Overrated movies thread

Overrated movies thread.

Post and explain why. I'll start.

Star wars, a hew hope. A shitty kids movie that hasn't aged well, doesn't look good, basic simple plot, is only loved so much because of oldfag's nostalgia.

Sounds to me like youre just a whiny bitch

Why, because I don't like a shitty 70's soap opera set in Space?

i bet you jerk off into your own mouth over shit like the MCU don't you kiddo.

I had to Google that, no, I don't even like Marvel, apart from maybe Deadpool.

Star Wars bis awesome

Whats overrated is:
Every superhero manbaby movie

Deadpool
>Wannabe edgy
But it's only cringy af

exactly

Edgy? You call that edgy? Was just a straight up comedy, nothing wannabe edgy about it.

Could you explain WHY it's shitty? Also it aged very well. Don't know what you're talking about there.

Did you watch the movie?

>Also it aged very well.

Yeah man, those special effects and CGI are mind blowing, even by today's standards, and the costumes and make up!!! I mean wow, that chewbaca pedo bear thing looks real!! So does the dildo looking robot!!

>kek

I did, it was funny. Not sure how you think it was trying to be edgy.

Summerfag

>it was funny

How to enrage a bunch of Sup Forumstards

>say Star Wars is shit

Still not explaining why the story itself is bad.
>inb4 "I-it's a kids movie! A soap opera, yeah!"

lol I'm 32 you cunt, summer means nothing to me

I didn't say the story is bad, I said it was basic. It's a formula that's been done since the beginning of story-telling time. Classic good V evil bullshit.

Yeah, when you live in your parents basement it doesn't matter.

>32
>that sentence
something about that number doesn't seem right

Other than superhero movies , I think it's avatar for sure , most people rate it as one of best movies ever, to me it's boring, too long, plot lacks depth, no character development, overall director is done poorly, very generic CGI sifi movie

They don't have a basement, and I haven't lived with them since I was 18. Don't hold me to your standards, fuckin NEET

Lol!

>implying edgy "blurred line of good/evil" stories aren't bullshit

Still better than Star Wars

The whole star wars saga is just way overrated, and star trek is even worse.

you really hate Star Wars don't you?
or at least, you want to.
you want to appear "edgy" and "cutting away from the norm" so you whine about one of the most universally well-liked movies ever.
summerfaggotry at its finest

>live in trailer park
>no basement
>it's summer
>working at McDonald's
>checking Sup Forums in free time
>someone is saying shit about my favorite movie
>need to tell them my age so they will take me seriously

I actually enjoyed the Phantom Menace, Jar Jar Binks was a funny character, probably one of the best characters in all of the movies, but the oldfags hated him because they are miserable oldfags.

Breakfast club and pulp fiction.
Both are shit movies but:
BC: It's just a bunch of fags who each think they're cool because one of them is good at sports, one is actually mentally ill, one is a stuck up bitch, one tried to kill himself, and one actually sexually harassed the stuck up bitch.They're all retarded, bland characters with no relatable qualities who end up as friends for no reason other than plot line.
Pulp fiction has a garbage plot and doesnt spend enough time on any one character for one to actually feel invested in that character. and by the time you are invested you just never see the character again, or they die, or reappear at the end of the movie.
Kill Bill is retarded too. We don't even know the main character's name until the second movie and the fighting is gratuitously bloody. But if all I wanted was blood I'd just watch a snuff film insyead of sit through a stupid fucking movie.

Dances with Smurfs, you mean?

What's edgy about not liking a movie? Maybe if I'd have seen it when I was young, I may* have the nostalgia for it, but I didn't see that shit until I was in my early 20's and just thought it looked dated and wasn't really that interesting, it also has a lot of bad acting in it by people who aren't the main cast. And the gold robot thing is just embarrassing

The character was funny, kind of. But the whole plot is just boring like every other star wars movie.
For those asking why I don't like the saga: it's just a rip off from joseph campbell work: the hero with thousand faces, but in a boring way without the philosophical/mythological interesting parts.

...

George Lucas even says you're all too old to like it

"r George Lucas stated that he feels there is a section of the fanbase who get upset with aspects of Star Wars because "the movies are for children but they don't want to admit that... There is a small group of fans that do not like comic sidekicks. They want the films to be tough like The Terminator, and they get very upset and opinionated about anything that has anything to do with being childlike."["

summer is here

Well, even as a child I found those movies boring

1/10 b8
>being this new

Comic sidekicks are fine as long as they're done right. (I.E. not jar jar)

If you can't tell how well Star Wars has aged, you clearly haven't watched any other movies from the 70s.

