Movies you hate and get a lot of shit for/Most overrated film you´ve seen.

[Rob Bottin]

Well do you have any? I get a lot of shit because I hate A Clockwork Orange:mad:

I mean, it´s a silly and boring movie from 1971, what´s so fucking masterpiece with it??:confused:

[Doc Faustus]

Here it goes: I didn't like Citizen Kane. It's self indulgent, the characterizations sometimes feel thin and forced, it's too long and the Rosebud trope is manipulative, and in some ways emotionally below the belt. Welles always bothers me because he's so consciously trying to generate a masterpiece that for me, it robs the end result of its significance. There are things I liked a lot about the Trial, which to me is a superior film, but I don't think he's the best.

[VampiricClown]

I didn't care a lot for Dawn Of The Dead.

[Papillon Noir]

I hated Saw 3, I thought it was totally lame. Everyone keeps saying that it's the best of the series, but that movie just had so many problems.

[Roderick Usher]

Haute Tension :mad:

[The Flayed One]

I get a lot of shit for Jaws, Jurassic Park & Scream. They all three do have a common thread, though. They were all WAY overhyped before I got the chance to see them, and in the case of Scream I had already had the ending & a lot of other scenes ruined for me.

[Unaboner3000]

The Exorcist and Halloween are a couple of "classics" that I thought were mediocre. But what can I say....I've never really enjoyed Satan movies or the typical everyday slasher films.

I personally loved Dawn of the Dead, but the person that said they didnt think it was all that great probably hates zombie movies. Everyone has their own particular tastes in film (and books).

[ABnormaL]

I also hated A Clockwork Orange. I had to turn it off not even halfway through. Okay, people can argue that I should have watched it all, but I just couldn't take it anymore, it just sucked for me.

[Despare]

The Blair Witch Project

[DP McCoy]

The Blair Witch Project

Ditto......

[DP McCoy]

the descent i hate this movie but people keep telling me im wrong ...FUCKERS!

You are WRONG Dave:p

[paws the great]

I didn't care a lot for Dawn Of The Dead.

I agree.


I do respect George A Romero's legendary horror history,but the only two films of his I like are The Dark Half and Day of the Dead.

[alkytrio666]

Damn, I do love most of these! Citizen Kane, Dawn of the Dead, The Descent, Jaws?!


I think, obviously, the Saw trilogy is a bit overrated and Hostel flat out sucked. But those are both cliche hate/love films.

Hmm...Ooh! Ooh, I know!

The Royal Tenenbaums. Wes Anderson's a cop out. "My humor is different; if you don't think it's funny, you just don't get it." Yeah...or it isn't funny. Believe me, I know dry humor, I know black humor...but his movies just try too damn hard to be different. The Life Aquatic was a little better, but not much.

[a mccuaig]

Hmm, blair witch project, hated it! I didn't really like Clockwork Orange as well. What people bug me for not liking the most is "Rocky Horror Picture Show". I fell asleep the 1st and the 2nd time I tried to watch it. I give up, not my type of movie I guess. Didn't like Saw either.:rolleyes:

[alkytrio666]

I love The Blair Witch Project and A Clockwork Orange. They're both blazingly original films.

[The_Return]

One word:

Jaws

[Despare]

I love The Blair Witch Project and A Clockwork Orange. They're both blazingly original films.

They were both original yes, and I really enjoyed one of them. :)
A lot of my friends can't believe I don't like the Jackass movies...

[The Mothman]

The Exorcist. Biggest let down ever. friggin laughable.

[Manic1511]

the blair witch project 2 -.-

[The STE]

I only hate North. But some 'classics' that I was dissapointed in:

Rashomon (a solid 4/5 that I was expecting to be a high 5/5)
Haute Tension
The Beyond (this thing gets pimped to no end, and it SUCKS)
Dreamgirls (what's with all the hype? It was a 2 hour movie that felt like 3 hours and had, and I'm not kidding on this, 30 fucking musical numbers. 30 full-length musical numbers in a 130 minute movie, and a lot of them were the same. Okay, fuck it, I'm making a thread about this one)
I'll think of more later

[roshiq]

High Tension
TCM (originaL)

[bwind22]

Phantasm sucked! (All of them!)
The Ring & Ringu
The Ring 2 & Ringu 2
The Grudge & Ju-on
The Grudge 2 & Ju-on 2
The Thing (It wasn't terrible, just terribly over-rated.)
Eraserhead (This had to be one of the most godawful pieces of shit I've ever seen.)

