'Thats So Overrated'

[Shoggoth2588]

Movies: The Blair Witch Project. A lot of people talk about how great it was and, how revolutionary it was but I just thought it was utter garbage.

The Dark Knight. I liked the movie but Nolan's movies really don't feel like Batman movies. It's like watching a mob movie featuring Batman. Also Ledger was great but he's by no means my favorite Joker. He's third in my top three and his laugh was under-utilized.

Music: I can't really comment here since I dislike most popular music like stuff by Beiber and Gaga, etc. I'll leave those names up though.

Game: Street Fighter as a franchise. I had SF2 on the SNES but I never liked it as much as Killer Instinct or, Primal Rage. While I think about it, what the hell ever happened to Bloody Roar too?

Book: I don't care at all for Mark Twain at all.

...based on a true story...

It wasn't even based on a true story. They admit that in the DVD commentary. lol

 

[Blood Countess]

for me, Band has to be Nirvana, bland talentless crap and people act like they are as good as the beatles*I like the beatles*

Book- the bible, sorry it's a horrible fantasy story

game, Half Life and Metal Gear Solid - both are just dull to me and I saw nothing special to them

Film, Silence of the Lambs - not really scary and the main Hannibal was cartoonish to me

 

[Slowpool]

Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller books. They're ok, but but I have a couple of friends that talk about them as though they're the Most Holy Turds of Christ himself. They're pretentious, and the main character is an arrogant cock.

The Twilight series, but that's hardly a revolutionary topic in this thread. I tried reading them, I really did, just to see if all the hate was justified. Silly me for doubting.

Heath Ledger's Joker. That's not a smile. It doesn't even LOOK like one.

There are so many others that I can't even think of them. I shall return to offer my genuinely valid opinions if I do.

MY LITTLE PONY. YEA I SAID IT, AND I'D SAY IT AGAIN!!!

Aside from that... booze. Many people, including the people I work with (US Navy), insist booze makes life more fun. I don't believe it. I've tried booze of all kinds, and while it's okay every now and then when socializing, I don't care for the taste, nor do I care to get drunk. I can have a great time without inhibiting my brain, and to say you can't only shows how depressing an outlook you must have. You have to make yourself stupid to have fun? Come on.

 

[AdeptaSororitas]

Music: The Beatles and Bob Marley. Uhg -.-

Also in games: Final Fantasy 7. Sorry, not that great.

CoD it's bland and the same game every year, you have the short and boring campaign, the stupid multiplayer with 0 dedicated servers and occasionally the zombies which is ok but not worth 70$ for plus 15$ per new map

How much can I agree?

Any modern shooter, you god damn pick one, every year is chalk full of them.

And the Elder Scroll series.

"Oh I can take a dragon soul, what about THAT guy's over there?"

"Oh you can't take that."

"But I can take the soul of the most powerful creature easily?"

"Yeah."
Gotta love em continuity breaks.

What is with the people who make these threads?

Do you guys even know what an opinion is? Yes, your brother / friend / mother / dog all love that one movie; you don't have to agree with their opinion and you certainly don't need to make an entire thread to tell us that.

You know how at one point they said the Escapist was "the last bastion of intelligence on the internet". Fuck that. It's just turning out the HQ for cynics and wannabe critics. Seriously, not all of you are Yahtzee; he's got the talent to make his negative opinions sound interesting and funny. Not everyone has that.

So now we can't express our opinion, is your statement.
Do you honestly, in any way, think people here won't complain about something? Doll, we ain't walking angels. If were cynical, and critical, why the hell are you being cynical and critical about how were complaining. You basically are what you despise in your post.
A full circle of irony lingers from your post.

*Edit* Also, were not forcing it down your throat, therefore, you can't complain.

 

[Gaiseric]

Book: Harry Potter(I found them boring)
Movie: Goodfellas(My brothers hyped this up so much and when I watched it I was completely uninterested)
Music:

Music: The Beatles and Bob Marley. Uhg -.-

I'm not alone!
Game: Oblivion

Uh, that's not a continuity break.

1) You can take (almost) anything's soul with a soul gem and the soul trap spell, including people if you have the right kind.

2) You can only take dragon souls because you are the dragon-born. It's a special ability that goes with the title. Perhaps if you were the mudcrab born, you could take mudcrab souls, but you're not, so oh well.

If you're gonna complain that something is over-rated, have your complaints make sense first. You could've easily said the combat doesn't appeal to you, or the story, or just about anything else really and it would've worked.

I said that in particular because I thought it was funny that I could, SOMEHOW take the souls of dragon from birth, but not as easily as my mail guy. I just thought it was silly. =3

Oh, can we be a Mudcrad Born from choice?

 

[twistedmic]

I'm going to say that practically every single movie made by Stanley Kubrick was highly overrated. The ones that I've seen- 'The Shining', 'Full Metal Jacket', 'Barry Lyndon' and 'A Clockwork Orange'- have been exceedingly long and boring. Each one mentioned could have lost about half an hour, or more, of footage and still have been good movies.

 

[Dogstile]

Man fuck the Beatles, i'm British, they're meant to be our baby and I hate 'em.

Aside from that, Metallica, Quentin Tarintino and well, all self righteous opinions on the Escapist and continuing on from that, the internet!

Im British too, everyone expects us to love The Beatles.

Surely you mean the people on the Internet, the Internet is an amazing invention. Pretty much any information at your fingertips. I can't imagine writing ANY of my assignments for University without the internet.

Its why I said opinions. If we're going with cold hard facts then the internet is actually brilliant.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

GTA IV. Most overrated game ever. It got near perfect scores from everyone... I thought it was generous to call it a 5...

Ahh I misread it, apologies Good sir. Back to being British....where did i put my top hat....

I agree. If you don't like these sort of threads why take the time to post in them? Just ignore them.

The point of the thread is 'Do you have an opinion that is different the the 'normal' opinion' Which i find quite interesting, personally.

Ignore all the posts. My internet spazzed out.

Oblivion. Yeah, it's good, but not THAT good. The mods are cool, though.

Half-Life 2. An average shooter with a gravity gun. That's the only exception.

Mass Effect 2. Sure, the dialogue's good, but the gameplay? Wash, rinse, repeat.