It set the fucking standard for all of the garbage you watch and enjoy today.

Didnt see it at the cinemas and due to the hype i went and bought it on dvd for $20. Worst mistake

Have you ever considered that you're simply a contrarian with bad taste?

>other movies from the 70s.

Alien, Close encounters, Clockwork orange, the exorcist - All 70's all better practical effects than Star wars

It wasn't that bad. Was better than the Biggie movie.

I'll never know how the original Star Wars got a sequel.

It's was a below average film, even for it's time.

The only redeeming feature was the relatively original setting.

Story sucked, characters sucked, acting really sucked and the direction was poor.

To be fair though, Lucas and the franchise have come a long way and they've got better for sure.

I am not a star wars fan or hater i am just muh about it. Have you ever considered star wars is weird with mostly bad actors and cast?

You're listing highly critically acclaimed curated content that's also aged well. I'm talking about the average movie from the 1970s. The average sci-fi movie specifically. Sci fi at the time was an incredibly poorly represented category in an era that still favored westerns, and Star Wars set the bar and remains a heavy influence to this day.

Putting aside for a moment that it has in fact aged extremely well for any movie of the time, let alone a sci-fi movie of the time, taking it out of context and comparing it to modern CGI and effects is childish, and saying it's a bad movie is the definition of contrarianism.

>It's was a below average film, even for it's time.

my guess is that you were born in the late 90s and have no idea what average movies were even like back in the 70s.

a new hope was the highest grossing movie of the entire decade by a factor of two. you don't put up those kinds of numbers as a "below average movie with bad acting and directing"

i don't think you children understand just how big this movie was in its day.

>Sci fi at the time was an incredibly poorly represented

Alien, Close encounters.... And stop acting like I can't dislike a movie because I genuinely think it's shit, why does it have to be me being "contrarian" - I don't care how many people like or dislike it, if everybody hated it, I'd still hate it.

No because you started a thread to tell people what you don't like. You're a whiny little bitch.

>lol I'm 32

32 year old don't start sentences with lol

Also you should have grown out of Sup Forums by now

No, I started a thread to see what other people thought were overrated movies, I didn't expect it just to be a bunch of faggy fedoralords sticking up for their gay franchise and bashing me for having an opinion.

>32 year old don't start sentences with lol

Clearly they do, because I just did it lol, force of habit, I've been typing "lol" since you were probably too young to speak, and I'll never grow out of Sup Forums, I'll still be shitposting when I'm 95

You knew what you were doing when you posted that, you're just a whiny little bitch looking for an argument.

Who the fuck cares about what you don't like?

You say it like you're proud, if you're honestly 32 you need to take a step back and reevaluate your life.

My life is good, house, 2 cars, kid, dog, fiance, work from home and get paid to argue with autists like you while I work. Couldn't be happier.

>my guess is that you were born in the late 90s
You guess wrong, friend.

>have no idea what average movies were even like back in the 70s
Jaws, The Godfather, Rocky, Taxi Driver, The Exorcist, The Deer Hunter, Halloween.
Take your pick, plenty of quality films came out in the 70's. It was an excellent decade for filmography.

>a new hope was the highest grossing movie
Taking money doesn't make it good. Remember, sheeple still buy Apple products in their millions.

>i don't think you children understand
I think children understand perfectly, it was a film aimed at a young audience.


Now, I'm not saying it was bad, just very...meh. If an equivalent film of that quality was released today it wouldn't get a sequel.

I think it was helped by the fact that it was released at a fortuitous time. '77 was a fairly bland year for films. People didn't have anything else to spend their money on at the box office.

Close Encounters is barely sci-fi and unlike Star Wars has legitimately aged poorly. Alien came out two years after the fact, and again was more of a horror suspense movie than fleshed out sci-fi. The universe has since been built upon and is pretty interesting, but at the time it wasn't anything groundbreaking.

I'm not saying you can't dislike a movie for personal reasons. I can say that you're being contrarian for calling a movie shit when the overwhelming opinion is that it's one of the most important and influential of all time for good reason. Rejecting that kind of established popular opinion is the definition of contrarian.

you done LARPing yet, guy?

No it WAS bad. Id say 50 cents one was the best rising rapper movie but ive yet to watch pacs new movie

Had to Google that, the fact that you even know that acronym says more about you than me.

