Overrated Movies

The wedding episode is by far and away the best though.

No.

Speaking of Ridley Scott, Gladiator also hasn’t been mentioned in here yet.

So Heat & Gladiator get a big thumbs up. Thank god.

Gladiator I will give you but not Heat. Heat is a huge influence on many action films and is highly regarded by a lot of film directors.

It might not be to everyone’s liking but it is still a hugely influential film.

I have it on DVD and have tried to watch it a few times, but the sound quality is awful, dialogue can hardly be heard.

I rewatched 4 Weddings and a Funeral earlier this year. Man that was overrated!!!

La La Land was boring rubbish.

Obvious omission is Journey to the centre of the earth.

And 20000 leagues under the sea.
Good call

Journey at least matches SW for cheesiness, which is pretty impressive.

As a bit of a side story, I remember going to the movies as a 10ish year old to watch Splash. Unfortunately the movie hadn’t made it to SW Vic so it was replaced by Champions. A movie about a jockey that was battling cancer and won the Grand National. I’m sure it was a fantastic achievement. But as a 10yo, I wanted to see a near nude Daryl Hannah.

I somehow found my way into a double feature screening of Last Action Hero and Cliffhanger back in 1993. I was only just 10y/o.

Still no idea how we got in there, bless the Laurieton Regent Cinema.

A movie being about the performing arts that’s set in LA is an almost guaranteed sign of being a stinker.

What about the Bollywood actor Otm Shank?

I’ve been watching Christmas movies each night in December (stop laughing)

Watched “Christmas all over again”. Vasically like groundhog day on Christmas eve.
Was rated 4/10, which makes it very overrated.
