chasmmi Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The next three films to come later have a combined 18 Oscar Nominations between them. 2 of them are in the top 20 All Time Adjusted Box Office list and the other is in the top 50 on the IMDB top 250 list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 25. Superman I and II "You'll believe a man can fly!"breathlessly promised the tagline. Eh, maybe back in the 70s, but even to a kid growing up in the 80s the VFX were already fairly dated. There's a nice laid-back feel to the first 40 minutes of SUPERMAN I (after the silly Krypton stuff), but the whole thing is pretty light-weight, and so corny as well. Christopher Reeve still does the best mix of Clark Kent and Supes, but the script doesn't give him much to do and the drama and tension is really inert. The whole "kiss everything away" moment in SUPERMAN II is just awful, and really, most of both movies basically play like the "dark Spiderman" bit from Raimi's reviled SM3 (except done seriously). 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 24. Inception BWAAAAHMMMM Look, I like this movie. Quite a lot, actually. But it's been placed on this absurdly high pedestal by crazed Nolan fanboys who will accept no God other than their own. It's a very clever concept and the action scenes are wonderfully done, and Nolan assembled a great cast... but, like he's tended to do with his recent blockbusters, he takes a brute force approach to storytelling. Exposition-filled speech after exposition-filled speech, characters who do nothing but wander around like the audience's Mary Sue, asking "Why?" ... the first hour is really inert. Great action movie. Lots of fun. One of the greatest movies ever made? Not even close. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Gary Scott Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Inception us in my top 10 all time so obviously I disagree 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Inception definitely deserves a place. I'm going to do a list of overrated movies and I wasn't sure whether to include Inception or not, as I do really like the film - but I don't think it's anything as perfect or amazing as many people seem to believe.

One post in and you're already blowing it! But you redeemed yourself a bit with Inception. Edited January 21, 2015 by TalismanRing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) 23. The Goonies For some reason, this mid-80s Spielberg-esque effort is beloved and adored by every kid who grew up in the '80s. Everyone except me. It's okay, but nothing that special, and nothing really that other movies in that era did better. Even as a kid, willing to like pretty much everything, I didn't think it was all that.
