BTW Inception is really good. It may take a while to understand but once u do u begin to appreciate it. Whoever wrote that script must be an alien life force. Whoever thinks of having dreams within dreams? Awesome. I suppose sucker punch is along the same line. Still haven't gotten the concept tho. Shld watch it again. 1 Like |

Inception was by far the best movie made in 2010...and among the top 3 of the decade! One simply has to listen, think abt it and you'd be blown away. To say a movie is trash after seeing it just once is all so wrng! Try watching most of these movies again, with subtitles and I tell you, you might just have a rethink - Inception, Adjustment Bureau, Avatar and Shutter Island. More than a decade ago, when the Matrix was creating so much buzz, a lot of us didn't understand the concept portrayed in the movie until after some rewatching. |

lalaosky: Abegii, make we hear word jare. I'm tired of peeps talking 3 Idiots all the time as if it's the S.I unit for Bollywood movies. I watch Indian movies a lot and I've seen many better ones. e.g. Ghajini (2008), Guzaarish (2010), Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001), Jodhaa Akbar (2008), Fanaa (2006), Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Namastey London (2007), Race (2008) etc. Try watch some of these movies if you haven't seen 'em and come back to thank me 3 Idiots is not THAT good and it's over-hyped IMO. 1 Like |

afam4eva: I saw it in a theater. Not only did it not live up to the hype, it just wasn't even great period. It was an above average movie that was over hyped through media, marketing, advertising, etc. 1 Like |

1. Avatar (blue aliens speaking some weird language? I don't dig at all) 2. Twilight (Stupid, lame-a$$ and annoying love story) 3. Safe House(seriously, what was this even about? Cos all I saw was a gunfight) 4. Lord of the Rings (wtf mehn?) 5. Pirates of the Caribbean- All of them (Seriously, let's not even go there) 6. Colombiana (I tried watching this movie twice and I slept even before halfway both times. That was how BORING it was) 7. Did I mention Avatar? Well, I'm just gonna say it again; AVATAR!!! |

as a movie enthusiast we have to understand the type of movie being chunked out by production houses can either be a pure entertainer or art work.The movies which are entertainers like avengers,spiderman,bourne series,these movies are just purely entertainment they can be of low quality like avengers and still sell at the box office,but we can have exception like dark knight series,inception which are entertainers and also of high quality.ALSO we have art house movies which the production houses don't expect to appeal to everybody but only few people,movies like this are in the name of the king,black swan,the aviator and many more of such movies.these art movies are not meant to sell at the box office also they are of far better quality than this entertainers movies. |

Inception is not overhyped. But some idiots think it's cool to say they like it when they really don't understand what went down in it. It's fine to say you didn't get it. That said, it's a great movie but I felt it should have concentrated on the means more than the end i.e. the dream within a dream within a dream thingie rather than just trying to get industrial secrets and edge. |

ogbeche77: I was talking about the movie 300, not 3 idiots, which I've never watched. 300 was over-hyped and when it came out, overpraised, in the west and the hype and undeserved excessive praise made the movie seem better than it was. |
Re: Waaaaaay Over Hyped Movies by PhysicsQED(m): 10:17pm On Oct 08, 2012 |
I definitely agree that Inception is not over hyped. That was a really great movie. |
Re: Waaaaaay Over Hyped Movies by Nobody: 11:00pm On Oct 08, 2012 |
PhysicsQED:Check Ur post again.. You quoted 3 idiots not 300... I agree 300 is over hyped too... |
Re: Waaaaaay Over Hyped Movies by PhysicsQED(m): 2:20am On Oct 09, 2012 |
ogbeche77: Well I quoted where afam4eva disagreed with my suggestion that 300 was overrated. His statement is on p.7 and my quote of his statement is on this page. Glad you and some other people agree on 300 being over hyped. I knew I couldn't be the only one that saw past the hype. |
