What are the most overrated movies of all time?

[Tulsi/Tucker/DeSantis Stan]

And no I don’t count films like Titanic or Avatar. They’re terrible movies but so many people call then overrated they aren’t overrated anymore imho.

[Tulsi/Tucker/DeSantis Stan]

The Dark Knight: One truly great performance amidst a muddled, messy plot and generally poor acting otherwise. The dialogue is stilted, and Nolan (as usual) cares more about constructing elaborate and memorable set pieces than character development.

The Matrix: Its revolutionary special effects are aging poorly, and this is making people realize that the rest of the movie just isn't that special. However, the movie is still much better than its sequels, which people hated even at the time.

ET: An unrelentingly sappy, heartstring-tugging Spielberg love-fest that pales in comparison to Close Encounters. While its impact on pop culture can't be denied, it doesn't seem to be standing the test of time in the way that (for example) Raiders of the Lost Ark has. I know of very few people who would count it among their favorite films today.

Hugo: Arguably Martin Scorsese's worst directorial effort, with a whopping 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. This movie is colossally predictable; it borrows heavily from better films that deal with the same subject matter, and its visual effects are more distracting than groundbreaking.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An ADHD mishmash for man-children, assembled from disconnected plotlines featuring Nazis, aliens, Norse gods, billionaire inventors, mad scientists, and mutants. Tonally inconsistent from beginning to end. The few decent films in the series are the standalone adventures, which at least have a semblance of continuity. The big Avengers movies, however, are impossible-to-follow clusterf**ks of ugly, cluttered CGI bodies flailing around the screen. Age of Ultron is the worst entry in the series, but Black Panther gets a special shoutout as "most overrated" because of the morons who see it as some kind of civil rights milestone.

The Harry Potter series: While I defend the books as a shining example of children's literature, these movies are quite terrible. The child actors simply aren't believable; Emma Watson is a terrible actress, which is probably why she has begun to abandon that career path in favor of activism. The bright moments are mostly from Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith, but they cannot save these films from being sterile reproductions of much better original stories.

Disney Wars: There are maybe two truly great Star Wars films, as well as two others that are fun to watch just for so-bad-it's-good purposes. The Disney trilogy and Rogue One, however, are truly unwatchable. It is painfully obvious watching these films that Disney's corporate suits had no plan whatsoever for the overarching plot of the series; they simply threw together a series of disconnected scenes and hoped that they would meet the low bar for fan service. None of the logic in these movies coheres because there is essentially no story to them.

Gladiator: To discuss it is to overrate it.

Moonlight: A poorly conceived drama about a gay black kid that managed to win an Oscar through pure white liberal guilt. The main character in this movie is a blank slate. He has no personality aside from being a victim, and this is not enough for him to carry the entire movie on his back. The "seamless" performances by the three actors who play him succeed because they hardly need to act in order to depict this character.

The Oscar Bait Biopic """True Stories""": The Theory of Everything. Bohemian Rhapsody. The Imitation Game. Hidden Figures. The Dig. Trumbo. On the Basis of Sex. Loving. Mr Turner. Darkest Hour. All the Money in the World. A United Kingdom. Ford v Ferrari. Selma. The Professor and the Madman. The Post. Florence Foster Jenkins. If you've seen one of them, you've seen them all. None of them are worth anyone's time.

I agree with pretty much nearly everything here. However, The Dark Knight is still atleast top 100 of all time, no matter how overrated it is.

Also, the Harry Potter books also suck. Not as much as the movies, but still.

The Matrix

I like it philosophically but yeah, it’s aged sort of poorly.

And no I don’t count films like Titanic or Avatar. They’re terrible movies but so many people call then overrated they aren’t overrated anymore imho.

I've never seen Avatar, but I would say that Titanic is an excellent movie.

I’ve never finished Titanic.

The Dark Knight.

Still a great movie but yeah it’s overrated

Deadpool: I made it about half way through and had to turn it off. The characters were unlikable, the humor felt soulless and manufactured, and I don't even remember what the plot or conflict were supposed to be. Maybe it gets better at the end, I don't know.

Bridge to Terabithia: This is mostly forgotten as far as I can tell, but the fact that this didn't go down as one of the worst high-budget movies of recent decades along with the likes of Battlefield Earth or Movie 43 still tells me it's still vastly overrated. I went to see this for a friend's birthday party and there were a grand sum total of two reactions from everyone in that theatre: crying or uproarious laughter. It was truly shocking as a member of the audience, even as a kid, to see how badly that movie handled the last half hour or so. If you want to watch a somewhat similar, but I believe very underrated movie, check out the Last Mimzy.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: I really don't see why this has become part of the Holiday Canon. I don't think there's a single moment I laughed when watching it. It feels exactly like one of those sequels that are solely made because the last movie turned more of a profit than the execs were expecting and the actors didn't have anything else lined up. Very Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Then again, I'm also weird in that European Vacation is probably my favorite of the National Lampoon's Vacation movies.

Dead on with Deadpool. Unfunny, repetitive, bland, and it comes across as insulting to the audience’s intelligence

X-men Apocalypse that movie was so bad it failed it's expectations

Dark Phoenix was terrible too

Amazing Spider-man was so bad they fired Andrew Garfield a 30 yr old actor isn't a good idea to play a teenager

Miss Marvel, they said it was bad and it definitely wa

Justice League that's why Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill aren't acting in movies any longer

Thor III was bad too

None of these movies are overrated, everyone hates them.

That being said I only watched The Amazing Spider Man out of all of these movies, and that too in 2012.
