rockNrollaDIM Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Crazy, Stupid, LoveHow exactly is Hanna overrated when it got plenty of bad reviews here and didn't exactly light up the box office... Critics were mostly mixed too right and any awards attention has been for the amazing score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It's fresh; that opens it up to be considered overrated.Since it's impossible to determine how everyone felt about the movie, I'm going by the Tomatometer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I strongly dislike the term 'overrated', but the praise for Bridesmaids definitely wasn't in line with the quality of the film. People seemed to be so amazed that women could be quite funny they went overboard for it. And why does anything Judd Apatow related have to be at least 20 minutes too long?

Hatebox Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I'm adding Drive to the list. Seriously?It may be little more than an aesthetic experience, but it was one of the greatest aesthetic experiences of the year the cinema had to offer.

The ones I thought actually deserved it were Rango, Source Code, The Muppets, 50/50 and Drive Edited January 2, 2012 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Interesting how almost every other person is saying DH2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) As someone who's completely indifferent to Potter but has ended up seeing most of them anyway I found DH2 by far the best of the series in as much as I actually cared about the trio's plight for the first time. Their acting was better and the scale of the franchise finally felt as large and grave as the marketing kept claiming it was. Given DH2's binary grading system its high percentage isn't surprising.

fishstick Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) DH2 isn`t nearly as overrared as is Snape`s breakdown and Rickman performence. That`s what makes DH2 overrated. Seriously, the performance was fine. Nothing more. Fiennes was better. There. This is pure genius. The laugh. Fuckin epic.

Gopher Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 A few more-Rio- Utter crap. CGI has become better than this in the last few years, time for Blue Sky to meet the curveJane Eyre- I love Mia and Fassbender in general, but it's just an okay movie Fast Five- A few terrific setpieces (felt like they were trying to break Newton's third law!), but I was bored by the rest Friends with Benefits- Bloated, mostly unfunny, riffs on the romantic comedy genre while falling into all of its traps Super- Unlike Kick Ass, this was just uncomfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, the performance was fine.This x100. I think fans are letting their love of that character seriously cloud his performance.

fishstick Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 ADM. What a bore, The Jaw was embarrassing and this is the first time I didn`t like Fass in something (I think he was scared that King Kong-size jaw would swallow him when he tried to kiss The Jaw).

BK007 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I agree with Submarine too. Didn't really work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) That's not fair. I love Fiennes' performance in the film, but Rickman is the best for me. He was spectacular during his death scene, and come on, fishnets, didn't you say you cried during the part where he held Lily's dead body?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SacpB6JuTCw Edited January 3, 2012 by Noctis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acab Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It was definately good and it was more about the characters and the social commentary but i never thought that i was watching something special. Especially when Ceasar wasn't on screen. Plus there were a bunch of plot holes.The last 20 minutes completely kills Source Code for me.Thor is not bad but i thought it had a bunch of problems. Fast Five is by far the best in the series but i think it's overrated when it's being considered as one of the best action films of the decade. I mean come on.M:I 4 was a big surprise. Much better than i hoped but the plot is as cliche as it goes and full of holes. If they could manage to cover them a bit better it would easily be my favourite in the series. It's still a great action film though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnY Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Interesting that many people mentioned Midnight in Paris, I didn't care so much about it either. Although it really looks like the kind of film critics and the academy would praise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Midnight was a fluff piece and I think that's what it was intended to be. Most critics just happened to really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
