Overrated Movies

[Calal]

Vanilla Sky (its like Eyes Wide Shut, only if it where a cheap, stupid, New Jersey skank)

That' s because it' s a remake. Try 'Abres los ojos' for a change, it blew me away. Pretty deep movie if you ask me.

Other overrated movies that were stupid remakes and didn' t contribute anything to the world of cinema except a fat paycheck to the actors:
Tim Burton' s Planet of the Apes (what was he thinking?)
Red Dragon (I' d prefer Manhunt anyday, thx a lot)
Nightwatch (the Danish version is way better and a lot scarier)
recent Village of the Damned
Psycho
The Ring
Especially anything Blair Witch project

Other overrated movies:
Reign of fire
Everything with Vin Diesel
Everything with Ben Afleck or J-lo
Bah, most movies nowadays actually.

CTHD? Wrong. Try again. It was one of the few movies that kept me thinking about the characters and their motivations long after the credits rolled. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone. Whatever. I'm tired.

[Megatron]

Wrong. Try again, you damn barbarian!

I thought it was pretty boring. There was one fight sequence out of the whole thing that was alright, otherwise it was a waste of time I think? You could think about the characters and their motivations for any movie anyway? Just some movies wouldn't be very deep but pretend to be.

Perhaps I didn't get it because I'm not a 19th century chinese woman?

[Spazmo]

CTHD was kinda poop. The fight scenes were all right, but there was virtually no story and what there was made no sense. YOU CAN'T LEARN THAT KIND OF SHIT IN A BOOK, FOR CHRISSAKE!

um. trying to enjoy citizen kane in 2003 is like trying to enjoy pong in 2065

you fucking dolts.

There are 40's movies that are still enjoyable, I think Citizen Kane is not. Sure, it was probably evolutionary & revolutionary back then, but it doesn't deserve the title of the greatest flick ever. Just like Pong, being revolutionary doesn't make it THA WORLD BEST MOVIE (or game) NOW WHIT EXTRA BESTNESS. Chemical Ali has spoken

I agree with Lasse. Citizen Kane is pretty good, but it's nothing special. It's not that fun to watch either.

Better, more entertaining '40s movies: Casablanca, early Hitchcock stuff.

Pulp Fiction. I wanted to love PF as much as seemingly everyone else on earth did, but I just didn't. I liked it well enough. I can see why it lit the world on fire back in 1994, but the problem is that PF has been so ripped off and imitated by other directors and movies that seeing the one that started it all elicits a sort of "blah" feeling from me. Not only that, but it seriously drags in the middle.

The Gold Watch/Butch did drag, but it kind of showed the uniqueness of the writing style employed by Avery and Tarantino. I mean a character is alive at the beginning, dies during Butch's little adventure, and yet is alive at the end.

Plus, the soundtrack owns.

Then again, if you got two fucking eyes you would realize that I did enjoy the movie immensely.

The Godfather. I don't get it. I don't get what all the fuss is about.

Remember that it was the 70's? I know Grade 11 High School students that can out-act Caan, Duvall and probably even Pachino in that movie. Apocalyspe Now owned Godfather.

Can you name a good PF knockoff?

Snatch. Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.


My list? Let me see...

Platoon.

I don't know why, but I hate this Sheen flick. I can really connect to it. At all. I find Full Metal Jacket, which practically repeats the same fucking message of War Is Hell found plainly in Apoc Now, Platoon and Deer Hunter.

Lord Of The Ring: Return Of The King

Saw it and it sucked ass.

[Megatron]

I liked Platoon, it was something a bit different. Instead of just 'war is hell' it had the 2 dudes and stuff.

I think any vietnam movie will be about War being Hell. From Jacob's ladder too Platoon, they have the general message that being in vietnam wasn't fun. The only thing vietnam is good for in movies is so you can have some vet kick a bunch of ass then start a speech about vietnam.

[Kashluk]

I kinda liked Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes. Guess I'm a child of the generation X or some other jizzy shit, because I didn't like the original as much.
Vin Diesel's Pitch Black was cool too, though that's the only good Vin Diesel film I've seen. The whole thing with the "2 fast 4 u Fucking furi0us more 1337numbers" with fast cars, chicks with big tits and you know the rest - sucks.

[Stainless]

Most of the shit that comes in the cinemas is crap. I think the last movie I actually really really enjoyed was 28 Days Later.

[Nicolai]

I saw a few minutes of Pitch Black, and it looked pretty much like crap to me B)

[Ernesto]

Vinny was also in Saving Private Ryan. He bought it saving that francais kid. Probably his best bit of acting thus far.

28 Days Later own, plain and simple. The whole thing with the Brit Military was so cool and actually kind of realistic. I do feel that they could have hire a better actor to play "Hannah."

[Nicolai]

28 Days Later was pretty great, but I disliked most of the car-trip part, that was the only let-down in the movie I guess.

[POOPERSCOOPER]

The Godfather. I don't get it. I don't get what all the fuss is about.

Remember that it was the 70's? I know Grade 11 High School students that can out-act Caan, Duvall and probably even Pachino in that movie. Apocalyspe Now owned Godfather.


Your dumb piece of shit.[/quote]

[Nicolai]

you, my good sir, suck at quoting.

[boywoos]

Nicolai, do you ever make any kind of constructive contribution. Every post seems to be either "sure", "lol", "you are teh gay".

[Guest]

He's right, though. POOPERSCOOPER does indeed suck at

quoting.

[Nicolai]

noo.. should I?

[Ernesto]

He's right, though. POOPERSCOOPER does indeed suck at

quoting.

Total Pwn.

All Adam Sandler movies after Happy "The Price Is Wrong, Bitch" Gilmore suck ass. Yet the teenage community gobble each one up like it's comic gold.

[Nicolai]

Yea, I'm unable to watch any of Sandler's movies for more than 5 minutes before being forced to turned them off by my frying brain.
