uj_sizzle:

Daniel Craig aint got the finnesse of Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore

That's the point those of you who make this assertion all miss. The Bond movies starring Daniel Craig have actually taken us to the very beginning when James Bond was a crude and ruthless rookie agent. Casino Royale for instance is actually the first James Bond story. Quantum of Solace also digs into the past of Bond. We are seeing James Bond before he became smooth and full of finesse.

We're talking movies here and you're talking nonsense(books)

Hi, I know it is movie time, but honestly some movie adaptations of books remove the essence of the books, spoiling the whole thing...e.g read twilight series, your mind will be blown off, amazing read....watch it, you will feel like blowing your head and that of the movie makers off. I swear...
Ok, do not bother reading 50 shades...over rated crappy write up...an insult to BSM...the movie will not work cos it will be real bad porn, like porn that is unbelievable...Jeez, too long, forgive me

Obi1kenobi: 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.
not just you... though i may be worse. I've never been able to go past the first 30 mins of the Godfather...

What?! Safe and Safe House?? Wow! You either don't dig action flicks or maybe you saw the pirated versions. Safe House is a cool movie in my opinion. Denzel and Ryan Reynolds did a great job but Safe wasn't all that! By the way, both movies definitely weren't over-hyped.

Thank you Shutter Island; should have given the money to the poor

Josh090: I have to disagree with peeps saying "avenger" and "taken" were bad movies, I really enjoyed those movies. Adjustment bureau was total crap though, for me the expendables is the biggest over hyped flopped movie

haba, expendables was kinda meant for the fans of those old school guys...i enjoyed it, not as much as the dark knight, but thats what i expected to see, you definitely dont expect stallone to have shagged that babe, guess that must have let you down

Finally!!!!! someone who gets it! you've made Ian Fleming proud. some peeps don't realize that it was based on the books. I'm glad someone sees the merit and essence behind casino royale.

Godfather?? one of the best movie ever made.

Am really wondering what kind of people would not enjoy the latest bat-man, another classic movie, were you guys just expecting action scenes? A beautiful philosophical movie. Cause and effect theories coupled with an enigmatic performance from Bane.

The batman trilogy is a classic!!


Adjustment bureau's director needs to be sued! I mean wtf.... After watching that movie, i was just angry for the next 10 hrs, just angry.

Bro, perhaps you need to watch the Avatar again. Maybe due to the fact that you could not keep awake you missed the substance and intricate messages contained within the movie.

Messages such as;
Gender equality, Spirituality, Colonianism, Racism, ableism,chauvinism -both types and so on

That movie is entrenched in substance!

I don't know why I'm being crucified for this? Wetin be my offence for saying they are overrated? I have watched them and I actually enjoyed them but I still think something is missing in those movies. Come to think of it, the storyline of these movies are average at their very best, they were only made to look 'wow' because of the effects. They are not really mind engaging (can't say same about Harry Potter but I don't like magic realism). I believe there are better movies out there that deserve better accolades than those movies.

The fact that they made so much in revenue at the box office with lot less to offer make them overhyped.
Re: Waaaaaay Over Hyped Movies by Tolaaaaannni(f): 12:02am On Oct 03, 2012
Im going to rank this.

1. Twilight (So overhyped and filled with terrible acting.)

2. Ra. one (Such a stupid movie, I will never get that 3 hours of my life back cry. Very dissapointed by shahrukh khan. )

3. Agent Vinod (The ending was so ridiculous, and confusing)

4. Pirates of the carribbean.

5. Alice In the Wonderland (The remake one with johnny depp)

6. Hangover 2.
