Most overrated film in IMDb top 10

Recommended Posts

Which film in the IMDb top 10 do you think least deserves to be in the top 10? Discuss.

My pick: Return of the King.

Great movie, one of my personal favorites, but not top 10. FOTR deserves its place.

IMDb top 10:

    [*]The Shawshank Redemption

    [*]The Godfather

    [*]The Godfather: Part II

    [*]Pulp Fiction

    [*]The Good, the Bad And the Ugly

    [*]12 Angry Men

    [*]Schindler's List

    [*]The Dark Knight

    [*]The Lord of the Ring: The Return of the King

    [*]Fight Club

The Godfathers are good but to me they are a tad over rated. But ROTK has no business being anywhere near the top of any list. It's too long, to choppy and is one of the most over rated best picture winners of the last 20 years.

I basically agree with you with two exceptions: I think The Shawshank Redemption is overrated. At least, I think it does not deserve to be in top 10. It is a great movie, but not a top 10. And The Dark Knight is fighting in my own list to get into top 10. I do not think it is so overrated. Of course, it is just my opinion. Edited by peludo

The Godfather - A strong story very well written, directed and acted, but The Godfather Part II one-ups its predecessor on practically every level. Scope, acting, subtlety, dialogue, dramatic power, cinematography, you name it.The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - I wasn't invested emotionally in 2 of the 3 main characters, which made it much harder to care about the outcome of the final duel. I also couldn't stand plot contrivances which enabled Eastwood's character magically escape death in the last possible moment... at least twice. A very good film overall, but Once Upon a Time in the West is Leone's masterwork.The Dark Knight - Nolan's direction makes it a gripping, powerful, atmospheric and unrelenting thriller for the entirety of its running time, but after a few viewings, the numerous story issues are impossible to ignore.All the others deserve it IMO.
