Lucas Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 The lion king........my god.......the lion King. Mick This, times ten.. no twenty. And I like most animated Disney flicks. THANK YOU!!!! finally someone else, lol It's complete crap. Mick Any film that so shamelessly rips off another piece of work deserves no praise Kimba The White Lion was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, so when I first saw The Lion King, I was like WTF Leave it to Disney Kimba the white lion was also based on Hamlet and the tales of Joseph and Moses? Wow. Neither Hamlet, Joseph or Moses were lions, or animals for that matter ... Kimba at least had a thread of creativity in it The Lion King was simply incest Probably something you'd dig based on all that messed up Asian horror you parade around as quality. http://media3.giphy.com/media/aTHtymMJIV1Uk/giphy.gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Anything Johnny Depp is in. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? That didn't get much praise at all. It's one of the very few Depp movies I enjoy. Also, whether you liked the book or not, it was one of the closest book to film adaptations that comes to mind.I also like the following Depp movies: What's Eating Gilbert Grape?Donnie BrascoSleepy HollowChocolatPirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Ed Wood is his best movie. I have seen all those movies but I didn't care for any of them except Pirates of the Caribbean. I think he generally overacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to overacting, I automatically think of Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys. But a peak into that Brad Pitt thread and 12 Monkeys is cited many times as one of his best films.

It just doesn't move me like a candidate for GOAT should Granted, any film with such lofty expectations is going to have a backlash, but I just don't feel that it can fill the jock strap of many other - better - films And what films would be better?

JohnnyBlaze Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hunger Games.I've only seen part 1 but man was that a let down after hearing so much about it. Everything in it seemed cheap, hokey, or stolen. I cared about none of the characters and barely even got through it. I don't even remember how it ended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Tarantino films, as a whole, are grossly overrated because film buffs want us to be amazed at the dialogue and all that artsy bûllshït...whatever.

The last thing I liked of his was Jackie Brown with Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs being the other two that I liked. The Kill Bills were awful and the crappiness has continued since then IMHO. That last one, The Hateful Eight, was a big waste of time. But did people like that? I don't know if they did or not but I couldn't get any pleasure out of it.

invisible airwave Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Almost every movie that wins the Oscar for Best Picture is overrated. No Country For Old Men and Argo are exceptions to me.
