So the thing about making a overrated list is that most the time a movie or book or what ever can only become overrated by being good. Or at least having something good going on for them. Otherwise things at the very most get a cult following.
So when making a list of the most overrated movies you must understand that allot of these movies are good, some not so much. So the title of overrated is not a indication that they get to much attention for what they are.
Honorable Mention.
Pulp Fiction.
-I am actually a passing fan of this movie and it dose actually have allot going for it, but it also has a odd amount of drooling idiot fan boys... Really everything done by Tarantino.
Fargo.
-It stuns me how many people consider this a great movie, it's just boring, slightly amusing wile doing it but simply boring.
The Graduate.
-This is not a good movie. Not a good movie at all. The main character is a little bitch, he is whinny and self entitled. The stories tries to make the parents out to be some kind of bad guys, but there not. So they don't get that there son is "deep" which he is not. They are still not bad parents. And the ending sucks. Not only dose it suck, it started a trend of suckie endings in movies.
#10: 2001: A space Odyssey.
-So first movie off the bat I have to admit that I totally love this movie. Really any Stanley Kubrick movie is going to have something good about it. But this movie is kind of boring in that it drags on, and its a bit to cryptic, again a VERY good movie, but allot of people who get the movie contest there is way more there then there really is. And that you just don't "get it" if you don't love the movie.
So the real problem with this movie is that allot of its fans use it to make themselves feel more important then they really are.
#9: Scarface.
-I know allot of people like this movie, and by that I mean allot of people say they like this movie but have not seen it in forever. Al Pacino is overrated as a actor for the most part. (Much like Jack Nicolas) Which is not to say they are not enjoyable to see in some movies. But you always know what to expect from them. He simply screams and curses in most of his movies, and this is no different.
There are better Mafia movies, really this is just a famous movie because it was the first big ultra violence movies to come out. If this movie was released as a new movie today, It would be a flop, or at the very least not that well received.
#8: Top gun.
-Right... So right off the start, this movie is gay... No two bones about this, watch it again, you will spend a huge amount of time trying to figure out when Cruise and Reeves will kiss already.
This really isn't much of a guy movie ether, its really just a stupid movie about balls and how big they are. And with few exceptions its boring, It's not romantic, and its storyline is largely pointless.
And talking about the Story line, its total BS, basically every point in this movie is a bullshit moment, EVERY PLOT POINT IS STUPID AS HELL. There are only two reasons that this movie did well when it came out. First: Soundtrack. Second: Russians. Its like read dawn, only its totally sucks, instead of just being silly but well executed.
#7: Erin Brockovich.
-This movie is kind of like Patch Adams in that the person its based on should punch the person who made the screen play right in the damn mouth. Less then patch Adams in that the movie is actually much closer to true life events, and much more in that Julie Roberts is the main actress. Don't get me wrong its not like I hate the women or anything, but I just want to punc Erin Brockovich in this movie every time she is on screen.
#6: Oceans. (Enter Number)
-OK so this is actually a pretty entertaining movie. (The first one)
But after that it gets old, and stupid, and its not like this is a great movie ether, its just OK. its just fun to watch, that's good, but it dose not make this a great movie.
#5: Blade Runner.
-Again this is a good movie, I would even for to very good movie.
But its largely ruined, WHY you might ask?
Because Decker totally misses the point of the entire movie.
He gets told why the robot... thingy doesn't kill him and totally misses the point, thus invalidating the entire point to the movie. It would be just like... ... ... Like Decker not getting the point of the movie, I can't even come up with a good comparison.
#4: Titanic...
-OK so I just need to say a few things.
I am actually a pretty big Leo fan... no I mean it, I have never seen him act in a movie that he did not do well in. I think the guy has allot of range. Also this movie is good, its well acted and its well executed... Now that being said its not 2.2 billion dollars good. And just making a movie about the Titanic sinking is a little distressful, and then there is... THAT SONG...
This is a boring and insulting love story, but a well executed boring and insulting love story, A well acted boring and insulting love story. But really the amount of attention this movie gets is just retarded. To the point that I am openly hostile to Titanic fans.
#3: Napoleon Dynamite.
-This is another movie where the fans are the problem and not so much the movie, but the movie is pretty bad, I really think the maker was more surprised that people liked this more then anything. Because this movie really gives off so bad its good vibes, not "O its so deep" no. no its not, its stupid, its stupid in a good way but still overrated.
#2: King Kong.
-Really any version.
The original was famous because of special effects, that's it. And for there time they where VERY impressive, the peter Jackson version was actually good, but still not that good. This movie gets WAY to much credit for being the first to do something.
#1: Avatar....
O James Camron. You can say allot about James but two things you need to admit is that James Camron has never made a BAD movie, and that James Camron always makes money with his movies. But Avatar I don't get. I mean really. whats the draw? It looks REALLY nice, and by that I mean the effects are good, because really it doesn't look that good.
And the love story / story is BORING so so boring, two hours of ZZZzz Inducing drivel just so we can see the future equivalent of blackwater blow up a tree. I'm not even going to go into the 'Avatar is dances with wolves in space' yes we know, James already said that.
And I wont even go into every plot hole. Because really you can derail the entire movie in about a dozen places, And I wont start to point out how the Victory at the end of the movie basically only mad things worse. No I will just say that this SHOULD NOT BE THE HIGHEST GROSSING MOVIE OF ALL TIME.