Additionally, in general, I think most ghost movies suck. (But 1 that I did like a lot was The Frighteners.)

[Unaboner3000]

Phantasm sucked! (All of them!)

Bwahaha! Yea, man... they were all garbage...but I assumed we were talking about movies the vast majority of ppl consider to be great. I have never exactly seen a big fan club (or any fan club) for those Phantasm movies.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

Lord of the Rings (all of them)
The Ring
Evil Dead (all of them)
The Exorcist
Jaws

[bwind22]

Bwahaha! Yea, man... they were all garbage...but I assumed we were talking about movies the vast majority of ppl consider to be great. I have never exactly seen a big fan club (or any fan club) for those Phantasm movies.

Oh ask around here at HDC. They are very highly thought of. Until you just spoke up, I was under the impression that I was the only person that hated these pieces of shit.


great film did you see the longer cut ?

Not sure, but probably not. I saw it in the theatre & then my bro got the VHS when it came out. I didn't notice any difference in the two viewings & I can only assume that they were not the extended version.

[bwind22]

How much extra content is there?

[bwind22]

I'll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

[Rob Bottin]

I didn't care a lot for Dawn Of The Dead.

The original or the remake? If you didn´t liked the 1978 version I can only say, join the club.

[Unaboner3000]

I have a friend that absolutely hates Gladiator. WTF! How can any dude not like a friggin' movie like Gladiator? I think some people just disagree to disagree.

[Rob Bottin]

the godfather...DONT HIT ME!!!:eek: ...sorry its very boring and way to long...shut up!

Join the club aswell.:)

[Rob Bottin]

gladheather is great how could he not like it ;)

I´m also no fan of that movie, Braveheart is way better.

[bwind22]

you know what when your at the vid store get masters of horrors pelts too you may like it .

That I won't do. I haven't seen any of the MOH series yet and I'll check them all out at once or buy the season set, but I am not gonna just rent one here & one there. I wanna see them all.

[pinkerton]

Overrated:

Scarface(long and boring)
TCM 2(just fucking dumb)
Scream(teeny-bopper bullshit)
X-Men(shitty adaption)
Being John Malkovich(boring)

[Unaboner3000]

braveheart is great mel did a great job on it and the gore my god for an R movie ...will never happen again .

Yea, Mel got away with alot with Braveheart...and with Passion. Being a big-time hollywood director/actor I am sure helped him getting the R ratings. That being said...Mel has said (about both those films) he would have liked to show even more blood and guts, to better show how war/torture really was in those particular eras. Whew! Glad someone somewhere talked Mel out of showing us what he really wanted us to see.

[bwind22]

Overrated:

Scarface(long and boring)


WHAT?!?!?!?! Scarface? Boring?

It's long, that's true, but I can't even see how anyone could consider it boring at all. I thought it was EXCELLENT!!!!

[BASSI]

The Shining (it's just really (boring)

[Unaboner3000]

The Shining (it's just really (boring)

Yea...I can agree with this one. Not a bad movie....but not the classic so many people claim it to be (at least not for me).

[roshiq]

like to get confused on a movie??
Donnie Darko

[Phalanx]

Dog Soldiers
Swingers

[BASSI]

whats new bassi were have you been ?

nothing new at moment and my older brother has been using computer a lot this week

but my brother went last went out (he's not back yet)i was on internet at 9PM and next think i know was 2AM

thanks for asking.

[alkytrio666]

AH! Eraserhead? Swingers? The Godfather? I can't read this thread anymore!












:(

[Rob Bottin]

Oh damn I forgot to add Full metal jacket and The shining, Kubrick is the most overrated director of all time.

