Overrated Movies

Do you people realize what you've done? You've put a Keanu Reeves movie 18th overall on the Top 250 list! That's just awful. This movie is just awful! It was ridiculous. It just didn't have me believing it. I wasn't convinced. Oracles, people controlling reality, dodging bullets, Keanu flying into that agent's mouth at the end and forming some explosion to kill him from the inside of his body? Utterly pathetic. I gave it a 2/10. Everybody always complains about Michael Bay movies being overrated because of the action sequences and all, but this movie was nothing but slow motion action sequences! I don't get it.

All this movie consists of is awful fight scenes with moves so bad you can almost see the harness and ropes pulling them through the air and a lot of blood... A LOT. I mean, I don't have a problem with gore in movies, but it was as if Tarantino wanted to spray the camera with blood in every scene! It was overkill. It was like a go-to move or something as if to say, "You wanna see something cool? *Splash* Look, it's more blood! As if you didn't just see some 60 seconds ago". And the scene where Uma fights probably 30 men at the same time, alone? Give me a break. She pulls a guy's eye out with one swift stroke of her hand? Please. And then she spanks a guy with her sword?! What? I mean literally spanks! I suppose that's Tarantino's attempt at humor. And the cast? Don't even get me started with the cast. Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Darryl Hannah, Michael Madsen... Pathetic.

Lacked creativity, great cast with uninspiring performances, bad "plot twists", and bad ending. Simple as that. Overrated... Way overrated.

This movie sucked. I cannot believe it's in the Top 250 list. Let's get this straight. A movie with a plot about a guy seeking restitution for his ruined rug who says "dude" literally every 60 seconds gets this high of a rating?! This movie was pure stupidity, and not the good kind. I mean, I like some movies with stupid humor and all, but this movie was horrible. It was almost like watching the 8th season of That '70s Show but without the audience laughing in the background to let you know when to laugh because the jokes weren't that funny. You want to see a movie about ineptitude and stupid humor? Watch Fargo. (3/10 stars)

This movie is bad. So bad! I don't get why everybody is so jacked up on this movie. There's much, much better war movies out there than this one. This movie, to me, was a disappointment. It was a bit frustrating to watch this movie. I thought the cinematography was limited. It was almost claustrophobic. It almost seemed like the scenery was green screened for a majority of the movie. Some of the acting seemed exaggerated. Everybody seems so hyped up on this movie, but quite frankly, I think Troy, Gladiator, and The Lord Of The Rings outclass this piece of crap by far. I give it a 3/10, and that may be generous honestly. Gerard Butler... Ha!

Spike Lee suuuuccccks! This movie was crap. The dialogue was nothing but a bunch of 'New Yorker' sarcasm, quick punch-line humor. It had a great cast, yet the writing and directing was so bad that the acting was, in turn, average. Then, there were quite a few scenes that were useless. The only good part about this movie was the robber's hideout. Denzel Washington is my favorite actor, and even HE couldn't make this movie enjoyable.

This movie was crap. Starts off as a good idea, but then it's all washed down the drain right from the beginning. It was a complete mess. It was all too unbelievable. Not for one second did I believe any of these characters were real, and that's what a good movie is supposed to do. It's supposed to convince the audience. This movie just wasn't cutting it. It was all too fake. It felt like I was watching a really long music video, terrible cinematic sequences with an awful soundtrack.

Simply one of the worst movies ever created in the history of cinema. Pure stupidity from start to finish, and it wasn’t even amusing. If I could give it less than a star, I would.

I just don't see the appeal. It wants to be a movie about underdogs becoming heroes, but it comes across as people I don't give a crap about being douchebags in costumes.

What an incredibly boring movie! It was so tedious. I think the last 15-20 minutes was the only good part of the movie, the only entertaining part of the movie. I mean, if this movie falls under the suspense/thriller genre of movies, WOW! What a terrible thriller. There was a pretty good twist at the end, but the rest of the movie was monotonous.

