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.

Lord of the rings. Tried to watch it 3 times and get board 30 mins in. Haven't tried any other either and I do really like fantasy usually. Massive WoW fan etc.

Dd pretends she likes the LOTR films the new ones cos she likes Martin Freeman she saw the last 1 yesterday admitted it was dire FINALLY dd

Some of the films mentioned on this thread are my favourites

Don't think anyone has mentioned the absolute horror that was The Time Machine.

Put me off Guy Pearce forever and I actually slept in the cinema it was THAT BAD!
I am even annoyed now that I have been reminded of its utter shiteness!

LOTR - dire 9 hours of walking, fighting,walking, fighting.
The Hobbit- turned a good book into another 9 hours of more walking, fighting, walking drivel.

Lost in Translation- pretend arty creepy shite
Love Actually- worst film ever
Vicky Cristina Barcelona- Lord, how I hated that film. Scarlett Johansson was terrible.
The Skin I Live In - it was like a sort of sub standard Tales of the Unexpected where nothing was actually that unexpected.

Inception. I've tried to watch it about five times and am still clueless.

Grand Budapest Hotel was unwatchable for me. I managed five minutes and off it went.

District 9. Everyone was raving about it. I actually feel asleep in the cinema then woke up and left twenty minutes before the end.

On the other hand Out of Africa is one of my favourite movies ever. It's just beautiful.

I watched the original Spanish version of the skin I live in was so weird I couldn't take my eyes off it

I dunno if there has been an English Language version

Open water, I'll never get those wasted hour back.

American Beauty - I spent the entire movie waiting for the plot to show up
Lost in Translation - ditto

Battleship. I watched that last night. 'Starring Rhianna and Liam Neeson'.

They should be fucking ashamed.

After I had watcher 'HER' I enjoyed going round telling everyone that I had watched it so they didnt have to .I had sacrificed my own time for them watching this utter shite.

I was badgered into watching Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind by a friend who thought I needed to have this film in my memory. I didn't. I really didn't.

Lincoln is brain draining. It's the costumes that's good .

I loved Lost in Translation.

My overrated list would be:

Moulin Rouge - what a turd of a film

Hot Fuzz - watched with DP, we liked Shaun of the Dead and love things like Airplane!, Spinal Tap etc, but with Hot Fuzz I sniggered literally ONCE in the whole film and DP not at all. We were both just

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - gave up about an hour in as it was putting me to sleep and I wasn't even tired

DP would add Mike Leigh's Naked; I disagree, I like it a lot, but he can't take the unremitting bleakness of it.

Thought of another:

Gangs Of New York. Lost the will to live in that one

I really enjoyed gangs of new york even though it was on 3 days and cameron Diaz was shit its the only DDL film I have enjoyed

Seems like Scarlett Johansen is the new Keira Knightley/Kate Winslet object of hate on MN!!

I loved Her.

Agree that American Hustle was a mess. A whole host of good actors, acting well but absolutely no coherent narrative.

Yes to Gravity and Tinker Tailor... dire!

Bloke bonk mountain was alright though.

My sister said the new stephen Hawkins film is dull

Hehe Bloke bonk mountain

I like scarlett except when she does perfume ads

People hate Keira on MN? Oh why? She's so lovely.

Gravity
A Good Day to Die Hard
PS, I Love You

I liked Brokeback Mountain though.

Mamma mia has to be the worst film I have sat through.