[knife_fight]

I disagree with the majority of these, but two that I agree with are Scarface and Gladiator. I don't think Scarface is boring or too long, I just didn't really like it too much.

and Gladiator (or any of those dumbass epics), I mean come on! that movie may be mindless fun for dudes, but as far as being a "good" movie it doesn't come close to half the movies listed here as overrated.

[bwind22]

AH! Eraserhead? Swingers? The Godfather? I can't read this thread anymore!












:(

You already knew I hated Eraserhead though. That shouldn't come as a shock to you.

[The Mothman]

Evil Dead (all of them)


bastard!!!

man! are you people smokin crack?

[crabapple]

You laughed your ass off at Jaws? You bastard :mad: ;)

[The Flayed One]

If we're going for any genre of movie, I'm going to have to add E.T. and Forrest Gump.

E.T. was just kind of boring (saw it in the theater when I was a wee pup, think I fell asleep) Watched it again several times trying to find the charm. Just can't do it.

As far as Forrest Gump goes, this well may be what I consider the absolute most over-rated film of all time. Others I can see peoples points in.

E.T. - I can see how people consider this a magical movie. Just didn't do it for me.

Scream - Like I said before: almost every part was ruined for me. I still didn't really care for it the second time around, but slasher movies aren't a genre I care for much humor in. Nice gore, though.

Jurassic Park - Dinosaurs are cool. I'll be the first to admit the FX are amazing. It was built up for me as an absolutely terrifying movie, and it just wasn't in any way. I really didn't even find it suspensful. I think that's the problem with a lot of people who saw Exorcist after hearing years of hype. Creepy, maybe. Utterly terrifying? Not in my opinion.

Jaws - Same thing as Jurassic Park, but a tad before my time.

Forrest Gump - No redeeming qualities. Not funny. No touching. Not good. Add Tom Hanks to make one great big shit sandwich.

[newb]

Forrest Gump - No redeeming qualities.

[pinkerton]

pinkman thinks that feast is to long he just cant sit still for three hours or 3 mins :D



I haven't seen Feast yet:o but the rest is true!

[Despare]

Didn't enjoy Gump either, and I personally didn't like American Beauty much.

[alkytrio666]

Yeah, Forrest Gump is a movie I find utterly boring. Dull as hell, completely over-hyped.


I try not to jump on people's opinions...after all, they are opinions.
But Kubrick certainly isn't the most overrated directors of all time. I'd go so far as to say he's underrated.

[Doc Faustus]

Kubrick's problem doesn't have enough respect for other people's material. Yes, according to George Steiner's linguistics text After Babel, enhancement can be an important part of translation, but Kubrick prioritizes enhancement OVER translation. His adaptations don't take the original into consideration enough. His Shining camps up the story of a child in jeopardy to the point at which it loses a lot of the frightening aspects. Doctor Strangelove is incredible. A Clockwork Orange is a noble effort, but one that doesn't give the viewer an opportunity to explore the moral questions native to its setting, instead choosing to give a pretty straight answer to them. It's visually stunning, it's well acted, but it's easy. The answers are too pat. He asks "is it bad to take personal freedom from anyone, regardless of how bestial they might behave?" and then answers it almost without debate. The message of mankind losing its humanity from Burgess' novel is conveyed well, but there's not a dialogue. Movies should make people think instead of telling them head on what to think. Pretty ironic for a movie like A Clockwork Orange.
As for Gump, it's a maudlin sack of crap that's an insulted to every learning disabled person in America. The idea that a disabled person gains glory by stumbling through life on a blissfully ignorant odyssey through contemporary history is not a humanitarian one, but rather just as backward as thinking SPED kids should be smacked until they concentrate. As a person with a major learning disability, I was told by a teacher that Forrest Gump would be an inspiration, instead I was disgusted. The next time I came to school, I asked the SPED teacher "is THAT what you think my options look like?" If any, the movie should be seen as a barometer for American hypocrisy.
Scream is also terrible. You want a self-informed parody of horror cinema, see Young Frankenstein for a comedy, or Opera for a REAL self-reflective slasher film. People forget that Opera means work, so Argento uses the movie to examine it. The killer's comment "I can take you anytime I want" is far more eloquent than any of the downright scatological metafiction in Scream. Just thought I'd boost a slightly underrated entry on the top 100 lists as I cut into some overrated movies.

