Donnie Darko was super overrated for being mediocre at best.

Also, Blade Runner. Yeah it was a pretty enjoyable movie, but man, that shit was slow. Blade Crawler.

Pretty much anything by Kubrick. Oh, and There Will Be Blood.
This includes Full Metal Jacket, The Shining and A Clockwork Orange? Well, A Clockwork Orange not so much, but the other two? I think they're all great, FMJ especially.

For me I'd have to say....High School Musical? It completely baffles me. The Matrix is way too much style over substance too.

Dark City. It was supposed to be all trippy and shit, but it was just a long, boring, poorly acted waste of time.

Or Twilight, which I haven't seen, but also don't need to because I saw the trailer and they picked the worst actors and they screwed up what was a fairly decent book. :mad:

Without a shadow of a doubt, I would have to say 2001. I found it almost unwatchable. Ridiculously long periods without dialogue, characters or even the semblance of a plot painted over with some cheap light show. My idea of film hell.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind. A couple of impressive scenes and ideas ruined by a rubbish and extremely lengthy ending that managed to avoid answering any of the questions that the rest of the movie had got me asking.

well, i think the worst made movie was "journey to the center of the earth", not the brendan frasier one, it's this weird movie from the 80s that has nothing to do with the new one...
it's so terrible that it's a must see, it will make you appreciate every other movie..
and it has kathy ireland if that means anything to anyone..

The Dark Knight, particularly regarding Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker. It was by no means a bad movie. It was actually pretty good; just nowhere near as good as Batman begins and hardly the amazing film that people were making it out to be.
I actually think Heath Ledger was the only good thing in this film. Other than him it was pretty bad. One little story arch smashes into the next, with little or no time for actual character development or plot structure. Because of this lack of character development, Two Face came across as a bit of a wuss, rather than a dangerous menace. They tried to incorporate way too much into this film, thusly the only parts that really came alive (Heath Ledgers Joker) were severely limited.

Not only that but the plot, at times, was pointlessly stupid. Even by Hollywood standards. "I will blow up a hospital"... ok... so the Joker has gone and wired an entire fucking hospital up with explosives, in a one hour, without anyone noticing anything? Was the plot written by a 9/11 truther I wonder? Then he wired up two ferries without anyone noticing? Knowing that one would be filled with criminals and the other with average folks?

So in this film the Joker is an invisible bomb expert who can carry 100s of pounds of explosives around hospitals without anyone noticing who also has the predictive powers of Nostradamus?

Caine and Freeman all gave wonderful performances, as they always do. Bales Bruce Wayne was also excellent... his Batman... not so much - Batmans fucking voice. Jeez what the hell where they thinking? Maggie Gylenhall appeared to not realize they were actually filming at the time and thusly gave very wooden performances. Look at this! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFAwV0DQ1CE] Why am I reminded of Anakin and Padame in Star Wars: Revenge of the Horrific Acting? I have seen better performances than this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpR-UtQ5UZ8&feature=PlayList&p=A46FD282DF57769B&index=8] on the damn A-Team. When she says "you make your own luck" I physically cringe. Watch this from 1:00 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRG1tWQN6e8&feature=related]. The superb performance of Ledger only serves to demonstrate how bad the other dude was. This film might have actually been better if The Joker was played by a less powerful actor.

It was a fun, leave your brain at home, and watch some explosions film (a-la Michael Bay). But horribly over-rated.

Titanic easily, 11 oscars and a worldwide boxoffice of $1,8 billion for that piece of crap?
Good news...

Hmm, I rarely watch movies beyond the ones I own already; however I would have to say any of the Harry Potter movies. The Bewitched movie was AWFUL, I also loathe anything with that hack of an actor - a term I use extremely loosely - Nicolas Cage.

I agree Will Ferrell is overrated.

Well I agree to Scorsese being screwed over many a time and he has made some great movies and it's a damn shame that he got an oscar for one of his worst films(in my opinion).

The oscars are overrated bullshit anyway, they did something similar with Heath Ledger's award, he would never have won it had he been alive and were having all the pressure to give it to him. Add to that the movie was BATMAN, who would ever expect a Batman movie to win an "academy award" in any category.

On the Obama thing I wouldn't have a clue as I don't follow British politics, never mind America's.

Napoleon Dynamite.

I had been told to no end how good this movie is, how much I'd like it, even how much I reminded them of the main character. (I don't see it, and I'm almost insulted anyone would even think to make the comparison.)

Then, I watch it and find something almost completely devoid of plot or action whatsoever.

Citizen Kane.

It's not a BAD movie, let's get that straight with me. It's not terribly bad since it's got good acting and the plot is in itself interesting.
But...lots of people call it the greatest film ever, and I don't see it. There's other way better stories out there, and ones with less massive plot holes.

What plot hole you ask?

The very beginning, when Kane says "Rosebud" as his last words.
The nurse attending him was not in the room at the time, she entered the room AFTER he passed away.

HOW did anyone know his last words were Rosebud?

House Of 1000 Corpses, what a pile of shit. The only thing I can compliment is the set design, that's it.

Quantum of solace, they hyped that movie up so much. I reckon Daniel Craig is the the best james bond but they give him crappy roles.
Same cept it is soley because Daniel Craig is the WORST Bond. He is a fine action guy, and I would not despise him if he was never Bond probably, but change is good sometimes but not all the time. Bond should be Bond, and they tried to make him NOT Bond and succeeded. And that is not a good thing.

I thought some of the costumes were pretty neat, and the puppets :3
