Hi there, I'm pretty new and I decided I would post my opinions on various movies so you could get a taste of what I like/dislike. I chose overrated over bad, because I hate overrated movies more than I hate bad movies

Concerning Overrated: I realize that this may rattle a few cages. But please understand that all flims posted I've actually seen, I'm not some angry angst filled teenager who wants to tick everyone off. I just harbor a few opinions against some movies that I felt have been unrightfully placed at the pedestal of movie glory

10. Anchorma

I think this is the worst comedy movie ever made. The jokes are awful, the setting is awful, and everything about this movie is stupid. I guess this movie prides itself on being stupid and silly, and that it should be taken as such. But I find these jokes not only to be childish, but annoying as well. The one liners that everyone touts from this film are also NOT amusing, they weren't funny when the movie played, and they weren't funny when they repeated them. Boring and stupid movie

9. Spiderman

When judging a sequel, I must look back at the original. The original stayed true to spiderman's roots, a nerdy kid involved in an accident. It had decent action, Mary Jane Parker, a little bit of self righteousness albeit, but it was a good movie. When Spiderman-2 came out the only thing I could think about was how Doc Oc was going to be an effective character and how the storyline between Peter and his friend would continue. Instead I was treated 2 hours of boring "we've already seen it before" hero deciding to be a hero, girl or the hero, big spidey penis or little nerdy penis, and then we were finally treated to Doc Oc and his amazing arms, we were then lead into 15 minutes of action before the bad guy reconciled and the hero got the girl and got to be the hero. It was so cliche and boring I can't understand why so many people liked it. Maybe we need the 50s comics redone, except with more action and more class

8. Eyes Wide Shu

When I first saw this movie, I was too turned on by the nudity and weirdness of it all. Which, I suppose, makes a movie like this famous. However, forgetting that this film was made by Stanley Kubrick, that this movie didn't have Nicole Kidman or Tom Cruise, would it be so famous? What other director besides Kubrick would be tossed on a poster so intentionally that it is almost disgusting how movie big wigs want to sell their product? Maybe Tarantino, but you will all find that out later. Unlike spiderman 2 and Anchorman, this movie was somewhat suspenseful and odd enough to make it interesting, but it was no more an artistic effort than a busty blondes 3/Scooby Doo hybrid. Decent movie, but tremendously overrated

7. Sin Cit

Yea, I went there. If you ever need a lesson in false advertising, Sin City is the best example in the history of history. It was difficult to tell which part of the movie looked so damn good, was it the incredibly long list of well known half rate and has been actors in a variety of roles? Was it the amazing visual style? Or was it the promised graphic novel ultimate action flick? Well, 1 out of 3 aint bad. So first, the good: The visual style was awesome, done very nicely, much props to the movie for that. Before I continue on the bad, remember that because I hate the movie, I also hate the graphic novel, I realize this was the most faithful interpretation of a comic book movie ever done, and for that I respect it. But the same things I hate about the movie I hate about the graphic novel, so don't trap me into that argument

Firstly, the promised action flick never came through, I realize that this was supposed to be noir, but the previews, the gun toting villains, and the action list of actors all promised me something that never happened. I can respect noir, but only if it says noir, and not come see our comic book action movie like it was represented in the preview

Secondly, I understand that it's not cool to hate on violence or sex these days. But honestly, this movie was utterly disgusting, and it managed to viciously ravage the catholic church, have a world in which vengeful and selfish lunatics were the only good guys, and have scenes of intense violence such as ripping off testicles and eating human bodies. This may be cool to some people, and I may be a prude, but I certainly understand violence, and if acts of extreme violence that occured in history are portrayed, then I have no ground to stand on. But these acts of violence are so pervasive and fictitious, it just becomes an exercise in desensitization

On a side note, I think something that is not left up to opinion is Jessica Alba's snottyness. Her personal beliefs prevented her from being naked in a movie, yet she could play an exotic dancer in a movie where every other woman is naked, every man is an evil pedophile or veangance head, and she could be in a movie making this glamorous, yet she, somehow, because of her divine morality, could not be topless. That is just a brat acting like a brat

Continuing on this overrated movie........ Partly due to false advertising, this movie had a bevvy of actors that were going to be involved in a complex crime caper. Instead I was treated to politically correct straight forward stories of people killing each other, there was no complexity, merely the bad guy and the good guy, the good guy being bad, and the bad guy coming from the pit of hell. So, with a straight forward story and awful dialogue comes great action? Nope. Just people killing each other and revenge

I do not get off on revenge, so that left me at a fault right there

In conclusion, this movie may be the most overrated movie of all time, wait, it's just the 7th, I've got 6 more to go. And they are coming ASAP along with my top ten

I hope I've boiled some blood, but not to the point of anger. This is just my opinion, and even though I think Eyes Wide Shut and Sin City are overrated, I still believe they maintain some good qualities. Just not enough to make them good and certainly not enough to make them classic.
