What is the most overrated film you've ever seen? Can I suggest Her?

[EachandEveryone]

WTF was that about? It's taken me weeks to watch it. It was up for Oscars as well.

Has Eternal sunshine been mentioned yet? I really want to like that maybe I should give it another go.

I also don't get the appeal of Dirty Dancing and Grease and totally agree about Pirates of the Caribbean!

Oh come on. Gravity was great. Loads of tension, great performances and looked utterly amazing and unique on the big screen.

Mama Mia!! Meryl Streep's red nose and Julie Water's idiotic clowning around, made me puke.

Worst film ever has to be Skyline.

Utter drivel ticking every possible cliche in the book. Apparently the producers below the budget on the special effects so the whole film takes place inside 1 building.

Gravity was daft (fire extinguisher- I ROARED), but I had palpitations all the way through, it was soooooo exciting

and Blair Witch?

It. Was. Terrifying

you people must have nerves of steel dammit

I'm praying no one ever casts a film with Scarlett Johanssen and Sandra Bullock in.

Some years ago I went on a date with this sort of bookish, film-buff bloke. We went to see this arty-farty French film called 'secret things'.. I don't actually have the words to describe how terrible it was. I just kept giggling, much to the disgruntlement of the other 3 people who were as stupid as we were and actually sat through this crap.. The worse part was, the date man liked it and as we were walking to the pub, he started lecturing me about semantics and the symbolism of this and that, and the challenging the viewers expectations and all that shit. It was utter, utter bollocks! He emailed me the next day and said we're not really compatible.

Gravity I found pointless and boring, I just could not care about them.
50 First Dates is so creepy: making light romantic comedy of severe and incurable neurological disability.
But my worst ever, actually made me feel nauseaous and light-headed: The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover. It's from ages ago now. If you have never heard of it: don't watch it!

It was the ending of Gravity that really pissed me off. After floating about in space in her underwear, she finally lands in water, manages to get out of her flight suit and gets herself onto dry land under grey skies - with nothing but moorland and hills surrounding her, wearing nothing but knickers and a crop top. Does she get rescued, or what? Am I over-thinking this, or what?

Hangover 3.

The franchise had run out of steam by the middle of the second film. The third is an utterly cynical exercise in milking the market to the last brass button.

Agree with War Horse too. It's known as Very Very Poor Horse in this house

That said there's quite a few on here I do like

By the end of Gravity I just didn't care tbh!

SirChenjin Totally agree, I must overthink too. I kept waiting for the excitement to kick in, but it never did for me. When I get excited and feel the suspense is there with a film, I am rigid and grip the armrests. I remember looking through my pick 'n mix for a red chewy, not a black one, whilst it was all going on. Visually fantastic though I agree. I also remember thinking ... so was George alive or what... can't be arsed to even think about it!

Scarlet Johannsen seems to be a running theme!

'Amelie' was puke enducing too.

Puke inducing even ..

Of course Clooney's return was all in her imagination at the end. It was her creating and willing conversation that encounter in her head that gave her the incentive to overcome the thing that held her back and do her utmost to save herself.

Really SirChenjin!!!! Seeing S Bullocks in her undies offended you ? She escapes imminent death in outer space, makes it back down to earth through the Earth's atmosphere, lands safely but you're worried whether she gets picked up or not by a rescue team? I wasn't fearing for her anymore after that. Really!!!

Kill Bill and Gravity. Really awful.

I am suspicious of any film with a one word 'abstract concept' title.

Anchorman! It was cool to think it was funny once, but it's not really that funny. And I normally LOVE Will Ferrell.

I actually love a lot of the films that have been mentioned here, but then again, I love films where nothing much happens.

Captain Phillips is a true story. I wouldn't rate that as terrible.

But, it may have been mentioned, but I cant even be bothered to remember the name - it won so many Oscars a few years back, the bloke who was killing everyone off with compressed air tank or some such thing...

Joes Apartment.... seriously bad. All about talking cockroaches...

Any Avengers or X-men movies.... I haven't stayed awake through one of them yet.......

No Country For Old Men, highlighta?

I am legend - Wiill smith. Infected dogs, turned into bloodthirsty manic monsters, Will searching for a cure .

War of the worlds - Tom Cruise. Where do I begin? Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish.

Zodiac

Tinker tailor soldier spy

'Eat, pray, love' - I really resent the time I wasted watching it

I love Lost in Translation.

I only managed about 10 minutes of Moulin Rouge though-so disappointed.