This movie was so very disappointing. It was really kind of simple and dumbed down. It wasn't nearly intense enough to be a "thriller" as IMDb categorizes it as. It just wasn't as twisted or dark as I thought it would be. Kathy Bates actually really disappointed me with her acting (not that I find her to be a great actress anyways). It was... boring, for lack of a better term.

Gotta say, not a fan of Guy Rithcie films. Sherlock Holmes was a disappointment, and I saw the trailer for RocknRolla. Yeah, that was enough for me. And well, this movie? The cinematography in this movie is, at times, annoying. Their accents are so thick, you can barely understand what they're saying in some scenes. I think the "comedic" parts in this movie weren't so comedic. It was like, "I see what you did there... but I didn't like it." The little twist at the end of the movie was less than stellar to say the least. And in one scene, one of the main characters said, "Goody Gumdrops"... I kid you not. I'm surprised I watched the rest of the movie after I heard that line. The movie just didn't entertain me very well, and for that I give it a 4/10.

A 7.7? Seriously? I didn't dislike this movie, but that's a bit high on the 1-10 scale. I mean, it's a movie about Facebook. Get real. It wasn't 7.7 good. It was alright, but it wasn't even close to as great as people are making it out to be.

Nah, this definitely doesn't deserve a 7.5, not that good. The general plot was pretty good actually, but then it all went downhill. The way the cops would discover things or get leads, and the way Cruise's character knew where Foxx and Pinkett-Smith's characters went at the end when he was chasing them. The whole club shooting scene was pretty ridiculous. It was a pretty decent movie maybe the first 20-30 minutes. After the first and second killings, it just got a little "Hollywood" or unrealistic. Definitely an overrated movie.

Oh, yes I did... Not a big fan of this movie. I must say for 1977, the special effects and all were great, but the movie itself? It was super cheesy. Everything just seemed so acted out and simple, like the script was awkward or something.

I was born in 1990, so it's not like I could ever see it when it first came out, but it still has a very outdated feel to it. The plot was okay, but the zombies were lame. I know it was 1978, but they looked like a bunch of drunk people wearing guacamole masks. They should be a little more threatening. I mean, the main characters were just running through crowds of zombies because they were moving slower than slugs. It was hard to feel scared for any of these characters.

It's a decent movie, but aside from all of the 3D technology and special effects, the plot doesn't have that much originality. This movie doesn't belong in the Top 250 list.

It was too child friendly, there were no characters that actually made me feel for them, it was just plain silly. It didn't really excite or interest me enough, and the ending was super lame. I suppose it's a good movie for children to watch, but I was just not feelin' it. An 8.0 puts this movie up there with the greater animated movies like Lion King, Toy Story, How To Train Your Dragon, and even better than Aladdin? No way. It wasn't that good. The thing about all the classic animated movies like I just mentioned is that they are timeless and give you characters and stories to actually FEEL for and care about! This movie didn't;t do that for me. (5/10 stars)

God, this movie is annoying. The little brother's whining throughout the movie, the father's obsession with a stupid lamp that looks like a woman's leg, a main character that I just do not care about. I think the only part I laughed at was the kid getting his tongue stuck to the pole. Otherwise, I literally don't think I laughed or felt any major emotion except boredom for the entire movie. This movie is quite ridiculously overrated, and frankly, I think it's insulting that it has a higher rating than the classic and timeless Home Alone. What are you people thinking? (4/10 stars, movie was just 'meh')

I know this movie is probably considered the weakest of the first three Indiana Jones movies, but I still think a 7.6 is generous. I think people got caught up in, "Oh, it's still Indiana Jones, and it's still entertaining", but I have to admit it was pretty bad. First of all, it was WAY more ridiculous than the first movie as far as action sequences go. At least in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", the action sequences were in the realm of possibility and were still enjoyable and entertaining. In "Temple of Doom", they were awkward and probably completely impossible most of the time. Secondly, Kate Capshaw was SOOO annoying, it was painful to watch. I remember repeatedly telling myself how much I hated her character every time she was on screen. The plot also seemed like a bit of a stretch for me. It just seemed like something that was pieced together rather than intelligently written. To me, the only reasons to watch this film are for the Asian kid from "The Goonies" because he was friggin' hilarious, and the entertaining 'classic Spielberg' mine cart chase scene. Otherwise, this movie was fairly rough to watch for me. Rating: 4/10 stars.