Again, you're listing critically acclaimed curated content that has stood the test of time and is still talked about today.

Again, you're proving that you weren't alive during the 70s and have no idea what the average movie was like back then.

>it was released at a fortuitous time. '77 was a fairly bland year for films.

You're just talking out of your ass at this point.

I'm saying it

Lord of the rings wasn't that good. Same for hobbit. It was okay, but it's not amazing like everyone says

holy shit hahaha, did you just find Sup Forums from reddit or something?

lurk the fuck more you dumbass newfag.

>'77 was a fairly bland year for films. People didn't have anything else to spend their money on at the box office.

Annie Hall
Eraserhead
Saturday Night Fever
Close Encounters of the third kind
Smokey and the bandit
a Bridge too far
The Spy who loved me
The Island of Dr Moreau

and many more

I've been on here for the best part of a decade, never seen anybody say LARPing

Lord of the Rings, particularly Return of the King, was absolutely amazing. The Hobbit was aight.

Fuck you, dirty harry still kicks ass.

Did death wish come out in the 70s? If so, double fuck you

>I've been on here for the best part of a decade
of course you have summerfriend.

So, no valid argument then. Cheers, pal.

Exactly

So because I have no interest in your autistic past time and wouldn't even click on threads that had anything to do with dressing up like fag in a forest and pretending to be a wizard or some shit, I'm a summerfag? Okay then, buddy lol, whatever you say

>Star Wars is overrated
So, tell us which one of your favorite Tarantino films is underrated.

Exactly what?
if you are saying those are bad films you are invalidating all your anti star wars arguments due to a complete lack of taste

You are entitled to your opinion and I respect it.

Do tell me, have you read the book before seeing the movies or did you watch the movie and then read the book? Alot of my disdain for the movies comes from how I just saw things differently when I read the books as a wee lad

Not bad, bland.

Hahaha fuck that lame fuck. Who thinks oliver stone is the best filmmaker?

Alot of these fags really like star wars.

I agree with op, it was just alright. The holiday special was comedy gold though

Coen brothers are best. End of thread

not him but I had read the books before seeing the films, I think The Hobbit films are overrated and so is Return of the King, but I saw Two Towers 5 times at the cinema over the course of about 2 weeks, I felt it was a very solid film.

there was a lot either missing or that just didn't feel right compared to the books

None, most are overrated, especially Reservoir Dogs, most interesting thing in the whole movie, the robbery, doesn't even get shown.

I share your point of view.

so you consider The Godfather, Rocky and The Exorcist to be classics of the 70's but Eraserhead and The island of Dr. Moreau are 'bland'

fuck off mate

You are right, that thing appeared less than 2 years ago and is mainly used on Sup Forums

Fargo and no country are good. But have you noticed that they make alot of movies involving ransom. Why?
I bet those two little fucks wouldnt want to be in a ransom situation themselves... stone has life experience.

Trolololol

Different user, but what makes eraser head so good? I've seen it and besides it's uneasy factor, it's just standard.

Don't get me wrong, David Lynch is amazing but I just can't seem to like eraserhead

>Eraserhead
Bland try at surreal. A fucking woman who lives in a radiator is pure cringe.

>The island of Dr. Moreau
Not even bland, just terrible

They definitely make niche movies. And I mean they have the niche.

But I mainly like how they can interweave parables and general "things that don't belong" into all their films. O brother where art thou is my favorite example.

And stone is quite good, never meant to imply otherwise

Star wars was not for children...

It carried a pg or m rating (cant remember) and used to terrify children under 10.

Look at the innuendo in the names :
Han Solo
Chewbacca
The only female in the entire series was called Leia
Vaders helmet

The whole thing was a euphemism

>It carried a pg or m rating

In the UK it was rated U, meaning any age

Well hell, can't argue with George "who shot first? Lets change it 5 times" lucas

He was skittish and changed his tune constantly. The whole sequel to prequel thing didnt follow any plan. It evolved as the opportunity to cash in revealed itself... and he made it up as it went along

>terrify

haha, both my kids are under 10 and have watched it. no scaries said they.

It was huge! Every kid had star wars figurines and watched it repeatedly.

I think Sup Forumsros would like this flick. Anyone seen it?

This is like half true. It is a kids movie, but it's not bad. Just because it's a kids movie doesn't mean it's bad. But some of the acting is pretty bad, like Harrison Ford has less range than fence post is A New Hope. But that could be the shitty dialog. "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" sounds like a line from a bad porno.
