DAR Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I predict that the inevitable adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey will be OVERRATED - whenever it comes out. Yeah but aren't the books terrible to begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) The Grey was just boring and depressing....Most audiences would agree. I thought it was gripping and devastating. A rewatch cemented it as a great film for me. Edited December 21, 2012 by Gopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I watched it latter on this year when I started to grow bored of depressing films.Rather preferred he killed the wolves and got home and saved a friend and be more feel good like Taken 1.Grey is a better made film but not as fun a lets say Taken 1.

JackO Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yes, finally saw Ted last night and would immediately add it to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 The Hunger GamesTedThe Dark Knight RisesAll decent movies but nothing special and really flawed.As far as critics' reviews go Killing Them Softly and Seven Psychopaths. I really wanted to like them but i couldn't.that's interesting. i really wanted to see Killing Them Softly and 7 Psychopaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I really enjoyed Seven Psychopaths, but I was lukewarm on Killing Them Softly. I get what the filmmakers were trying to get at in the latter, but it didn't have much of an effect on me. That said, it was still very well made, and even though some viewers will inevitably complain about the abruptness of the ending, I dug the hell out of Brad Pitt's rant before the cut to black.Re The Grey being boring and depressing: I thought the film moved somewhat slowly, but it never bored me. The latter observation, however, is spot-on, and I actually think it's a positive quality of the film. I appreciated the fact that Liam Neeson finally got to do another really introspective performance after doing the action hero type and picking up paychecks for lame supporting roles.Getting back into the spirit of this thread, I guess I'll throw in The Amazing Spider-Man. It's a weaker choice since there are definitely detractors on the good ol' interwebs (no pun intended), but most people I have talked to away from the computer really enjoyed it; some even thought it was better than the original Sam Raimi film. I didn't, and it typically seems to raise eyebrows when I express this opinion. Then I sound like I'm trolling when I say I even (slightly) preferred Spider-Man 3 to the new one (which is technically true, even though I think there are some pretty major issues with both films).

Lordmandeep Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 ASM was not good but it was way better then Spider Man 3 and it has a decent foundation to build off from.Add in a better villian and we see more of Spider Man and I think ASM2 will pass 300 million with ease...

Webslinger Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I hope the sequel is really good. I really enjoy the character and the universe in general (not to mention the cast and crew involved with this particular iteration), so it's not like I'm rooting against the new franchise.But the sequel has to be a complete film. Unlike this time around, I don't want to have to wait until the third film to see how the second one ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 I would probably place ASM in the underrated thread because there was a great deal of skepticism and hesitation before the film. Alot of people didn't think it would work. It exceeded many people's expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmac Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 It's depressing seeing TDKR on so many peoples list. TA I can stand but TDKR, for some reason I don't want it to be true. I have been in denial when it comes to TDKR. It is a great movie but not "slightly below TDK" as I led myself to believe. It's slightly better than Begins. Again, a great movie but a little below expectations. I wouldn't put it on my list of most overrated films but I think it is overrated to some extent.

AniNate Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 If you hated the movie, I'd think you would consider 74% pretty high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Cloud Atlas because a lot of people thought it was a masterpiece and a lot of people thought it was steaming pile of shit.Oh wait, this is the "overrated" thread. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
