Over hyped films

[philontour]

..Overhyped film?

Tell you what it would have to be a particularly bloody argument, that, to gain traction whatsoever in the filmwatchers guild.

In my opinion, it is. Granted, I’m not in the filmwatchers guild and I don’t have a film degree but it’s one of the few films I can watch in one sitting and have watched multiple times.

Others include Prestige, The Departed, Godfather
I, Cool Runnings, and Toy Story 1.

Avatar - smurfs meets ferngully with a bit of technology

Scarface - drugs, money, guns - boring

Dunkirk -proper let down

 

[The Hesford Diet]

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Richard Dreyfus plays with potatoes and a spaceship plays a tune on a Rolf Harris Stylophone before abducting a little boy.

Fight Club for me. Utter shite.

Really, I thought I was going out on a limb? Everyone seems to love it.

The Dead Poets Society

2 1/2 hours of my life I'll never get back

Captain my Captain; my arse

 

[joemcdokes]

Star Wars- apart from the original 1977 film.

I watched it live.

 

[Latka Gravas]

Once upon a time in Hollywood, utter guff.

The Dead Poets Society

2 1/2 hours of my life I'll never get back

Captain my Captain; my arse

Terrible shit-piece of shit for sure.

 

[Roman maroni]

Once upon a time in Hollywood, utter guff.

It's worse than that mate.

 

[Phantom of mobs]

Jurassic park.

Walked out.

 

[mickb2112]

Pulp Fiction - absolutely awful. Not helped in anyway by a bunch of students behind guffawing their way through and saying the lines a second before they were said on the film

 

[ErichZann]

Avatar is a shit Ferngully

Genuinely hate the film, would chuck black swan in the same category but the Mila Kunis scenes save it from that fate.

inception.....its f***ing stupid

I liked Black Swan. Admittedly the scenery made it more watchable.

Mila Kunis or Meatloaf - not even a bat out of hell junkie can prefer Fight Club.

Once upon a time in Hollywood, utter guff.

Biggest let down of a film in the last decade for me. Was really looking forward to it, which is unusual for me as I'm not massive movie buff. But what a load of SHITE

 

[cluffy]

Confessions of a Pop Star, not a patch on Window Cleaner, very diappointed.

Shocking! Pop Star is amazing man. It's got Kipper in it for a start. Like Mott The Hoople on acid.

Silence of the Lambs. Far fetched and full of plot holes

. "I found Dracula and Frankenstein far-fetched too!"
I've watched loads of fillums in lockdown and the only one I haven't enjoyed was Saint Jack (1979) though I don't think it's had much hype. f***ing shite although it has naked ladies and Rodney Bewes in it to be fair.
