DAR Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I'm guessing you've likely never watched a film earlier than 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 About half of my movies are before 2000s actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 I noticed that the "overrated movie" thread is 2x as long as the "underrated" one. After almost 2 decades of perusing message boards, I've come to believe the reason has something to do with human nature (and of course the anonymity of the internet).

AniNate Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I noticed that the "overrated movie" thread is 2x as long as the "underrated" one. After almost 2 decades of perusing message boards, I've come to believe the reason has something to do with human nature (and of course the anonymity of the internet). The movies that get more attention are usually the ones that get good reviews. You can't say a movie's underrated if you haven't seen it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Easily Amour, and I'll add it to the most overrated of all time list, not just this year. I've never been so blindsided by a film I was expecting to be great in my whole life. All the hype and acclaim for that. Are you fucking kidding me!? The movie literally consists of dozens of 1-2 minute shots of absolute NOTHINGNESS occurring. How many fucking times do we need to see people sitting in silence in chairs, or laying in silence in beds? Or how about vacuuming, washing dishes, and looking at unrelated paintings! OOH stimulating!!! There's no character development to that, and if people think there is they're imagining it in their own heads. There's a difference between slow and developmental and slow for the sake of being slow. Jesus, I can't imagine how such a movie could get this kind of acclaim. And apparently neither could my theater since no less than 5 people walked out, and 75% were asleep by the end from my quick survey of the theater.

Sims Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I too found the 1940s acting in Argo very jarring. Who taught these buffoons how to act? Stanislavski? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) No way Jessica Chastain should get Best Actress. Her performance was too understated to warrant a nomination IMO. Edited February 3, 2013 by lilmac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Lincoln Lincoln Lincoln Lincoln Lincoln Lincoln Lincoln Lincoln Lincoln Lincoln This thing is gonna win BP most likely when Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, and Django Unchained are all much better films. Seriously, Lincoln is like another Dances With Wolves thing in Hollywood. Hes been done too many times on film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I found Lincoln to be extremely boring. I admit, Daniel Day Lewis had a great performance, but in my opinion there are better movies out there that at least get some emotion out from you (feel sorry for characters, cry, laugh... or, to compare it with Lincoln, keeps you awake). Spielberg didn't give anything that would actually make the viewer give it's full attention to the movie. It's interesting at the beginning, but then... *Yawn* The only scene that actually came at the right moment (just when I nearly fall asleep) was the scene when that guy wanted to threaten that other guy with the gun and missed. "You son of a bitch" and kicks the dirt towards him. That made me laugh and kept me awake, and it makes me thing that Spielberg knew people would get there and put that scene so it would keep them awake. I know this is going to get a lot of hate, but this is how I feel about the movie. Edited February 9, 2013 by ChD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Not really when its won like every precursor out there. But the Academy like to be different. They are a snobby bunch and Lincoln is the sort of film Snobby Bastards like to praise.Hopefully you're right and im wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Argo- OK, but nothing special and certainly not one of the best of the year. Beasts Of The Southern Wild- The characters and acting were good, but the story was quite boring really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 The end credits for Seven Psycopaths are running as I type. I am hoping for an end-credits scene which will make this worth the hype. Highly overrated. One of the most overrated for 2012 films. I suppose it was a dark comedy but wasn't very funny and the writing could have been much better. It felt like a poor mans Coen Brothers.

ACCA Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) The Avengers by far, Zero Dark Thirty, Cabin in The Woods, Argo, Lincoln, Skyfall, Chronicle. All in that order. I just realized two of those films are Joss Whedon films, how ironic. Even more ironic is that I'm a big fan of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, yet Whedon's move into big budget Hollywood films has been disappointing to me so far.

Deathlife Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Skyfall. The movie was Dark Knight lite. The Dark Knight Rises wasn't over rated by the general public but Nolan's fans generally do. It was a very good movie but far short of a great one.
