BoxOffice.com's Official 25 Most Overrated Movies Post-2000

[baumer]

I think there should be a TDKR and Avengers rule for this thread.  

 

The rule should state:  No one can criticize anyone for mentioning these two films.  Due to the loonie nature of both fan bases, they cannot be trusted to not hijack another thread, therefore, they are banned from any kind of comments about said films being mentioned.

 

Not kidding either.  I think this will be a fun thread but I don't think any of wants to sit through another 50 pages of BKB and Square fighting and then Dash coming in and throwing in his two cents and so on.

Here are some of the films on my list.  As you may or may not notice, there will be films on here that I actually like, but still think are over rated.  Over rated doesn't have to mean that you hate them or even dislike them, it just means, they are thought of a little too highly.

The Dark Knight Rises

12 Years a Slave

The Artist

The Hunger Games

Skyfall

Remember they have to be post 2000. So Scream 2, Saving Private Ryan, The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, Lethal Weapon, and E.T are not eligible.

Oh, I didn't notice it was post 2000 either.

[CoolioD1]

Oh, shit I didn't even notice that. My hate just overwhelms me.

There is a very easy way to ensure that. Don't pin this in the main forum. 

 

Once the 36 worst movies was moved from the main forum to the speakeasy, all comments stopped. I think that gained 20 pages in 2 days pinned in the main discussion forum, and only 1 page in the following month and a bit it was pinned in the speakeasy.