[bwind22]

why did you hate eraserhead? I think its one of the most brilliant movies of all time.

Here's my review I wrote after watching it since I don't want to waste any additional time thinking about it.


Eraserhead

After it put me to sleep 3 times, I finally finished Eraserhead and I gotta say I thought it sucked! What a boring and pointless piece of crap! I hate watching a film and then feeling like I just wasted a couple hours of my life afterwards and that is how I feel about this one. It gave me nothing. I don't like movies that are weird just for the sake of being weird. There's no real gore, the story purposely makes no sense, and it just was not entertaining in the slightest. I hated it and it's heading to the bottom of my list where I keep Phantasm, Fulci and all the other over-rated films and directors so I remember not to watch them ever again.

D-








I can agree with Suspiria too. I didn't think it was very impressive. And pretty much any Fulci film I've seen has been highly over-rated as well.

[The STE]

^5 @ Flayed One for ET and Gump.

[Posher778]

I get a lot of shit for Jaws, Jurassic Park & Scream. They all three do have a common thread, though. They were all WAY overhyped before I got the chance to see them, and in the case of Scream I had already had the ending & a lot of other scenes ruined for me.

Who said that? Jurassic park and scream are in my top 5 films!

[Posher778]

bastard!!!

To be completely honest, I don't think evil dead's are great either. The second one was funny the first time I saw it, but now only 3 little parts are, and its way too corny, even though meant to be, for my taste. The first one was good, but I just don't care for it that much.

[Despare]

As far as a movie that I like but feel is way overrated... Braindead. I dug the movie, I own it and have watched it plenty of times, but I feel it gets a wee bit too much praise.

[WeaponX]

WHAT?!?!?!?! Scarface? Boring?

It's long, that's true, but I can't even see how anyone could consider it boring at all. I thought it was EXCELLENT!!!!

AH! Eraserhead? Swingers? The Godfather? I can't read this thread anymore!

man! are you people smokin crack?

Who said that? Jurassic park and scream are in my top 5 films!

Wow nothing like falling into the trap and giving people shit...in a thread...about giving people shit for their opinions. Sheesh

Anyway as for me I personally didnt like any of the Halloween movies they just didn't live up to the hype for me and I found them generally unscary

[Despare]

the Halloween movies they just didn't live up to the hype for me

It seems like this is a major issue as far as enjoyment of a film goes. I don't think it really has any bearing on how I feel about a film UNLESS that hype comes with a spoiler that ruins the ending.

[WeaponX]

It seems like this is a major issue as far as enjoyment of a film goes. I don't think it really has any bearing on how I feel about a film UNLESS that hype comes with a spoiler that ruins the ending.

That is true, hype definitly become a factor. I was expecting much better then what I got which I thought was an ok film, not horrible in any means but didn't stand out as a masterpiece for me.

Another huge factor is that watching this movies 20/30 years after its release they seem cliche thanks to the thousands of cookie-cutter movies that used many of the movies ideas. Then, even though the movie pioneered some techniques and came out before these other movies, they seem played out because you have seen them a hundred times in latter movies.

I can understand that one too. Halloween was probably the first slasher I saw and loving it so much then probably impacts how I feel about it now quite a bit.

[odelisk]

I'm not a real big fan of The original Dawn of the Dead. Also, I haven't been found of any movies pre 1965, they just seem too dated and lame to me. Maybe it's because I'm still fairly young...I'm 28.

[Phalanx]

Akira.
Nice animation (though only "ok by todays standards), but hated the storyline.

I really don't much like Bruce Lee films either.

Platoon, just not all that great IMO...largely boring to me.

And a SHOW that a lot of people seem to like that I just find fucking unfunny and obnoxious, is "arrested development"

[bwind22]

arrested development

I'm with ya on that one. I just don't find Jason Bateman funny at all.

