Avatar- I guess box-office hardly reflects quality nowadays.

The Avengers- Is that Thor 2 or what? It wud hav made more sense if they had more SuperHeroes.

Avatar:Legend of Aang(The Movie) - was that a movie?? Nickelodeon wasted resources on dat movie.

Angels and Demons

Madagascar 1-2.

ngorluv: PROMETHEUS,AMAZING SPIDERMAN and RESIDENT EVIL RETRIBUTION....the resident evil didn't make sense at all compared to the other sequels of it...just as if they want to make a reunion of all the past cast members.

Actually the problem is that most of these movies are scripted to entertain using facial expressions and twisting the English language. Naija tends to poorly warm up to any movie that grin angry involves more talk n less action. BTW some movies are based in abstract thoughts ie Tron Legacy. Such movies are not shoot for the story line but to tickle the imagination of the audience. Movies like battleship and Adjustment Bureau come to mind. Damn most people don't even understand the English how can they understand the story behind em.

intbizoil: I read all your comments but I can't help but laugh. I can tell you that once u understand the concept or message this movies are trying to propagate you will definetly conclude that this movies are a masterpiece. A movie like black swan talks about the concept of mind control and alter egos. Transformer talks about transhumanism. Hunger games talks about elite and its control of the world's masses. Infact I can go and on. Movies in america are no longer made for entertainment purposes again but used as a weapon to indoctrinate you on the agendas of the elite vis a vis new world order

God bless your IQ. Period wink

Very true..i grew up watching foreign movies so i doubt there's an accent i dnt understand. Lets just say those movies didn't tickle my imagination enough.

It seems peeps are mixing up not getting a movie and a productn being terrible.
The worst movie I've seen all yr is "Repo Men" by Jude Law n Forest Whitaker. It was utter balderdash! Expendables 1 was forgetful n I dnt thnk 2 wld be less!
I wasn't a Twilight fan until yrs later when I got to watch all 3 movies again nay any noise, I was hooked! Lemme say it was just very honest and relatable to, particularly pt 1.
Re: Waaaaaay Over Hyped Movies by Nobody: 4:07pm On Oct 02, 2012
People are confusing the whole Idea. Thread is about Movies that are overhyped not movies that angered you or ones your probably dumb head didn't understand. Had to stop reading when someone mentioned Lord of the Rings. Clowns.

Harry Potter won't make any sense to you if u start watching mid way and u dnt listen carefully to what's bn said. Twas a very good movie in my opinion...right action,suspense,fair share of romance with a good dose of humour. 5 star for that one. If it gets too confusing for u use d subtitling or just go read the books.

Re: Waaaaaay Over Hyped Movies by Obi1kenobi(m): 5:42pm On Oct 02, 2012
semid4lyfe: Too many to mention but off the top of my head, I'll say

1. The Iron Lady (2011)
2. The Hunger Games (2012)
3. Drive (2011)
4. Black Swan (2010)
5. Wanted (2008). . .with Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and James McVoy
6. Wanted (2009). . .Bollywood movie starring Salman Khan
7. The Bodyguard (2011). . .Bollywood movie starring Salman Khan
8. Ra.One (2011). . .very effed up movie. SRK fall my hand big time for this movie

In short, I don't put much stock on IMDB ratings of movie anymore cos I've been disappointed too many times.Nowadays I prefer reading the viewers opinions/comments on the movie download sites I download my movies from.

You've not been reading the right review sites. "Rotten Tomatoes" and "Metacritic" are the best review sites on the net from credible reviewers. IMDB just shows a popularity contest rather than substantive reviewing.
Re: Waaaaaay Over Hyped Movies by Obi1kenobi(m): 5:52pm On Oct 02, 2012
As for me, Avatar is the most overrated movie of all time. I can finish a 24 episode series in a day and half but in 3 times of trying, I could barely keep awake watching Avatar.

A lot of modern action blockbusters like Transformers, Avatar, Hunger games etc feel like kiddies movies that try to cover up the lack of substance in the plot with high octane, intricately choreographed, CGI action sequences. I prefer lower profile, slower-paced releases with more substance like "the Reader", "No country for old men", "the Prestige". But that's just me, anyway.

uj_sizzle: Ever seen a movie advert and u're like 'omg i have to see this' or pple around you keep goin 'that movie too make sense' only for you to see it and realise u just wasted about 2hrs of your precious time watching bullshit? Here's some of the movies i've watched and feel they weren't worth the trouble.
1. Hunger games(totally boring)
2. Bourne Legacy(wtf was that about?!)
3. Total Recall(Kate Beckinsale was badass buh i dnt think Colin Farel was such a good choice)
4. Underworld 4(not as good as d previous).
This is but to mention a few. What ae urs??

I'm afraid I disagree with you on TOTAL RECALL. Now that was a very good action movie, and Collin zfarell played the role of the protagonist very well. But I do agree with you on one thing. Kate Beckinsale was one VERY VERY badass chic smiley .
