On the other hand I do agree with Avatar. Can I just say I like all these films. I find them overrated because, for every example (except maybe Cabin), I can think of a dozen superior similar flicks. For example, Avatar. Compare it to any of Hayao Miyazaki's science fiction epics, and you are left with a lot to be desired. It lacks grace, majesty, beauty and mysticism, which Miyazaki paints effortlessly across broad and inspired (hand animated) landscapes. I find Avatar genuinely feels so forced, and preaches in a way that patronises (whereas Miyazaki lets you think and decide for yourself). It bears a lot of similarity to the exo-themed Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, which along with the epic manga upin which it based, leaves James Camerons calculated, routinely scripted, multi hundred-million dollar romp gathering dust. And in all honesty, the finest Disney animations carry a lot more emotional weight and resonance than Avatar, a simplistic and juvenile film disguised as more adult fare by virtue of the odd naughty word. Inception is a fine film. But if I am honest, the dream sequences don't feel dreamlike. As beautiful as they are, they look far to much like a video game than any dream I have ever had. Shutter Island and The Adjustment Bureau tackled similar themes in a way I enjoyed a whole lot more. As for Casablanca, its ok. Compared to Brief Encounter and The Philadelphia Story, two dramas of that era, I find it immensely flat and to be quite honest, boring. Edited June 14, 2014 by Segue Myles 1

Turbine Freight Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 The latest rehash of Les Miserables was overpraised imo. It wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't the be all & end all of musical film either. 3

Mr. Not Posted June 15, 2014 Author Posted June 15, 2014 AvatarCabin In The Woods I overlooked these two. Definitely these two. Especially Cabin since that movie actually was shit and not original in any significant way.
PolarizeMe Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Any James Cameron or Michael Bay movie is overrated in my honest opinion... As a fan of Alfred Hitchcock, I think Vertigo and (to a lesser extent) Psycho are overrated, they make North by Northwest look underrated (perhaps, it's because it's sandwiched between his two most famous movies). Shadow of a Doubt, is another underrated Hitchcock film as well.
