Either that's what you meant or you are making an extremely pointless series of posts here. "This is a very well made movie with great acting and it had some meaning but the meaning meter only went to 3.5 instead of 7.8 like people think so therefore it's overrated."

Deathwing · Sep 15, 2016

Yeah, sure, that sounds about right.

Just not sure what you're saying then. It was about consumerism, masculinity and dissatisfaction with their place in society on top of the cool quotes and twist ending.

Now Sixth Sense would fit what you described. Without the twist at the end, which breaks down if you think about it too hard, it's a pretty boring and forgettable movie.

I'm saying it's an overrated movie. Keep in mind that's a relative thing and in no way disqualifies it from being good. Perhaps the people I've met deify it more than the people you've met. Think The Edge and the Matrix. I've seen the same treatment for Fight Club.

BrutulTM · Sep 16, 2016

Fight Club is a better movie than the Matrix in my book, and I really liked the Matrix.

Well i don't like Fight Club either but it's not a bad movie.

Over: Avatar...except if you drink every time something trite is acted/stated/represented, then it is good fun.

Less known but a sweet favorite of mine...and recommended for those of you with children...The Secret of Roan Inish.

I thought Watchmen was underrated. Most people I talked to thought it was boring, but I'd take that blue dong over any of the superhero movies that have come out over the last few years save a couple.

I thought Silence of the Lambs was overrated. I only saw it recently, and as I don't watch a ton of movies and don't know the context of what it achieved in its time, it's possible I can't appreciate it for what it is.

I think Silence of the Lambs is one of those that having seen everything that came after, I can imagine how the inspiration could seem underwhelming.

Watchmen was the last great Zach Snyder film. He was on a roll, too. Dawn of the Dead, 300, and Watchmen. I thought he just couldn't make a bad movie.

Holy shit was I wrong

The movie should be #1 on imdb at 100%. How is this confusing to you?

To be fair, most major movies have little substance too. Rare is the "thinker" movie. The problem with Fight Club is that kinda plays at making you think it has some meaningful message or commentary when it mostly doesn't. It's mostly unique in style, presentation, soundtrack, and quotability, which by themselves make for a still quite good movie. But an overrated one nonetheless.

Blasphemy. What movie before it told all it's audience they were consumer driven zombies? It might have the most important message in it ever.

watchmen sucked

Xarpolis · Sep 16, 2016

I have it on bluray (one of my first ever bluray purchases), but I never watched the bluray. Only saw it in theaters. I'll have to break it out this weekend.

Watchmen could have been good if it wasn't basically a cinemax after dark porno... The superhero related stuff was fantastic but I really didn't want to watch 45 minutes of porn and 45 minutes of other stuff when I bought my ticket for it.

Confirmed WH "accidentally" went to see the gay porno "Watch Men"

Rape scene was hot so whatever. The women in Watchmen were hot as fuck.

Overrated: Blazing Saddles*
Underrated: Rustlers' Rhapsody

*still very good, just overrated.

I think vin diesel movies might be under. Not on this board, but in general.

My retort. xXx. I know they're now coming out with the 3rd one, but this movie was fully shit.

Finding that trailer on Youtube was a bitch. You know if you put xxx into the search there's actual porn on youtube now? Seriously, what the fuck?