Upon a second viewing, I learned to appreciate this film 'a little' more, but I still don't see why everyone seems to hold this film in such high regards. The story moved along pretty slowly which rendered the movie a little boring for me. The character development was slim with most characters, especially Zhora, Leon, J.F. Sebastian, and even Deckard. I will say Rachael's character had the most character development and was the character I could sympathize with most. Roy was a close second I suppose, but the climax was weird for me. The way he was toying with Deckard was just strangely eccentric, and I'm not sure why they executed it that way (things like popping his head through the bathroom wall and howling like a wolf - I just didn't get it). People writing reviews about how deep and poetic this film was, and if you didn't see this film the same way, you must be a mindless action movie junkie, right? Pff, please. I don't know. It just fell short for me. I'm not saying it's a bad movie. I just consider it to be a little overrated. Rating: 6/10 stars; And that's an improved rating from the first time I viewed this film, too. I really wanted to sit down and watch this film and went in with a mind open to hopefully seeing what others see in this film, but it just didn't do it for me. Sorry, Blade Runner fans.

Is this movie really an 8.8? I don't think so. Even though he plays an 'A hole' in just about every movie, I don't really have a problem with Ray Liotta. He's a good actor, but his narrating kind of annoyed me a little in this movie. Why is this movie rated so high? It didn't amaze me or anything. 6/10 stars for me.

An 8.6? AN 8.6?! Maybe somebody needs to help me understand the art of Japanese film making because I was extremely confused with this movie. The animation was great, but it was a very strange movie to say the least. I give it 5/10 stars because I can appreciate the situation the little girl was in. I mean, it seemed like a good imaginative story line, but I just couldn't get into all the spells and magic and odd creatures and stuff like that. I thought Castle In The Sky was a much better movie.

I give it 6/10 stars. It was pretty decent, but an 8.7? Wow. That rating says it's one of the best movies of all time, and I can't really agree with that. It has good acting and a decent plot, but that's about it. For a mystery movie, it wasn't too mysterious. On the plus side, it stars Grace Kelly who is a timeless beauty.

***POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD***

First off, I felt this movie just dragged on and was way too long. It was bogged down by needless filler scenes and subplots. One example would be Vera Farmiga's role. If you erase her character from the script entirely, it wouldn't have made a difference in the end product. And that's a shame because she's a very talented actress but wasn't given much to do in this movie really. Another thing is the amount of time spent in the beginning showing our lead characters in the academy while flashing forward to conversations in the present. Honestly, that all could've been trimmed out and wouldn't have hurt the movie at all. Then, there's some of the acting. I think Matt Damon is a talented actor also, but I feel like he put forth a mediocre performance here. And I don't know if that was his fault or the writer's fault. Nicholson has a tendency to ham up a lot of scenes, almost as if he was crossing over into cartoon character territory. It wasn't a bad performance, just not the right one for this movie. Also, there were scenes involving his character that were 100% useless in terms of the story (like every extremely brief scene with his mystery wife who just kind of appears and disappears and we never learn anything about her; or the cocaine induced sex scene with the two hookers...; or the scene where he tells Costigan he's stupid for not going to school or making something of his life, instead of being in HIS gang). I digress, but I think the worst performance might have to go to Wahlberg, and I feel like this has to be the writer's or director's fault because Wahlberg's character is reduced down to nothing but a foul-mouthed A-hole who doesn't have one scene that actually resembles a real life human being. It is one of the most idiotic and eyeroll inducing performances I have ever seen. The only good one here was DiCaprio who I felt played his role well with what he was given, and might have been the only character in the entire movie that I could sympathize for because none of the other characters were developed or fleshed out enough to even care about their inevitable "shocking" demise. Which brings me to the storyline, which is a total mess and paced really awkwardly. But that's okay. What do we do to tie up a messy plot? Kill off all the main characters! There we go. Problem solved!
