Jessie Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Like I said, lets call all the big movies of last year the overrated ones lol. This thread is a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShouldIBeHere Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I still don't get why you refuse to understand that a high-grossing movie that gets a lot of attention will naturally be on "most-overrated" lists if it is also "critically" acclaimed (either by critics or the users here). Given that I disliked AS it is an obvious choice for me, without its financial success playing any part in this.

James Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 GotG, American Sniper, Big Hero 6 and The Lego Movie easily come to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish people would be a little more imaginative rather than picking the same successful movies every fucking year. its a way for all the hipsters to shit on the popular movies annually, if it makes you all feel better then go ahead I guess. American sniper had 75% on RT, not amazing, just pretty good, had it grossed around 90-100m like expected it wouldn't have gotten a mention but now its become a big success people just love to jump on that bandwagon of hate lol. I have a problem with these threads because it always consists of the top 10 grossing movies of the year as the most popular choices, its pointless and quite frankly, a buzz kill.

ShouldIBeHere Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Bandwagon of hate? Hipsters? Where the hell do you see this? If one cannot understand the hype or the positive reactions towards a movie, than it is the natural choice for such a slogan. Of course it will always be a movie admired/liked/loved by most. Otherwise it wouldn't be overrated (in that person's view). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it wouldn't be overrated (in that person's view). But its just so damn predictable, ever year its the highest grossing movie with the most mentions, even when TDK came out. Transformers 4 is the only exception because people here actually believe the majority hate Bay as much as they do therefore it earned what it did simply because its part of an established franchise. Take away all the expected franchise grosses at the top of the chart and you are left with the surprise hits that get all the mentions, its the same pattern every year and people don't even elaborate why they think movie A is overrated. Its a buzz kill, there's no fun it that, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solaris Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Probably going to get lynched for this... But Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, whilst very very good, wasn't the masterpiece that many made it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK007 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm sure you know what the word "overrated" means. So, no surprises that it will normally come from films that are received well and do well that people can't get into. What do you want to see on these lists? Ride Along, Transformer 4, Maleficent & Planes: Fire and Rescue? Or because they have high grosses, and you think that's unfair, maybe you want it to be Transcendence, Brick Mansions and Winter's Tale? Or, if you don't give a shit, then why are you here making the same comment? Don't come in and say "indie flicks/Oscar flicks" because those always make the list. Why do you even care anyway? Overrated: Guardians of the Galaxy, Big Hero 6, Captain America: TWS, Fault in Our Stars and Gone Girl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overrated: Guardians of the Galaxy, Big Hero 6, Captain America: TWS, Fault in Our Stars and Gone Girl. I just think you lot are overly negative without good reason. It's just a list of popular movies without an explanation as to why you find it overrated, what don't you like about these films? At least discuss why rather than just listing the names of the popular movies. There are some really popular movies I dislike but I wouldn't call them overrated because I can see the appeal in them. Take harry potter for example, I think they are boring, poorly acted kiddie fare but I couldn't bring myself to call them overrated because I can definitely see the appeal and why people rate them so highly. Lego movie/GOTG are pure popcorn blockbusters that are aimed for people who just want to switch their brains off and have fun for a couple of hours, not looking for anything too serious. They are build just for laid back entertainment, no-one thinks GOTG is a masterpiece, it's just fun and if I didn't like it I still wouldn't call it overrated, just not my taste whilst I can easily see the appeal. To be fair, I can see why Lego has been mentioned given the fact so many people have called it a masterpiece but the mention of GOTG is just baffling Edited January 28, 2015 by jessie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmac Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Sorry to say but Boyhood. It was good, don't get me wrong. I gave it a A- but it wasn't the best movie of the year for me (I liked Interstellar, GOTG, Lego Movie, CA2 and Sniper better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23IsEverywhere Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Lucy-Most people seem to think it was good not great, whereas I think it is pretentious, moronic, dull, and depressing the only F of the year Birdman- I think this film is either rather good or mediocre depending on the day, and the editing is marvelous, but I just never see it as an amazing film X-Men:DoFP- probably the only movie that I can simultaneously give an A to and call overrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
