To be fair, graphic gay sex on the big screen is still quite rare.On twitter, I saw clips of people going nuts when Captain America grabbed Thor's hammer

Now that I would have enjoyed.To be fair, graphic gay sex on the big screen is still quite rare.
That's not the issue - it still remains highly subjective, and therefore a pretty pointless thread. If F&F4 had gathered a massive critical acclaim and won 14 oscars including best acting for Vin Diesel, I believe there might be a case to talk about objective overrating - beyond that, it's just people quoting popular and/or acclaimed films/classics because they didn't personally enjoy them. That's literally 95% of this thread. What exactly is it achieving? If I want to know about other posters' tastes, the movie review thread is the place to go.I think a lot of people mix "overrated" with "dislike", which causes a few people in here to scratch their heads. It's possible to like a movie a lot and still find it overrated.
Most of the posts don't contain lengthy elaborations, but I've always given them the benefit of the doubt and assumed that they could elaborate why they think the movie is overrated if asked to. Then again, articulating these things isn't easy for everyone, so I don't think these posts are pointless either.it's just people quoting popular and/or acclaimed films/classics because they didn't personally enjoy them. That's literally 95% of this thread
sorry, poor WUM attemptI'm warning you for this unless you can give some evidence for your claim.
Boo
Well if we're going to go down that road what is anything achieving?That's not the issue - it still remains highly subjective, and therefore a pretty pointless thread.

Ok fair enough, I am also a big fan of Nolan but I think interstellar is one of his best films but opinions will obviously differ.I'm a big fan of Nolan, but like OleBoiii said, just because I find it overrated doesn't mean I think it's a bad movie. I just don't understand or agree with the many people that rate it as one of the best ever. I don't even think it's Nolan's best. I found the writing to be a bit contrived, and dragged on for too long. I also did not feel much of a connection between Cooper and his kids, which was supposed to be integral to the story.
What do you need? An explosion every ten seconds or something? There is so much going on in Interstellar and Revenant is an amazing accomplishment.I think both The Revenant and Interstellar are overrated. They are very well made, with great cinematography, visual effects, and even the acting is absolutely top notch. But they're also very boring.
Interstellar is genuinely up there with my favourite films. So much to enjoy about that film.Ok fair enough, I am also a big fan of Nolan but I think interstellar is one of his best films but opinions will obviously differ.
Goddamn it I meant The Martian not Interstellar.Also Interstellar, one of the worst supposed-to-be-good films I've sat through in a long time.
I'll happily watch tripe on Syfy knowing it's tripe.
I was shocked at a the time, everyone I asked in real life thought it was good.
I've a heart condition. If you hit me it's murderIve got your back in that one buddy!
‘Ere ‘are ‘ere’

No. They were both just boring.What do you need? An explosion every ten seconds or something? There is so much going on in Interstellar and Revenant is an amazing accomplishment.
No. They weren'tNo. They were both just boring.
It makes sense, neither film needs anything extra.I don’t know if it makes sense, but more explosions is the last thing both films needed.
Yes they are, visually both are amazing accomplishmentsTwo beautiful films
So, no tension? I have to disagree. So many bits in Interstellar were tense, some really well judged scenes. Opening sequence, chasing the drone, the 'ghost', the duststorm, I could go on all the way through the film. Coupled with Hans Zimmers amazing soundtrack it's almost a perfect film ... in my eyes obviously.without any proper “tension”.
Dude, saying Interstellar was predictable had no content is just wrong. Sorry. Just wrong. Interstellar is a long film but almost had TOO much content. The Sci Fi awesomeness was underpinned amazingly by the Father / Daughter relationship and the agony of being apart for both Cooper and Murph is one of my favourite things about the movie. Blight ruining the earth is a great and very credible scenario and the ending in the 4th D was awesome. Proper bonkers sci fi. It's an ambituos and brave movie. A fantastical and massive story.but they were kind of predictable and... boring. I did enjoy them both to a certain extent, but I simply think they’re overrated. They’re good big budget movies, but not great stories. A lot of nice wrapping without good enough content.
I guess film is divisive like anything else. I think a film can be an amazing accomplishment just because of acting and cinematography. I love a good 'Journey' film and The Revenant is a journey and had me riveted throughout from first scene to last. I thought it was almost a perfect film.How is the revenant an amazing accomplishment? Not being sarcastic, I’m genuinely curious. Other than the cinematography and acting, it wasn’t really all that great movie wise.
/threadScarface. Didn't even have much of a scar.
I wouldn't call Interstellar boring, but it's extremely overrated which, to be fair, is a theme with Nolan post Dark Knight acclaim (deserved too given how good that was). Same with inception.What do you need? An explosion every ten seconds or something? There is so much going on in Interstellar and Revenant is an amazing accomplishment.
Very glad you clarified this as I've offered to fight anybody who dares suggest that film in this thread.sorry, poor WUM attempt
it's one of my favourites films of all time!
I liked that film (assuming you mean Gone Baby Gone) but, looking back, it was a pretty cliched story saved by an excellent performance from Amy Ryan.That first big film directed by Ben Affleck - No idea why it was critically acclaimed
You love both films, and that is fair. But the fact that you think both are almost perfect films really underlines my point about them both being massively overrated.No. They weren't

I think this is the essential problem.They just didn't click right with me, especially with all the hype they both got. I was looking forward to both films, and were very disappointed after watching them. They left me with an "empty" feeling.
It’s all about the click dude, whether it’s films, music or anything else. We all click at different things.They just didn't click right
Just checked - it was as ArgoI liked that film (assuming you mean Gone Baby Gone) but, looking back, it was a pretty cliched story saved by an excellent performance from Amy Ryan.
I agree, I usually avoid trailers previews and summaries because I don't want any jokes or important scenes ruined for me. I watched Interstellar with zero expectations though. Still underwhelmed. I did like The Revenant however , in the same way I enjoyed Cast Away. It was well acted.I think this is the essential problem.
Often due hype in the media or those in our social circle telling us how amazing a film is we go in with an expectation which is rarely lived up to.
Not sure how Skare feels but I was not convinced at all by their relationship. In fact, I felt Randy Quaid had a stronger emotional connection with his kids in ID4 than Cooper. I actually liked the sci fi stuff, particularly the wormhole theory, I found it thought provoking. Still can't understand how some of you see it as a masterpiece thoughDude, saying Interstellar was predictable had no content is just wrong. Sorry. Just wrong.

This, a film can be amazing without some complicated, masterful story plot, there can be beauty in simplicity. You can make an amazing film without one word spoken. The Revenant is an amazing movie.I guess film is divisive like anything else. I think a film can be an amazing accomplishment just because of acting and cinematography. I love a good 'Journey' film and The Revenant is a journey and had me riveted throughout from first scene to last. I thought it was almost a perfect film.
As a father who has a daughter of similar age to Murph in the movie I couldn’t help but imagine myself in the same boat, having to say goodbye to my daughter and disappear with her not speaking to me.Not sure how Skare feels but I was not convinced at all by their relationship. In fact, I felt Randy Quaid had a stronger emotional connection with his kids in ID4 than Cooper.
You made me curious so I checked his IMDB profile. Holy shit! He's directed 41 films in less than 50 years. He must be a workaholic. I've only seen 3 movies of his: Letters From Iwo Jima, Gran Torino and American Sniper. Good, decent, meh.Half of Clint Eastwood's films as a director are overrated in my book. They're solid yes, good some of them even, but other than Million Dollar Baby none of them are really memorable
