Films that you have seen that you felt were totally overated

[BALDY]

Well in my case "The Last Picture Show" It is very highly regarded..I went to see it and it is such a boring film.
How I reached the ending is still totally beyond me!!

Over to you.....

The Godfather, its just so boring, haven't watched the other two the first one was enough.

 

[BALDY]

Fellini's 81/2 a load of overated boredom.
Blow Up a load of Bull.
The General (Buster Keaton) an outdated so called comedy.

Anything with Tom Cruise in it

Most of Nicolas Cage's films are questionable.
I do love "Leaving Las Vegas" though.

How about some of the strange French new wave films that the reviewers rave about?

“The Shawshank Redemption “absolutely bored through the whole film, I know I am in a very very small minority

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Venom starring Tom Hardy. Turned it off before half way through it.

Sorry how on earth you can say The Last Picture Show is " boring" I really don't know.One thing I would perhaps agree with you about is that a lot depends on your age when you first saw the film (although you don't actually mention this).I first saw TLPS when in first came out (in 1973 IRRC) -I've seen it many times since on DVD..Back in 73 I was a student so not much older than many of the film's young cast.The book on which it's based by Larry Mcmurtry is also gives an excellent coming of age description of young kids in a small Texas town.Also who can forget Sam the Lion?

Can't agree though it was very much a product of its time.

 

[Ricky Otto]

Not a film but for me breaking bad is massively overrated. It's not bad but some people put it up with the best TV series ever made, when it is pretty average

With the honourable exception of Rainman perhaps.

Most of them were great in their time.

Being as it was made 96 years ago, a silent film and in black and white of course The General is outdated by today’s standards. Btw, it’s not meant to be a rip-roaring comedy….or did you not realise….

That is true.It still stands up now (though not for the reasons it was made).
