The editting is a bit wack at times (although some of it is on purpose), and it can be rather weird. Quote:

 Personally, I liked the movie because it was amusing. I guess I'm just easily amused.  Let's see... Twilight and Harry Potter have already been mentioned as over-rated, so hmm... Well, I thought 9 was going to be more epic than it was. I mean, I liked the movie (well, except for the end, which I found depressing), but when I watched the original short, there wasn't much difference between the two versions. It's nice that the movie version gave some details as to what happened, but it could've given some more, and maybe some idea as to how long between the end of humanity and the awakening of the homunculi was... or maybe make the time difference wider, since it doesn't appear to have taken much time (corpses haven't decayed, and the destruction appears to have solely from the war, rather than neglect... except for the rust).

Well hardly anyone knows about Spirited Away so it can't be that overrated. I for one think Van Helsing was overrated. It's almost all of my friends favourite movie, I saw it, thought it was good but it's not the best. Not to mention it's hardly original, it was a cross between Underworld and Alien. (or at least the end was.) Futhermore I thought D-Wars was a terrible movie. How can people like it? It was poorl done. I think the only part I liked about it was when some old lady walked into a wall. The beginning kind of reminded me somewhat of Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, which I actually like and then it lost ALL plot.

No offense to the people whom liked it...
But District 9 is being called brilliant everywhere, But I for one thought it was... generic and boring. I've seen everything all before and disliked most of the film :P

I agree with Bakura136...
Dragon Wars was the worst movie I have seen in a long time... well, I say that, I really only watched half the movie before switching it off out of sheer frustration at how bad it was :V

When I think of overrated, I think of friggin crouching tiger hidden dragon. I wouldn't mind it that much if people didn't say it was one of the greatest films ever, which it CLEARLY isn't, and I fell asleep during it (as I also did with hero, which is another film I thought was boring and overrated)

I'll take your word that it holds the #1 spot in some arbitrary list posted on the internet, but I stand by my position that it's a damn good movie which is comparable to the films you've listed, holding its own. There's no such thing as "the best movie"; however, I contend that all of these movies belong to a category of great films that are worth watching and, as such, cannot be overrated.

Schindler's List is over-rated. The '70's mini series 'Holocaust' is far superior, or The Pianist.

A work isn't overrated just because it ranks a bigger score than its opponents on some lame internet lists. A work is overrated when it has many obvious flaws and. It's hard to honestly say that Shawshank Redemption is a worse or better movie than Godfather, when each other are done exceptionally, but touch different topics and have different ideas. It's when a flawed work gets a ton of praise that, when you look past all the hype, it really doesn't deserve. Dark Knight is overrated. It doesn't mean it's bad, but it wasn't good enough to justify saying "the goddamn Batman" dethroned "the freakin' Godfather", which is what a lot of people believed based on a quick IMDB succession. I mean, on the same IMDB list, "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" is on the 10th (or something along the lines) place. It's a great movie, but when you look at it, does it really deserve the place among the greatest movies of all time? I don't think so. Remember, it's all by the popular voting, and not only the "greatness" of the movie itself matters. Star Wars is on this high of a place because it was (and still is) mindblowing, I guess. Of course the acting is choppy, but I don't know whether "The Dark Knight" will still be remembered after 30 years of its creation. *aka "my own selfish little thought train" Quote:
I'm sorry, I haven't done this for a loooong time, and now I really have to:  (The point is: DB:Evolution was shit already, so saying it's overrated might be only used in context of: "The shitty ratings it got aren't shitty enough.") Last edited by Aninamar; 6 Days Ago at 03:53 PM.

-Errrrrr, Citizen Kane <___<
>___> Though on Serious note, I think critically aclaimed films which are overrated are:- -Juno -Star Wars -Oceans 11 -Godfather 2 -Generally overrated films are:- -Zoolander -Twilight -And generally all movies based on low-grade humour (poeple love them, but I personally dont')

Warning: The following contains spoilers to The Shawshank Redemption (TSR)
A great flaw of TSR as an unrealistic portrayal of prison 1. TSR has a ridiculously homophobic presentation of the Sisters. Apparently, prison rapes and fights are only done by a small gang and it doesn't ever happen again if their leader is punished. 2. TSR's storytelling is overly melodramatic. Andy gives a tax tip to the murderous chief guard and he gives drinks to everyone. Andy organizes a library and prison becomes a good place to live (that's better than in Civilization III). Another significant weakness to TSR is the simplistic morality and resolution. Andy gets wronged, and is ultimately able to have everyone evildoer punished. It is basically the SNL sketch of It's A Wonderful Life where the people of Bedford Falls go and club Mr. Potter.

Seriously, I'll throw in a vote for "Regarding Henry". You do not recover from brain injury. Period.

As imphic mentioned, this post will contain spoilers for the Shawshank Redemption.

Another point, don't forget that the movie's setting is in America, during the late 40's, a time where homosexuality was much less accepted than today. Finally, the rapes stopped happening to the protagonist after the Sisters' leader was horribly injured because that scared the hell out of the rest of the Sisters. He was beaten to a pulp by the head Prison Guard, presumably under the orders of the Warden, and he can't do anything about it. He's in a prison after all and his only source of appeal is the Warden himself, who is obviously not going to listen. There's probably not a better way to make an example of someone in order to get others to stop doing something. Quote:
Even when Andy organizes a library, the prison does not necessarily become a better place to live. The only difference now is that they can get their high school diploma (hardly useful in prison) and read better literature ... while still eating the same grimy-old food (with maggots in it), living in the same claustrophobic prison cells, under the same tyranny of the Warden and his right-hand man, and under the same threat of being thrown into solitary confinement for stepping out of line. So, yes, life is improved ... but only so slightly. Quote:
If it's the sadistic rapist who can't keep his hands off the protagonist; I smiled when they wheel-chaired his bruised body away. If it's the cruel prison guard, who kills a man in prison for no justifiable reason; I felt satisfied that he cried when they took him away. If it's the corrupt and highly hypocritical Warden; I laughed when he commited suicide like the coward he was. None of these characters had redeeming qualities, none of them. Did you honestly expect him to rot the rest of his life away in prison for a crime he didn't commit and not get any sort of justice? Perhaps if it was a tragedy, but it's not. So, no, I don't know what you're talking about.
