The Lord of the Rings wins the contest, hands down. A horrible adaptation from marvellous book series.

-Star Trek 2009

-Star Trek Into the darkness

A good Star Trek movie (Or a good sci-fi movie for that matter.) should be intelligent, which the J.J. Abrams Star Trek is not.

-Avatar

Princess Mononoke explored the same themes before with way more intelligence and depth. And the jungle look like too much like a ordinary jungle, and again it's outdone by a Miyazaki movie, Nausicaa, in which there is a ecosystem that look really alien.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Not even Arthur C. Clarke had any idea what that mess was about.

Braveheart
There's nothing more boring than an angelically perfect hero.

That film was about as entertaining as a dull migraine. It was like watching a parrot take a dump, what's there's pretty but it all ends up as crud and nothing less.

Pixar movies - particularly Up which I find to be ridiculously overrated if not THE most overrated animated film ever made. I don't think it's a bad film but I prefer Toy Story 3 and Finding Nemo over it.

As for Harry Potter, the books are probably one of the greatest achievements in storytelling ever. The movies, however, kept degrading with each one. Why on earth did they keep allowing David Yates and Steve Kloves to work on these films? They kept dumbing them down with painful results. Instead of treating their audiences like adults, they treated them like giggling teenagers! :wall:

The Muppets - the 2011 film. The title should be considered false advertising as the film used them more as a plot device than the actual heart of the movie.

Rio - Uh...I did not expect this movie to be a musical at all so you could imagine how shocked I was when I was watching it.

Thank you for saying all that because I thought exactly the same thing.

I too absolutely hated what David Yates did with Harry Potter, though to be honest, it felt like J.K. Rowling was writing more for the screen with her later novels anyway. Exposition seemed to frequent less and less in Deathly Hallows (the book).

And Rio suffered from terrible marketing - it was never made clear what the film was supposed to be about. I don't know if they'll reverse this policy with the sequel, especially since Brazil has taken a very active interest what with it hosting the next World Cup and all.

Definitely Titanic.

Boring, long, cliche and too romantic.

Overrated s**t.

Overrated sh**.

Not only over-rated, but inaccurate as to almost every detail. (Except the name of the ship and the fact that it did sink.)

Why is the premise dumb? The virus itself was pretty plausible. There are many viruses which cause similar symptoms.

Ferris Bueller's Day off: the story of some spoiled kid skipping school "just cause" and getting his friend into serious off-screen trouble. I really hate the way he tricks his parents with the expensive looking sound system that the they obviously bought for him because they're nice, and even though Roony is a bit obsessive, it's his job to keep kids from doing what Ferris is doing!

Also overrated, The Lord of the Rings Trillogy(I liked the Hobbit movie though).

I don't like How to Train Your Dragon, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (although the book was good), Harry Potter, or The Hunger Games at all. The only two Pixar films I find overrated, but still decent, are Finding Nemo (Dory is a little annoying and I generally don't like the ocean, except when it's anthropomorphized like SpongeBob or The Little Mermaid, but at least it had a few good things, mostly with the birds) and my least favorite Pixar film for its snail-like pace, Ratatouille. Yes, I think Cars 2 is better than Ratatouille. Actually, come to think of it, Toy Story 3 is good, but nowhere near as good as the first two. On the topic of underrated films, I love Shrek the Third and the live-action Inspector Gadget movies. I really can't see why no one thinks Shrek the Third is a good movie. Shrek Forever After is pretty bad, but Shrek the Third was a perfect way to end the series.

Any classic "teen movie" from the 1980s.
