Overrated movies.

Titanic was/is awful and overrated

Same thing with the Harry Potter, Twilight and Lord of the Rings movies

Exactly, they are.  Here are mine:

My #1 pick is Napoleon Dynamite, which is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, if not the very worst.  It's incredibly boring and incredibly stupid at the same time.  For most of the movie, I was trying to figure out what was going on, and we don't even find out if Pedro got elected class president.
Anyway, the second most overrated movie in my opinion was (big surprise) Finding Nemo.  The animation was the usual ugly, artificial CGI, it wasn't particularly interesting, and it was WAY too scary.  Of course, there is one traditionally animated film that I think is overrated too, and that was Fantasia  I don't remember much of it, but everybody knows the sorcerer Mickey segment ("The Sorcerer's Apprentice").  I'm surprised more parents never complained about that segment promoting Satanism and the occult. 
Avatar was also horribly overrated.  Seriously, that was one of the most boring films I've ever seen (except Napoleon Dynamite, of course.)  The Pirates of the Caribbean series was also very overrated.  I only saw the first one when it was first released (I was about 9 or 10), but it was so boring that I now regret that I never walked out of it.  Just about every Pixar film outside the Toy Story series probably makes the list too.  Of course, there are many, many more.

And then there are the movies that are good but still don't deserve quite as much praise as they get, but that's for another time.

Star Wars


*waits...*

And yes, Pedro did get elected Class President. Don't you remember the party?

No, I don't remember the party.  Probably because I was bored out of my mind watching Napoloen Dynamite.

I've only seen part of "Braveheart", but was not a huge fan of it by any stretch. Maybe if I'd paid more attention, but in any case, I didn't. As well, when looking into wikipedia, I found that there were some utterly unforgivable historical errors.

Wikipedia also has some utterly unforgivable historical errors.

No, I'm trying to correct you utterly unforgivable historical errors.

Really dude, name one person on here who has said that the Republicans didn't promote Civil Rights in the Reconstruction Era and that the chief opposition to the CRA of 1964 were the large amounts of white Southern Republicans.  Also, name one person who said that Woodrow Wilson was a Civil Rights hero and that Calvin Coolidge was the President who locked up all the Japanese looking people.

Those are what I would consider "unforgivable historial errors", but I guess such views are subjective. . . . . .

Don't you mean white Southern Democrats?

I just thought of another: the remake of The Karate Kid.  I have yet to see the original, but I could tell from the remake that the original is vastly superior. 
And if we're talking about accuracy, the remake should really be called The Kung Fu Kid.
I have a feeling that Elf is overrated as well.
