crackhaus:
Of course Fast & Furious will be overrated to any girly girl.
What did you want to enjoy from such a badass testosterone-driven movie?

Personally though, I wasn't feeling the franchise from the beginning, it was only after it gathered steam at Fast Five that my attention became drawn to it once more. I liked 2fast 2furious but totally hated Tokyo Drift.

I hear Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron are going to appear in the latest installment...and Jo, Helen Mirren is a damn good actress. Any movie she so much as walks through can not be overrated.

Joavid: Charlie Theron sounds good. she dey try.
but what will Helen Mirren do in fast and furious? that old woman

the last fast and furious was just xtupidly hilarious. a car going through 3 skyscraper buildings, cars flying down from the air? the whole story line is too easy, predictable and sketchy abeg.

crackhaus:

Probably something along the line of what she did in Red. Doesn't matter anyway, she ends up delivering regardless.

Do you really want to argue the scientific possibility of a car going through skyscrappers or flying gliding down in the air?

Joavid:
Hello people.

The other day, my friend was saying how much he hates the Twilight movies and he thinks it's overrated. and come to think of it, there are a whole lot of overrated movies. That is, you don't get the hype but everyone is going high on it.
Actors and actresses too.

I will go first.

My random three overrated movies

Titanic
Yes Titanic. James Cameron is an amazing director. However, the story itself was hardly interesting or creative and the dialogue was absolutely terrible. Were there good aspects to the movie? Of course: special effects, song, the actors (although the acting itself could only do so much with the dialogue!).

Avatar.
Ok, I'll admit that at the time of its release we hadn't seen special effects that good. And for some reason that was enough.
Infact, i'm convinced future generations are going to be amazed that Avatar was the highest grossing movie of all time - because it's badly written, badly acted, has a hopelessly derivative story, it's incredibly predictable and it's just boring.

The Fast and Furious franchise.
I actually love how fast and furious fast and furious is.
Do you know Furious 7 is the 6th highest grossing movie of all time?
but then, it's just a mindless, cheesy action flicks with fast cars and hot babes. How will we explain that the most popular movie franchise of our time is about fast cars, half-naked women, cheesy lines about family, and men on steroids communicating through grunts?
I can't

I really hope y'all contribute. don't leave me hanging please

Ok, here are my thoughts on Titanic & Avatar and why they're not overrated.

Titanic
Love stories and abundant and usually tiring & boring. Every single love story has been repeated innumerable times over history. What matters is how the story is told, and in what setting the story takes place in.
The Titanic movie is unique in that the love story is a subset of one of the most significant maritime tragedies in human history. The film did an amazing job portraying how that ship sank. Even if one completely ignores Jack & Rose, the rest of the film is spellbinding. The film also demonstrated some degree of how raw human emotion can get in the midst of tragedy & impending doom. So many emotional scenes, such as
- The mother who lay in her room with her kids comforting them as the water flowed into their room to drown them
- The band who kept playing while people all around them were in chaos
- The captain who became mute and died by the ship's 'wheel'
- The ship's officer who mistakenly shot Jack's friend & then killed himself
- The ship's officer who rejected Rose's fiancé’s money while saying "your money cant save you now"
- The smart rich lady who admonished the people on her boat who refused to turn back to help survivors
- The fear & desperation on people's face as they desperately held on while the ship turned on it's horizontal axis and then broke
- The perseverance of Rose to survive, as she struggled through the cold water to get that whistle.
- The anger in Rose's fiancée when he realized He had lost emotional control over Rose as he saw that Rose was willing to ignore her safety just to be with Jack.
- The ending scene where elderly Rose revealed she had that necklace jewellery all this time and then threw it in the ocean. (that part vexed me sha. She should have donated it to a museum if she didn't want to give it to the crew of that modern ship)

Also the sheer grandeur of the ship was brilliant. The movie did a very good job in portraying the sheer size of Titanic and how people lived in those days, especially the 'class' segregation.

