Big yikes on the 2001 hate in here.
Asking the Paddock as a whole about movies is like asking GYERO about music.

Like most movies, especially kids movies, watching them when you're older for the first time probably won't work.
I didn't get Baby Driver. Not sure what the buzz was about.
I won't go as far as saying John Wick is overrated.. but I left all 3 slightly disappointed. Good, Solid movies. Great and tactical gun play, but it kinda gets old. Plot got wonky, not the greatest bad guys.
I may be in the minority but I found the Matrix movies to be overrated. I watch a movie to be entertained and if I have to spend the whole movie trying to figure out what the heck is going on it is not entertaining to me.
Citizen Kane was considered great because of Orsen Welles' genius new filming techniques. The story was just average at best.I've watched Citizen Kane many times. A decent flick but the greatest movie ever made? I just don't see it. Film noir? OK.
Imagine for a moment the movies these people actually like. 🤣So...ET, Ferris Bueller’s, and Gladiator all suck now?
GTFO. You people are un-American.
Out of Africa gets my vote for most overrated movie of all time... that movie sucked more than Kamala Harris.Out of Africa and The English Patient. Two Oscar winning snoozefests.
Prometheus was laughably bad. And I love Alien and Aliens.Prometheus. And the Prometheus "the movie is too deep for you" fanboys are insufferable.
Not bad but I would have never believed that Sloth would one day become the newest US Senator from Pennsylvania.Just curious on your guys opinion of Goonies. Just to see if its timing or taste.

I told my dad about River Phoniec over the holidays and he likes Joaquin. After I showed him a couple of River's older films he really loves Joaquin now.I like Goonies but as an adult Corey Feldman and Sean Astin are really annoying. Gremlins is one I really like. Feldman is much better in that and Stand By Me.
I enjoyed Goonies when I was younger and still like it as an adult. I think the nostalgia in movies you enjoyed as a kid keeps it entertaining when you're older. I wouldn't mind seeing a new Goonies with everyone grown up in it. Maybe have Astin's character find a new map and he wants to get the gang back together for one last treasure hunt. Could include the characters' kids and make it a big Disney movie to introduce to today's kids. Make it like National Treasure meets Grown Ups.Just curious on your guys opinion of Goonies. Just to see if its timing or taste.

I know several teens that really liked it, and that’s really the target audience. It’s hard to get me, a middle aged nearly empty nester to go to a theatre when I would rather see it on Netflix or just read the book. If you can make a visually appealing movie with a decent message, more power to you. I fell asleep watching it on tv but my kids loved it in a theatre.Picking newer films as overrated is tricky. While I think Memento is just fine, no one ever talks about it except if you occasionally listen to a nerdy film podcast and they happen to bring it up for five minutes and then move on. So is Memento or Inception actually overrated when no one talks about them?
One I will mention is Avatar. The 3D looked great, but it's a very simplistic story, far too long, and the characters in Pandora really don't look that impressive to me from a creative standpoint. The creatures in Aliens are far more impressive. The world of Avatar looks like a 3D screensaver from the mid-2000s but both films grossed billions which means we're probably getting Avatar movies until 2045. I just don't get the series and Cameron's idea of wanting several of these made for the rest of his life.
Gladiator was flawed but the arena scenes are great as is Phoenix.