[Unaboner3000]

Platoon, just not all that great IMO...largely boring to me.

Agreed. So many other great war movies. I still wonder how this movie achieved the level of acclaim it did.

[The STE]

As far as a movie that I like but feel is way overrated... Braindead. I dug the movie, I own it and have watched it plenty of times, but I feel it gets a wee bit too much praise.

If you mean the Dead Alive thing of Braindead and not that weird sci-fi movie, then hell yes. That movie had an amusing kung-fu priest, and fuck all else.

[Unaboner3000]

Titanic....


Jim Cameron worked absolute magic in the Terminator films and Aliens. But damn! Titanic? Jim, were you high when you agreed to do that movie?!

[Unaboner3000]

and that was 10 years ago were is he now?

The way things have been going lately, he is probably in production for Titanic 2: The Prequel... soon to be in a theatre near you!

[Jacob Singer]

Hostel

Saw I, II and III

Oh Hostel, yeah. I forgot about that movie. It had like two parts I thought were interesting, the rest was about as exciting as reading a playboy on the toliet and having no penis.:confused: :D

They capitalized and extremely puncuated 'what' was a bit much and could be seen as getting 'shit'. However I guess I was being nit-picky I just think it is really ironic that people are over-reacting in a thread exactly what what some of these people are doing (although on a lesser degree at times). Your comment was the most non...'shit-giving' one and you did at least state a reason so I should have left yours out.

Also could you guys quit with the 'noob' crap. It is so played out. I hate to break it to you but 'noob's are no less entitled to an opinion nor are inferior to you.

Akira was a let-down for me simply because it was in no way as great as the comics and was far too condensed and just strayed away from the original story which was much better.

I actually thought Arrested Development would be like you said unfunny and obnoxious but I actually liked it. Oh well doesn't matter now that it is cancelled.

[pinkerton]

I loved Arrested Development but most people find me unfunny and obnoxious.

It's depressing even to just read that off a screen, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion, no matter how utterly wrong it maybe.(Calm ya nerves, that was a joke.)


I find Gone with the Wind to be a bit over hyped. I'm not even going to go into Lord of the Rings.

[Despare]

I think that The Godfather is overrated as well, that's not to say I don't love the film. It's just always touted as being flawless, the perfect movie... and it's not.

[Ripture]

I've never liked The Godfather or Scarface(to be honest i dont like any mafia films) i'm not too keen on the "Scary Movie" films either

[Doc Faustus]

I'm with Austin on Gone With the Wind. Scarlett really pissed me off. I don't think she's nearly as endearing as film critics claim she is.

[TheGoblinQueen]

I didn't like Ghost Rider at all. I find it overhyped and the animation to lack in so many ways. >< Just a horrible movie all together.

[TheGoblinQueen]

im with ya here ...and nick was very bad too what gives ?

I never considered him a great actor but he does manage to pull off a few good movies. It just seemed he had a bad scriped in his hands and the animation quality for a high budget film was not there at all... Plus the movie lacked what the graphic novel had. Atleast get characters correct.

[Unaboner3000]

Friday the 13th (all the films) are VASTLY overrated by many. Even the first film (certainly the best) was pretty mediocre.

[illdojo]

The Prestige - I just watched it a few days ago. It was very boring. :(

[The Mothman]

Eraserhead (This had to be one of the most godawful pieces of shit I've ever seen.)


ahh. this just drives me freakin crazy.

[slayer666]

the descent i hate this movie but people keep telling me im wrong ...FUCKERS!

You are right on this one, Dave. The Descent was awful. Not awful in a Uwe Boll sort of way, but still bad. After such a great beginning it deteriorated into laughable absurdity when the monsters showed up, losing all the tension which had been built to that point. So glad I didn't end up blind buying this one.

