Over Rated Movies!!
 
What is the most overrated movie you`ve ever seen? You know, the ones the critics rave about and most of your friends and relatives keep telling you to go check it out. Then you go see it you and just don`t understand what all the hype is about.


MY PICK: SILENCE OF THE LAMBS!! I finally saw it in 1998 after many warnings do not watch it alone and not in the dark, etc. That CHIT was more boring than anything else.

American Beauty...it won all those awards, but I was just didn't get it.

The brothers! That movie let me DOWN

Rosemary's baby...was it supposed to be scary? Maybe it was at the time but sweet Jesus, people must have really been boring back then. Easily the WORST movie I've ever seen.

without a doubt
 
Without a doubt TITANIC!!!!

This movie made crazy money, teenage girls seeing it 6 million times, and all I could think about is "when is this damn boat gonna sink???":rolleyes:

I almost did a little dance when he finally froze and went in the water(that's cold, but oh well)


QTE ;)

I boycotted that MICKYFRICKY movie. I REFUUUUUSED to sit and watch a movie about a boat for 3 hours. If I want to watch a movie about people on a boat, I pop in ROOTS.

I know someone who one day was soooooo bored, he watched TITANIC three times. :eek: :confused: :rolleyes: There is nooooooooo way in the world I will EVER be that bored.

ALSO
 
Oh I can't forget about MISSION IMPOSSIBLE The first one made no damn sense to me!

HANNIBAL I loved SOFL, but Hannibal was NOT all that, the end part just made me laugh, eating brains? come on now, more makeup please:rolleyes:

X-FILES, THE MOVIE They said if you didn't watch the show, you would still get it....WHATEVA!

TOMB RAIDER This movie was just horrible!

FROM HELL This movie needs to go back to the place it's titled after:rolleyes:

PITCH BLACK I just wanted to see Vin Disel fine self, that's it!

PAY IT FORWARD Put in a little bit of extra PAY and get better moviescript writers.

I refused to see Titanic when it was released. I refused to watch it on HBO when it premiered there. HOWEVER, I did EVENTUALLY see it and it held my attention. I even shed a tear. LMAO!

BUT, I think it was OVERRATED!

i agree w/you totally. i made a special trip to blockbuster to rent this movie. afterwards, i was confused, to say the least. if that movie received x number of awards, then the color purple should have received double that number.

I feel exactly the SAME way. I saw the movie last year and was so let down.

JJSP01 12-07-2001 09:28 AM

Let's see...I'd have to agree with you all on Hannibal...as much as I love Anthony Hopkins and Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal was weak. I even read the book before seeing the movie, and the book was weak too (I hated the ending).

I'd also have to say that Two Can Play That Game was wack....

Never saw Titanic and never will....I was mad that it beat Amistad for all those awards!

Shrek. Cute movie, but not as wonderful as everyone claimed it would be.

ClassyLady 12-07-2001 10:14 AM

HANNIBAL It was okay, but not worth the hype

AMERICAN BEAUTY It wasn't even okay, I saw it once on HBO and I will never watch it again. Not really Oscar material in my eyes.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME It was just corny, like Booty Call Part 2

BABY BOY It's a crying shame when the lead actor can't act.

BELLY When I first saw it, I hated it. DMX could not act if his life depended on it. I'll watch it now, because it's funny to me.

WAITING TO EXHALE

After the book, all those previews and all that hype, I was expecting a masterpiece. It just didn't do it for me.
