what are the most overhyped and over rated movies, according to you and why?

TJL · 08-18-2007, 08:50 AM

Off the top of my head, The Matrix movies.

The first one was very good, but the 2nd and 3rd were a big letdown.

Never do a trilogy when you don't know what's going to happen in parts 2 and 3.

Good Topic

I'd say the HarrY Potter movies. I just never got the fascination with the books or the movies.

ABlairican Pie · 08-18-2007, 10:56 PM

Bratz 4, 5, and 6.

Oh yeah, they haven't made 2 and 3 yet.

American Beauty - to this day, that is the only movie I've ever seen at the theater where I walked out before it was over. I still think it's one of the most overrated movies of the last 25-30 years.

You didn't like American Beauty, Monika? I thought that movie was amazing.

I just never got into it - almost everyone else I knew who saw it loved it. I kept saying, "Did we see the same movie??"

On the flip side - I just loved The Majestic, and it got horrible reviews and flopped at the box office. The one positive review on the movie I read was from Roger Ebert. So to this day, I think Roger and I were the only people who enjoyed The Majestic.

Matt Damon.

How could we forget to add your favorite, Jennifer Lopez?

With the exception of Selena, almost everything else she has starred in is trash.

Thank you, Matt Damon.

HALLELUJAH!!!!!! AMEN TO THAT MY SISTER! I agree, Selena was awesome. The rest, I wouldn't use for cat litter, what an insult to the cat.

A few years ago, my sister and I went on a girls movie night and couldn't decide if we wanted to see Maid in Manhattan or Two Weeks' Notice. I recall we flipped a coin and MIM won the toss. That movie was so cheesy and derivative - plus Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes had absolutely no chemistry together. They are one of the most unconvincing screen couples in recent memory.

Months later I rented Two Weeks' Notice when it came to DVD. That one was no great shakes either, but at least it was an improvement over MIM.

You reminded me of that Xanadu and Two of a Kind thread...which is worst?

Now that I've seen both - Two of a Kind was much, MUCH worse than Xanadu. That flick was HORRIBLE!!
