Houston's Most Overrated Movies.

[nflman2033]

I may have been trolling with those last three, either way not best movie that year let alone alltime.

Speaking of that year, an overrated movie is Slumdog millionaire

 

[G-men]

I see it on TV all the time and have tried to watch it multiple times but can never get through the whole thing. I've heard people say this was the best comedy of the last decade and I just don't get how people are so in love with it. All of the funniest lines were in the trailer.

I love The Dark Knight and think it is a fantastic film (Heat meets Batman, for Christ's sake)...but The Wrestler is one of the best movies in the last five years.

:kanye:

Not disagreeing at all. Like I said, it is one of the two films I would accept arguments for being better than TDK. The rest though, no thanks.

But I do agree with you nflman about Slumdog, as I previously posted. That movie is all sorts of overrated.

 

[dell71]

then either you haven't seen a lot, or a fan boy

The Wrestler
In Bruges

are both better

Frost/Nixon
Milk
The Reader
Revolutionary Road
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Are all about equal or slightly better.


and on a completely bias opinion Zack and Miri Make a Porno was better too

Yeah, put me on the list for those who'll listen to arguments for all of those except Zack & Miri. Cool movie, but no. Honestly, I had TDK my #1 that year (maybe showing my fanboyism) but wouldn't be mad if anyone had behind any or all of those you have listed except Z&M, Revolutionary Road & Benjamin Button.

In the sense that IMO you'd have to be a girl blindly in love with Newman and Redford to enjoy this.

Lol. Curious to know what you think of The Sting.

Casino was too long and boring sorry. Maybe I need to watch it again because I've only seen it once, but it was definitely long and boring the first time.

 

[Rivers17ncsu]

Go watch Air Bud, it's right up your alley.

I liked that movie as a kid, I'm a huge dog lover though so that may be why I liked it.



and Zack & Miri? Totally disappointed. I still got some movies to see from the year TDK came out though. I got them on my que on netflix though (The Wrestler, Frost/Nixon, and In Bruges)

 

[Senser81]

Lol. Curious to know what you think of The Sting.

The Sting is a great movie. Very fast-paced and interesting.

Butch Cassidy/Sundance Kid had some good scenes, but overall I found it way too drawn out. I was ready for the movie to end, but then they go to Bolivia! Yawn. Also kind of a downer movie for the last part.

Sidenote, I actually bought the Sting on DVD because they stopped showing it on TV. I had only seen the TV version, but in the opening scene when Robert Redford and his black partner are running a con, one of the characters says "God Damn Nigger Lover". I guess they saw reason to leave that out of the TV version.

So let me get this straight? I come in this thread looking for HB's overrated movie list, its 10 pages long and he hasnt posted any list, well anything all all actually.

Instead, its a bunch of shit, followed by Brent saying Bridesmaids was he funniest comedy he ever saw. I saw Bridesmaids, it wasnt all that. You know why Brent, cuz IM NOT A FAGGOT!

Hey Houston, post a fucking list or :gtfo:

 

[Houston]

Hey Houston, post a fucking list or :gtfo:

Top 4 members that need to "GTFO".




4. MVP- Strong entrance with Boondock Saints, but threw himself under the bus with his Ferris Buller's Day Off post.



3. Diivox- I don't mind that he doesn't like Drive, but the extremely large movie poster was uncalled for. He then follows it up with a retarded statement about Fight Club.



2. 1Ke- Besides the fact that he's under 40ppp, he called the thread "a bunch of shit". Did anyone else spot his mutiple grammatical errors? I've read drunken Firsttimer post that made more sense.




1. Rivers17ncsu- Has the most post in this thread, all of them bad.

 

[Derrville]

Iron Man is one of the most overrated POS ive ever watched.

 

[Lumpkin]

speaking of overrated comic book hero movies

Every critic loved it, was considered the best comic book movie prior to TDK. Saw it in the theaters, so fucking boring. Personally I'd rather watch 1 or even 3, there more entertaining (maybe not better movies but much more entertaining than that borefest)

I kind of disagree, but kind of agree. When I saw it in the theater I was the same as you were: bored out of my mind. Then, for whatever reason, over the years I started to like it a lot more, to the point now where I look on it very fondly. I'm no longer bored by it, and for some reason the cheeseball stuff is endearing to me. It is definitely overrated, particularly considering it was considered by many to be the best comic book movie until TDK (although I like Batman Begins better than SM2 as well), but I just wouldn't personally call it boring.

You two talk about people calling it "the best comic book film" as if it were a hard category. What competition did it have other then.....Superman?

Batman and (to some) Batman Returns were up there. Also Spiderman 1 arguably. And the reviews for it were stellar, and I don't think it's because every reviewer was looking at it through this lense of "well, be nice, it's a comic book movie".

 

[BrntO4Life]

I never said that. I mentioned it being the funniest movie of 2011, which isn't even close to the same thing.

Also, not sure how "being a faggot" equates to having a decent sense of humor. I'm sure you're of the belief that women can't be funny unless they're the butt of the joke, but keep your misogyny away from me.

When you say "Superman", I assume you mean "Superman II"?

If not, KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

the first three movies I posted were definitely overrated, especially Talladega Nights

Ah, so you're "Brent".

This is funny because I was the complete opposite with Spiderman 2. I saw it for the first time when I was in like 9th or 10th grade or sumshit and I was like "whaaaaat that was badass!" Each viewing after that I found it more and more boring and more and more cheesy. Now every time I see it on my DVD shelf, I shiver in regret.

I agree. I thought it was so badass, then you rewatch it and see the corny music and the awful acting of James Franco in that movie. Its so cliched to say it, but that franchise, looking back, just never went dark and gritty enough. it didnt have to be Batman gritty, but the entire trilogy was so lighthearted. WHich is why The AMazing spiderman will be amazing.
