Home Alone 2 : Lost in New York
it's just a retread of the first Home Alone.
And it has TEH TRUMP
- doesn't something have to be considered generally good first before it can be overrated?monospaced
- ^sarahfailin
- no... you think?docpoz
- bad? hmmmdocpoz
- yes it does. that’s quite literally the actual definition of overratedmonospaced
- did you just answer your own question?docpoz
- yes, but I was also pointing out that you don't know what overrated means, and that you're post is doing it wrongmonospaced
- aka, Home Alone 2 isn't overrated, because it's poorly rated alreadymonospaced
- this post was facetious and im glad i wasted your time because you didnt realize itdocpoz
- its actually a well made film and probably underrateddocpoz
- part 1 anywaysdocpoz
- ok, so you wasted your own time posting what you think is an underrated movie in a thread about overrated movies, which is really just a shit moviemonospaced
- youre wasting your time right nowdocpoz
- and you're still wrongmonospaced
- your existence is wrongdocpoz
- your opinion (and your attempt at an insult) is meaningless, and doesn't change the fact that you're wrong heremonospaced
- i was trying to be stupid and funny and you didnt get the joke.docpoz
- "Wasting your time"? Like this site is ever visited for any other reason than wasting ones time. LOL.Hayzilla

- ?Gnash
- I totally agree. These people were the dumbest, most awful characters I ever saw. I don't know how Scorcese keeps getting away with this shit.CyBrainX
- OMG.docpoz
- what next, Taxi Driver?Gnash
- seriouslydocpoz
- Come to think of it all of his characters are flawed,nobody is likeable when it comes down to it but that’s what makes his films so great_niko
- Not Taxi Driver. De Niro's character was fascinating. I could hardly say about about the people in Raging Bull.CyBrainX

Might catch hell for this, but Shawshank Redemption is a sappy overdrawn must-have on people's top-10 lists for reasons I can't really understand.
- good catchhans_glib
- Sappy is a bit excessive. I think it's a great movie but I have to be in the mood for it's length.CyBrainX
- thats what she saiddocpoz
- (i agree with this one)Gnash
- gutsy take. I like it.sarahfailin
- Great flick if you watch it once or twice. By the tenth time it gets sappy.BusterBoy
- Love this flick, but you're wholly rightNairn

Field of Dreams
Insultingly stupid. They guy hallucinates and clears out a huge section of his crops while the bank is about to foreclose his farm. His wife hardly complains. Ghosts appear to play baseball. James Earl Jones co-hallucinates with someone else in Fenway Park and denies it. The list goes on.

Goodfellas and it's stepchild Casino.
I don't care for Italian stereotypes screaming fuck at each other and Joe Pesci is about the most vile fictional character ever conceived. Sure, he dies as violently as he deserves but it's way to late in both movies. And getting head from Sharon Stone? That crosses a line.

Aliens
Take Ridley SCott's horror masterpiece and put it in a war movie.
STill so good, though... but overrated. Terminator is Cameron's real breakthrough.
- fuck you dude, this movie is UNDER-rated. dragged down by every other aliens movie since Aliens.sarahfailin

Can we just get back to listing films like Titanic?
I'm not liking the direction this thread is going- You don't like Titanic?Fax_Benson
- qoobs are mixing films in with movies. sometimes a 'movie' transcends itself and becomes a film. but it doesn't work the other way around.Gnash
- a bad film is unwatchable. a bad movie can still entertainGnash
- film is a piece of celluloid. but your explanation was sweet in it's nobility.docpoz
- (@fax. couldn't stand it)Gnash
- LOL @ Gnashoey
- what? defug is the difference between film and movie?pango
- also fuk titanic. definitely overratedpango
- DRAW ME LIKE YOUR FRENCH GIRLSdocpoz
- Differentiating film from movie is a bit pretentious.CyBrainX
- it isGnash
- is it?oey
- lets go to the movies.
lets see a film.
hm...is digital still film?oey - Nodocpoz
- I havent shot film since pharmacy disposablesdocpoz

"Overrated" means people loved it. That usually means you're gonna get decent titles in here, not bad ones.
That said, I would have to say Lincoln. I can't tell you how many people personally raved to me about it, in addition to the many fatuous critics. And it was dead on the screen, with the addition of those ridiculous Spielberg touches, like having Civil War combatants recite the Gettysburg Address to LIncoln himself. I mean WTF was that.
I remember my dad hearing me out, and then responding, "Yeah, but the *history*," which I think is just mental. Read a book about it. Watch the History Channel. The movie sucked.
- mansplaining?docpoz
- ya, like Titanic! Not raging bull!!!Gnash
- this is how I feel about Barry Lyndon. Maybe Im just too much of an immature fucktwat to understand the historical context but it was boring and unappealingdocpoz
- (I have to admit, i never really go into kubrick)Gnash
- ^shame! shame! shame!sarahfailin
- (hence my whispering it in parentheses)Gnash
- You made me chuckleCALLES
- the movie bored the fuck outta me... zzzPonyBoy
- I think this movie polarizes people who are interested in history and those who aren't. Either way, any movie with Daniel Day Lewis is fine by me.CyBrainX

- that doesn't mean it's generally considered good, only that people went in droves to see a sequel because the kids wanted tomonospaced
- "winning is what their calling art"docpoz
- *they'redocpoz
- nobody thinks home alone 2 is good.i get thatdocpoz
- hence, it's not overratedmonospaced
- if, for example, it was lauded as a quality film in the industry, it would be overrated. But it's not. In fact, it's rated fairly.monospaced
- right. finally more than one sentence from the monodocpoz
- So why were we talking about superhero movies?docpoz
- I know I'm right. Thanks.monospaced
- like Madonna, totally overrated.oey
- or Bowieoey

All of them, pieces of shit.

- Sorry but I really liked Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. Even Waterboy had a few laughs. Can't say much for the rest but there are far worse comedy actors.SteveJobs
- Yea I dug Happy Gilmore, toodocpoz
- Most of the time, yes. But his dramatic roles – The Meyerowitz Stories, Punch-Drunk Love – are somehow stellar.e-wo
- Punch drunk love was amazing.monospaced
- His new stand up special on netflix is well worth a watch if you have any love for him at all.mandomafioso
- I thought Funny People was great too. And the Myerwitz Stories.bogue
- I def preferred Greenberg, While We're Young and Frances Ha to Myerwitzdocpoz
- He does a good angry.BH26
- OVERATEDhotroddy
- He raps now. Updated his shtick.docpoz
- yeah happy Gilmore was the high water mark, but still it wasn't that high.. its just that voice. kill me nowautoflavour
- The Jews™cannonball1978
- got kids? that's why... kids fucking love his stuff... it serves it's purpose... I've watched happy gilmore with my kids and we laughed our asses off..exador1
- when kids get to a certain age, they don't want disney, they want something a bit different... that's his target I'm thinking...exador1
- He's been a piece of shit since SNL. Opera Man was typical. Never funny to begin with and then it drags on forever.CyBrainX
- The only movie of his I like is The Longest Yard and that was because he was a straight man and everyone else was funny. So, no. I'm not giving him any credit.CyBrainX
- Punch drunk Love & Happy Gilmore are his only decent films.Hayzilla

- Summarizes a lot of peoples feelings about film and tv. Couldn't get into GOT then I loved it, then meh... Mood and attn span dictates a lot I think.SteveJobs
- Also, was never able to finish Braveheart... just couldn't care.SteveJobs
- Yes. Family Guy is painfully overrated. It wants to be the SImpsons in its prime but all it does is imitate Star Trek.CyBrainX