The ones I take the most guff for are Land of the Dead and Napoleon Dynamite. Land of the Dead was (forgive me George) ridiculous IMO and I just wanted to smack Hopper. Napoleon Dynamite tried way too hard to be a Kevin Smith film.

its not a movie but that series 24 is fucking drawn out, lengthy and dull. watched the first ten episodes of series one on dvd cause i had heard so many good things. just couldn't get into it

[Scare-ah]

Haute Tension :mad:

I second that one! I was so pissed off when it ended...I'm really sick of movies that throw in a twist just for the sake of having a twist. A lot of screenwriters, directors, etc. seem to think that people will get off on a surprise ending even if it doesn't make any sense at all.

[PR3SSUR3]

Ring
Pulse/Kairo
A History of Violence

[PR3SSUR3]

Haute Tension only doesn't make any sense from a narrow perspective, and is audaciously brave and provocative from a more relaxed viewpoint.

Phantasm sucked! (All of them!)
The Ring & Ringu
The Ring 2 & Ringu 2
The Grudge & Ju-on
The Grudge 2 & Ju-on 2
The Thing (It wasn't terrible, just terribly over-rated.)
Eraserhead (This had to be one of the most godawful pieces of shit I've ever seen.)

Additionally, in general, I think most ghost movies suck. (But 1 that I did like a lot was The Frighteners.)

the frighteners it was ok
what about THE OTHERS that was good right (ghost story)

clock work orange i didn't like it either but maybe if i saw it in 1971 or when ever it was
jeepers creepers sucked
peter jacksons KING KONG DISAPOINTED MAYBE CAUSE THE STORY WAS SO OLD AND EVERONE KNOWS IT

maybe watch while not on drugs

HOUSE OF WAX the new one was a pile of shit about the size of a DVD case

[_____V_____]

Many people rate it very highly but I was disappointed by The Grudge and The Ring. The original Jap ones were much better but the hollywood remakes sucked. I wonder how sucky the remake of Battle Royale is gonna be...:rolleyes:

[Kane_Hodder]

The Shining would lead such a list, if I sat down to write it. Then there's the Child's Play films which didnt click with me. I did not particularly like the Hellraiser films either. Some of the recent slashers from the mid-90s onwards have been too over-rated and hyped, and have fallen flat on their faces.

[Posher778]

I don't get why people always hate on house of wax remake. if you look at it as it's own film, not a remake, it's fine. As far as modern slashers go, it was decent, good gore, pretty brutal, and experimental.

I hated 300.

[Shady]

One Word: Jaws

[bloodrayne]

Haha...I always get shit for the stuff I LIKE, not the stuff I hate

If I hate a movie, it's gotta be REALLY bad :D

[CryptKeeper13]

28 days later....

[crabapple]

28 Days Later didn't do too much for me either.

[Posher778]

I actually turned it off.

[_____V_____]

Haha...I always get shit for the stuff I LIKE, not the stuff I hate

If I hate a movie, it's gotta be REALLY bad :D

So which ones do you hate?;)

1st. i never saw the original. 2nd wax doesn't sizzle when you touch hot metal to it. 3rd wax that thin (the guy shaves it down you have to to get that good nipple detail that wax museums need when everything is covered in clothes)would fall off the shin as the body rots there is too much water in a body for it too work 4th i think this was supose to take place in florida i think a house of wax would melt in florida

i hear ya. every time i go into the last seen movie area i never give less than 7/10. i just always seem to get something out of everything. having said that i rarely give 9/10 and never 10/10. my only exception would be hoboken hollow, 3/10. i suppose some people will watch any old shite whereas i tend to stick with subject matter that i'm interested in.

[Nikkif8]

I didn't like The Exorcist either, I fell asleep the first time. But then I realized I had to give it props for being a great movie at the time it came out. badck then that was the scariest shit that had come out I guess.

I have never been a fan of Screams or anything that to me is artificial like that. Which includes Hostel, and any remakes like Black Water, The Grudge and crap like that. I get tons of grief for those.

I didn't really care for Clockwork Orange either or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas -tons of grief for those too.

Now a few movies I can't believe people don't like and I give grief about are:
Anchorman
Napolean Dynamite
Saw I and III
Haute Tension

Hmmm I know there is more...........
