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

Mama Mia, Love Actually, Star Wars, La La Land and Grease.

There are quite a few of my all time favourites mentioned here lol
I think Dirty Dancing and Pretty Woman are v over rated.

I think Elf is overrated and DH thinks The Full Monty is.

Definitely a matter of taste, I love some of the films already mentioned here! But didn't rate Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Titanic, The Departed, loads more

The Revenant
Dirty Dancing
Scarface

Love Actually
Four weddings and a funeral
Bridget Jones Diary (Bridget was feisty and funny and ‘couldn’t give a shit’ in the book. She was such a pathetic drip in the movie. The blue soup incident in the book had me crying with laughter. It was just eye rolling in the movie).
Dirty Dancing
Inglorious Bastards
Lord of the Rings trilogy

The Sound of Music

(runs and ducks for cover)

I fell asleep watching the Greatest Showman. Drooling and everything.

I cannot believe that some people think the shawshank redemption is shit/overrated.

It has great acting, brilliant score, an all star cast, great dialogue, superb storyline, great cinematography etc. etc.. It’s stood the test of time too.

I agree with the person upthread though who said that generally, if the critics like it and it won an Oscar then I wont like it.

Surprised to see so many mentions for the Greatest Showman, purely because I didnt think it was well rated in the first place.

The Big Lebowski for me.

Kill bill - all of them

The Big Lebowski for me
Ah see I loved that. I suppose it would be odd if we all liked the same. Many new films are so bland at least films like Greatest Showman have some quality even if it wasn't for me.

The Notebook.

The English Patient
Titanic
Dunkirk
Bohemian Rhapsody
Dirty Dancing

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

I felt the same about The Revenant, which I thought was brilliant.

The big lebowski yes I agree with that, essentially a Stoners wet dream!

Blair witch project. Really dont get the hype about how people were shaking and crying in the cinema. Load of old toss.

Mama Mia was awful I thought .Disappointed as really like Abba but felt that Meryl Streep was miscast and the whole premise of sleeping with 3 guys around the same time just didnt ring true for me at all. She is just so wholesome !

The joker

I wasn't keen on either mamma Mia films , but the scenery is worth the terrible story and singing.
I thought I'd hate The Revenant but I really liked it and it's not my kind of film usually!
The breakfast club is a terrible film but people seem to love it. ? ?

I love mama Mia. It’s my to go to film if I’m really down

I also love the marvel films

But I can’t bring myself to watch Star Wars

I liked La la Land (didn’t love it though) and Lost in Translation is a favourite of mine.

Agree with The Greatest Showman, bored me to tears but the kids liked it.

My contribution is the James Bond films. All of them.

Bridget Jones
Forest Gump
Chitty Chitty bang bang
Love actually
Notting Hill
Not a film but primes this is us.

Chitty Chitty bang bang

HOW DARE YOU!!!
