My list of overrated movies.

Posted by FightingSeraph - November 16th, 2008


1. Ghost in the Shell: Even though Masamune Shirow is a great robot designer, I found this movie to be boring as hell. Sure the animation was nice, and one of the guys from the 80s sitcom Night Court did some of the voices; but this was about as entertaining as watching tumbleweed roll around.

2. Princess Mononoke: What's the big deal!? I find Hayao Miyazaki's stuff flat and hollow, and the fact this has gotten rave reviews over Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is just revolting. Sure it was violent, but so is Fist of the North Star (which was actually entertaining). I've seen better character development in the Gradius anime and a better plot in Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Killer Mutant Snowman.

3. Dogma: I blame the ending for this, but the rest of this movie was pretty damn dull. This is why I usually stay away from Kevin Smith's movies (although I did like Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back).

4. Transformers the Movie (1986): I know a lot of you will hate me for including this, but even though I did like it; it just wasn't very entertaining. As the Transformers, it suceeded; as a movie it failed miserably. Of course I blame the writers for that.

5. Shrek the Third: I liked the first two Shrek movies, but this was just awful. This is why I think that Shrek is a greedy, pointless franchise that exists to produce generic cash-in sequels. Even though I like Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy, this was just too much of the same.

6. X-Men 3: The Last Stand: David Hayter, who co-wrote these, stopped being cool after X2, and aside from Juggernaut; this was just boring as hell to watch. Throw in the fact that Jean Grey was no longer cool, and Wolverine is the most overused character of all the X-Men in the comics. At least they ended the X-Men films with this instead of making a fourth one.

7. Ferris Bueller's Day Off

8. Epic Movie: Even though I liked Scary Movie, this was droll and reeked of cash-in.

9. Young Frankenstein: I like Mel Brooks, but this film didn't live up the hype around it. I'll take Spaceballs or Robin Hood: Men in Tights any day.

10. The Simpsons Movie: Sure this had a few funny moments, but I'm siding with those who are tired of the Simpsons. Then again, Family Guy and Futurama aren't that better.


Comments

This is based on the only movies above I've seen.

3. Dogma- I actually found this movie very entertaining, as I do with almost every Kevin Smith movie.

4. Transformers: The Movie- I'm assuming your talking about the recent film and not the old cartoon version of the movie. I thought it was an alright movie, and I kinda agree with you on the overrated part.

5. Shrek The Third: Once again, I agree with you on this one. I didn't find this entertaining at all, it was just pitiful.

8. Epic Movie: Although many people didn't like this movie, I found it pretty funny. Not near as funny as the "Scary Movie" series, but pretty entertaining.

Just my opinions...

No offence, but I was talking about the original 1986 movie. I'm not saying that it was bad, just didn't live up to the hype of the tv cartoons.
