What is the most overrated movie of all time ...

[GMDGator]

I'm OK. Thanks for the concern.

Also, as much as I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings series, I thought Return of the King was not the best one in the trilogy.

And I'm with T. I saw the Twilight series with my wife. Horrible movies, but I don't think the anyone but 12 year old girls thought those movies were good.

Lucky for us fathers of 12 year old girls we get to "enjoy" all of the twilight and hunger games garbage....

Titanic!!!!!

:winner: other than Kate Winslett being hot, that movie sucked

 

[GatorBart]

Almost forgot, and I risk having all the children of the world come at me with torches and pitchforks.

Frozen

Thankfully my boy does not like Frozen (and he likes a lot of movies); it's too girly for him apparently.

I envy you.

I AM lucky, as I have not even had to watch it.

Says the expert... but when I first attempted to watch Avatar I fell asleep twice during that long a$$ movie.

I watched in on IMAX, with some visual enhancement chemicals.....made it a little more enjoyable visually, but there wasn't much substance to the film itself. There was A LOT there, but not much there.

I meant that she agreed with you. Chump.

You seem very angry lately. Do you need someone to talk to?

Probably been watching TDK

I liked it.

I know many adults who liked it. I have a coworker who hates Disney movies yet enjoyed Frozen.

What do you expect from a guy who likes black bean burgers?

While that was funny, black bean burgers can be very, very good. Try the veggie burger at the top. I like it better than regular burgers at many traditional places.

I miss that place.

I liked it.

I actually watched it with an open mind... and it really didn't make that much of an impression - weak story. And I thought the trailer or whatever that 'short' was where the moose and the snowman were fighting over his nose was the best part.

The movies were visually appealing and it was cool to actually see some of the characters, but they were dragged out far too long, especially The Hobbit. I have all kinds of beefs with the movies, but I've seen them all and own those that have been released. I probably have three or more complete sets of the books, a wall map of Middle Earth, an encyclopedia of Middle Earth and who knows what else. I have a Gandolf figure on my desk at work and probably a few other items throughout the house. Oh, I have a huge poster of Gandolf with Bilbo and Frodo next to him mounted on wood and covered in shellac. The words on the ring of power surround the image. My wife had it made for me probably 25 years ago.

Basically, I'm a nut for the series and have been since I could read. That said, I can completely understand why folks think the movies are overrated. As a fanboy of the series, I bitch about a lot of the changes made for the movies, but there's enough done correctly that keeps me watching.

Bit of a left turn here, but what ever happened to Bilbo and Gandolf's restaraunt in Gainesville? It was a great date place that was kind of set up to look like an underground Hobbit house or something like that. Used to take dates there to drink wine, eat fondue and listen to Vernon Hall on the guitar. Chicks dug it.

As far as overrated movies are concerned, for me it's a tie between Chariots of Fire and The English Patient. They both won tons of Academy Awards and were complete and utter snooze fests.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Bilbo and Gandalf's? No longer cool when it became mainstream?

Someone ask a hipster.

The Matrix and fight club. I've never understood the fascination with either. If I had to pick one it would be the matrix. Reeves is one of the worst actors i've seen.

Matrix is rated that way for the innovations in special effects. The story is decent at best. Fight Club in my opinion is excellent, but if you aren't really paying attention you miss a lot of little things that end up being very important (which I did the first time, and had a lukewarm opinion of the movie).

 

[WobbleGator]

Fight Club in my opinion is excellent

Agreed.
