

"Insidious is one of the better modern horror films, sequels lack but the first one scared the life out of me."

ciw15101

"I always describe that movie as a LifeTime movie, but with some of the most well-directed scare scenes we’ve seen in recent years."

angadb456

Something is Off

"The Notebook. It’s a crappy love story, start to finish. Then they pander to the audience with the Alzheimer’s angle."

REDDIT

"That lady leaves her war hero injured fiancée/husband for some dude she did it with 1x and laid in a street with when she was 17, and that’s supposed to be romantic. Then she runs back to his place after not talking for like 5+ years and makes out with him in the rain? That’s not romantic that’s mental illness."

StanVanGhandi

classics

"An Italian classic, but La Dolce Vita. Disjointed and uninteresting, with pretty people cast and not much else going on."

"8 1/2 is a much better Fellini film (in my opinion), yet that damn scene in the Fontana di Trevi pops up iconically again and again."

"I 100% think that this is an unpopular opinion of mine, and I can recognize why I might have just missed the point."

PauseAndReflect

Crap

"FROZEN. No shade to kids who love it but ffs the adults who actually think it's great and rave about it/the soundtrack."

CosmicEpisode

Don't me started on The English Patient. And come on, Sliver is campy fun. Just go with it.
