KAZZAM Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Huge MCU fan but the first avengers film wasn't that good tbh. I said it at the time and stand by it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted March 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2022 Again, years since I watched them, but I distinctly remember thinking the Bourne Identity was the best of the franchise (of the original three, anyway). Which I think is slightly against the grain as Paul Greengrass is considered integral to series and he had no involvement with it. So, for the purposes of the thread I’m saying the supremacy and ultimatum films are a bit overrated and aren’t as good as Doug Liman’s effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2022 I'm kind of shocked at the recommendations for The Matrix in the 90's film thread. I mean the first one was pretty good, not spectacular but the sequels got progressively worse. Would definitely be up there as overrated for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is brilliant and should be comedy gold. Feels like they came up with the great idea but had no idea what to do with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 All films based on comic books that supposedly have "grown up" plots. They're never actually that good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Anything that has Simon Pegg in it. Anything. I am not stuttering here. Anything. He is the anti cheese, in that you add him to anything and it becomes awful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Shawshank Redemption is always the one that first comes to mind when I see this question. Not a bad film at all. But that’s about it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're never actually that good. Agreed, on the whole they are Pound Shop films that follow a formula that works in attracting kids over and over like drugs. A seemingly unlimited supply of super heroes and merchandise. Batman / Superman I can cope with but that's about it. It's very clever I will give them that and makes a lot of money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Joker Logan Mad Max Fury Road All a bit overrated IMO. All 3 are solid movies but neither is anything special for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't agree, hot fuzz is excellent If youd just gone with SotD I'd probably agree As a side HF might be the first films I'd seen Coleman and Considine in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly it’s been 15+ years since I watched them, and I know there are good aspects to them. I accept that they are landmark films. But they’re still overrated. And yes I know I am most likely to be banished to Mordor. Or if that’s too lenient, that small heath forum. I watched the (extended) films recently for the first time in about 15 years and, considering how well I know the story, enjoyed them way more than I expected to. I'm always going to be a bit biased as LOTR was the first difficult book I read as a kid, so there's an element of nostalgia. I just think the films are such a masterful adaption of what can be some very convoluted storylines from the books. It may sound a little stupid when talking about 3/4 hour movies, but imo they cut and kept just the right bits. The production of the movies has held up incredibly well outside of a few very minor moments that I find a bit cheesy. Galadriel turning into a negative, a few of the more exaggerated orc voices* etc. *Admittedly, this was probably better for my immersion than hearing a kiwi accent commanding the forces of darkness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like all of Richard Curtis's films. That's a good indication of their quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
