Popular films you think are overrated?

[iswhois]

Without the risk of this turning into a huge debate/slanging match. What are some films that everyone loves but you think are overrated

I'll start with True Romance

Love Actually.

Shawshank Redemption. I watched it for the first time last week and yeah ... it’s a decent film but not as amazing as people make it out to be!

Dirty Dancing

English Patient.

The Greatest Showman, Dirty Dancing and Bridget Jones.

Dirty dancing
The Joker (wasn’t that good I thought)

Just about everything on Netflix my sil recommends. He rarely watches TV and some of the quality stuff on BBC in particular is better. He refuses to believe this until he watched Broadchurch for the first time recently. I also recommended Keeping Faith but he is still refusing that. I find it bizarre, is it some kind of snobbery.

Love Actually is cringeworthy. About a Boy is a truer representation of Hugh Grant, he said so himself.

Harry Potter
Star Wars
Fast and Furious
Spiderman
Mamma Mia
Green Mile

I could go on

Avatar. Pretty CGI, shite storyline and annoying characters.

The Godfather (nothingy), Avatar (so long) and Mama Mia (oh dear). My taste is probably a bit odd though.

The revenant- complete wanky bollocks.

3hrs of looking at trees and lakes.

Bear fight was decent so 99% shite.

La la land. It bored me stupid.

Titanic

Another vote for Titanic, I actually fell asleep and when I woke up it still hadn't sunk.

I tend to dislike 'worthy' films, the ones with a very blatent message, I generally want to be entertained by a film.

Avatar, Pearl Harbour, love Actually, pretty woman

Frozen

inception.

I watched it when it came out and found it boring, all special effects and very little actual story. I tried it agin recently just in case I had missed something as so many people rave about it, I got half way through. It's just terrible and as a die hard Leo fan that's hard to say

Pulp Fiction

A star is born, everyone went on about how amazing it was. Just didnt get the hype at all!

Already mentioned but I watched Pretty Woman a few weeks ago and couldn't believe how it became such a cult film.
Likewise Sleeping with the Ememy.

Raging Bull

At what point can we turn this into an argument? Someone has just called The Godfather over-rated and I feel that is argument worthy ... 😁

Gladiator

Fight club

La la land. Nearly fell asleep.