In no way can Titanic be called overrated. No, ma’am!!!

Avatar
From what I’ve heard, the basic story of Avatar has been retold too many times and is quite racist.
White people go to a foreign land; invade it for resources; the locals/natives (who are initially welcoming) start to resist & want the white people out; one of the white people becomes enchanted with the natives & their way of life and also becomes resentful to his own white people; a violent climax reaches as the locals fight the whites, as the white traitor helps the locals/natives to defeat the white people; the white traitor then becomes revered by the locals and is fully accepted into their society.
This story is typical and is now very predictable. But like in Titanic, what matters is HOW the story is told and what SETTING it takes place in.

I love science-fiction, and I’m very partial to it. Avatar is an amazing scifi movie
What struck me from Avatar is the brilliant portrayal of futuristic space travel and alien environment. The amount of detail paid to every aspect of biosphere on Pandora was out-of-this-world. It was so real. For days, I couldn’t stop dreaming about living on Pandora.

Fast & Furious
I’ve only watched the last 3 films in this series, and I can understand why they can be called overrated, so I’m not gonna defend it.

My list of popular overrated films are
- Frozen
- The Notebook
- Slumdog Millionaire
- Most of the James Bond movies
- Every single Middle Earth movie (Lord of the rings and Hobbit films. Meh!!!)
- Every single Twilight film (I’ve not watched any & I never will, but I know they’re trash!)
- Scarface
- Birdman
- No Country for Old Men

Cheers

Your analysis of the "Titanic" is excellent.

kaydee:
@spac
You're worse than the OP. You mentioned classics and gave stupid reasons you hate them. Regardless of how you feel bout those movies, they are not highly rated for nothing. I don't wanna start schooling you now, I'd rather teach a pig how to sing but "sit down" next time.

@joavid
Halle Berry? For real? You don't know sh*t too. The fact that you don't understand how something works does not mean it's wack. Name your fav actors?
Both Halle Berry and Denzel got Oscars for the wrong movies when they had better movies. Jadakiss sums it up in "Why"

- "Why Halle have to let a white man pop her to get a Oscar
Why Denzel have to be crooked before he took it"

You both need to come out with better arguments and speak on facts. Just displaying your human attributes,Hating something you don't understand!

Joavid:


na wa o.

someone cannot have opinion again

kaydee:


You think child molesters don't have opinions? Even Boko members have theirs. Do you understand now? Name your favourite actors and movies?

Joavid:


lol. You think I'm going to dignify you with an answer.

get the fvvck out of my thread if you're so pained and learn some manners while at it cos you have zero.

I can't


My random overrated actors

Vince Vaughn - tries to hard to be funny. ends up looking ridiculous to me.

Robert Pattinson - very Boring actor, I'm sure he would be just as boring in real life. He's like a robot and very immature on screen.
Maybe i would have liked the Twilight films if he and his co-star wasn't in it. and that brings me to the next

Kristen Stewart - She's stone cold, shows no emotions, 100% expressionless and terrible actress.
She's an overrated, mono-tone, lucky actress! but I see her luck is not carrying on...hmmm!

Halle Berry - yes she's hot. pretty lady, beautiful body but a horrible actress. Never understood all the hoopla about her.
and yea, she won an Oscar for her rape scene in Monster's Ball -cos that's the best she could and can do.
She's been terrible ever since. cat lady retartedd cat.

that's all I can remember now

I really hope y'all contribute. don't leave me hanging please

Joavid:
Happy birthday y3mi. best wishes!


Let me use this opportunity to add king Arthur:legend of the sword to the list.
but then, the king Arthur legend story is a folklore.


King skull island was good a bit below my expectations.

Joavid:
I didn't bother with Dream girls, I knew it was bound to be terrible.

c'mon y3mi, Déjà Vu was great! it's about time travel. and Denzel Washington can do no wrong in my eyes.

Anyway, I guess some people don't like time travel movies.

What do you think of the movie Lucy?
