Three most overrated movies

[MNDude]

What top three movies do you think do you think didn't live up to all their hype?

[Jim from C-Town]

I have to say, I really liked Clooney in the recent film the descendants. I tend to dislike his movies, but this was very good and he was very good in it.

I am also interested in seeing up in the air. I hear it is good.

I will second Titanic.

When I saw it, first run, I recall overhearing a woman telling her husband, as my wife and I were going up the aisle, "You'd better cry." Honest to God. This instilled, or reinforced in me a sort of impudent attitude towards the more melodramatic aspects of the movie, which I guess is most of its aspects, come to think of it.

[Salamander]

I’ve never seen Titanic.

I shut off zero dark thirty.

First, everything they've done has been outstanding, with just one exception. Second, No Country for Old Men is the best adaptation of a very difficult novel you will ever see, and it is 100% nailed. NCFOM, Fargo and Miller's Crossing; those three films alone would make any other Director's career except for Hitchcock.

My EXACT thought.

ANYBODY could have replaced Baldwin. Including Aflac. And thats saying a lot.

Connery made that movie.

Well...actually it was well written, well shot, well edited...it was great all around. One of my favorites.

[Salamander]

He was actually good in TAPS.

He played a guy who was devoutly loyal to an ideology and then went berserk.

Oh...wait....never mind.

[mountn man]

Gladiator.

[FredZarguna]

It is actually one of the few times you will find that a very fine Screenplay is actually better than the original novel. The screenplay even fills in a number of plot holes in the original.

[mountn man]

The MOST overrated movie though had to be that movie with Leonardo Dicaprio in it.

The one with the Celine Dion song...and DiCrapio dies.

Yep, Avatar was a silly movie. I have no idea why it was so popular..

[Salamander]

Yep!

[Salamander]

;D

Forgot that, too.

[Salamander]

It was a liberal Gaia love fest.

Fargo, was the first coen brothers film.

[mountn man]

I remember seeing that disaster.

A buddy said we had to see it. That it was all the rage.

Afterwards he raved about it. I looked at him like he had a third eye in his forehead.

Next would be Slingblade.

[The Cajun]

He gave up acting a while back and lives in a little village making shoes.

On TV show Fraiser, Niles Fraiser's brother was telling how he bought their father a pair of Italian shoes from a small village where the shoe maker makes only one pair every 6 months and when he finishes, they ring the church bells.
Roz their friend said, "Now there's a town in bad need of a bowling alley" :)

And of course: Edward Scissorhands as reviewed by two barbers.

Jerry! You made out during Schindler's List!?

Puke!
