Magic Mike

(9 Votes, 295 points)

 

Mike Lane is a thirty-year old living in Tampa,Florida. By day he works as a roofer whilst at night, as Magic Mike, he is the star attraction of the Kings of Tampa, a group of male strippers. Secretly he wants out in order to further a projected furniture-making business but his credit rating precludes a bank loan for this despite his considerable savings. One night Adam, a teen-aged work-mate of Mike, follows him to the club and, when one of the acts is unable to go on,he is prevailed upon to strip - becoming a huge hit. However success goes to his head and his foolish actions not only threaten to jeopardize his sister Brooke's relationship with Mike but Mike's ambitions as well.

I'm just speechless.

[Jawa]

Uh.... What?

 

You know, I think by saying it's overrated, we are actually rating it higher.

Why Critics Think It's Overrated -

 

"After years of buildup and prequels, "The Avengers" is merely average." - Whitney Seibold, CraveOnline

 

"The filmmakers play a conservative game, not setting out to make a great movie but simply making sure not to screw it up an entire franchise." - Kirk Honeycutt, honeycuttshollywood.com

 

Why Box Office Analysts Think It's Overrated -

 

"The biggest problem with the lack of surprises is that the fights in the climax have little ebb and flow. At no point in an action scene does good-bad-good stuff happen. There is no suspense. There's no weight, and therefore no momentum. This could easily have been rectified if the proper writers were hired as consultants. Hollywood cannot make intelligent action-ish popcorn movies." - luffy

 

"It's a decent summer popcorn flick, but I'm honestly a bit surprised by all the raving. It's a film that entertains and looks good on screen, but really has very little else to offer." - mattmav45

 

Fun Fact - Magic Mike winning was a joke and this was the actual winner.

Take away the top 6 and you actually have a somewhat respectable list. ROTK overrated??? Bahahahaha!!!My most overrated film the last few years was Captain America. Generic, rehashed, and predictable.

What position is The Avengers on?

[The Stingray]

Great job, Panda!

 

TDK should be number 1 as far as I'm concerned. People on here treat it as if it was handed down to Moses on Mount Sinai.
