A Clockwork Orange, other than its social commentary I found it terribly boring.

I enjoyed the Alex character he was played by a great actor the rest of them just fell flat for me.

Another film i should enjoy but don't is
The Congress.

I don't think I have ever seen clockwork orange

I would say most Marvel films or fifth element.

Although I might watch it again to see if I still have the same view.

Dune
Moves so slowly I always get sand in my eyes from falling asleep.

The Godfather
Who thought it was a good idea for Brando to have a mouthful of root canal cotton in his mouth the entire movie? I can't take anything he says as that character seriously let alone understand him.

ANY and all "Disney" movies cause I can't get behind the root of all evil

I love a clockwork orange but I did see it when it came out 😬🤣🤣 I also love Dune and the new ones are great too. The most overrated film ever has to be. It's a Wonderful life. Total dross but then again it's made for squares 😶 A matter of life and death. Starring David Niven is a much superior film and Has a far better and far reaching message. 🎃

Interesting to see some concurrence on A Clockwork Orange. I think Stanley Kubrick was an incredibly overrated director. The only Kubrick movie I actually like is The Shining, and perhaps that’s because the real genius behind that one is Stephen King (despite the marked differences between the book and the film). But the rest of Kubrick’s filmography I’ve seen, Dr. Strangelove, 2001, Full Metal Jacket, A Clockwork Orange - all are incredibly overrated in my opinion and most of them are pretty boring too.

The other one I’ve ranted about here recently is Apocalypse Now. Bloated, boring, incoherent, obviously ahistorical on many levels. I did not enjoy any aspect of the film.

Reservoir dogs. I mean it was ok, but I wouldn't want to watch it again. Maybe it's a victim of nostalgia, but today it's kind of average.

Kubrick 2001 was overrated

💖 Neon™ Waifu 💖

Jan 25, 2025 00:25

Alright I'll throw this out there and face the backlash... The original Stars Wars trilogy is over rated. Everything by Quentin Tarantino. Now don't get me wrong, I do not dislike those films but they are not as flawless as people claim either. I think it's ok to like something while acknowledging it's not the be all end all of films

I liked the new Dune films, the OG was too 80s for me lol

I feel like I enjoy Star Trek more than Star Wars, but not the movies. Shatner's hair plug perm and gut were too prevelant by the time they made one.

Graphically, the newer Star Trek movies were ok. Something about the quirky sets, the timing of the release of the tv show, and possibly the corny original cast made it, "better" though?

Psychopatrish

Jan 25, 2025 01:01

I also prefer the Adam West Batman to the movies. Keaton barely gets a pass.

It was cool seeing all the fun Jokers they cast for films, but the show was more like a comic.

Psychopatrish

Jan 25, 2025 01:03

Oh dude......wait.

Anything with Adam Sandler doing that stupid baby voice as a character outside of SNL should be burnt frame by frame.

Spielberg movies. I could probably watch the original jaws, indiana Jones trilogy, and jurassic park any time, but the other stuff I probably wouldn't want to watch twice, if at all. It seems like just having his name on something makes the critics go nuts.

The Hobbit book is the only good piece of LOTR material outside of the videogames and that's a hill i'll happily die on while Tolkien spends 90 pages describing each blade of grass on the hill.

I always loved the takedown of the LOTR trilogy Randal gives in Clerks 2. Just shïts on it relentlessly, “three movies of them walking to a fücking volcano!”

That said, I love those movies and they are by no means overrated.

Jaynuary

Jan 25, 2025 16:50

Its good because its entirely accurate, 12 hours of people walking and Sam doesn't even brick in Frodos mouth smh 0/10 no oscars deserved.

I knew Trish would remember the exact scene I was referencing. And Jay. It really is comedy gold. For my money, Clerks 2 > Clerks.

Jan 26, 2025 01:46

For a guy who loves to hate, I'm surprised I don't immediately have an answer for this.

DÜmR

Jan 26, 2025 01:49

Oh, yeah, upon reading the comments, I've never seen Lord rings, and I already know I don't like them, but after seeing Randals rendition of them I'm glad I never bothered to watch them.

I think Rob Zombies movies are overrated, I have a lot of respect for him, but I don't care for his movies.

DÜmR

Jan 26, 2025 01:55

Oh, yeah, the why. Rings, because it's extremely problematic, thank you Randal. And Zombie's because they lack structure, and I'm not invested in the characters. I get that their anti-heros, and I love anti-heros, but not his. I'm sure there's a lot of other "why's" but I don't remember his films enough to think of any more.

Also, f**k pretty much every comic book movie ever. 1. I don't care about comics. 2. Cash grabs.

Minus Keaton Batman Films, those rule.

Rob Zombie's films uses ideas from other movies.

Jan 26, 2025 19:30

What We Do in the Shadows I'm not sure if it's overrated but the tv series is.I laughed at the show maybe only a few times.

Jaynuary

Jan 26, 2025 19:40

I still haven't watched clerks 3, but I'm very excited for the dogma rerelease because it's no longer owned by Mr mcrapey hollywoodpants

Jaynuary

Jan 26, 2025 19:41

Also the TV version of wwdits sucjsm the movie is better, and Wellington paranormal is the spin off TV show we deserved and should be uncancelled

Jaynuary

Jan 26, 2025 19:41

Alsostar wars isn't overrated. I wish it were but it's impossible for anything with a laser sword and darth vader to ve overrated, it's the law.

Also a fourth comment

emperorroberto

Jan 26, 2025 19:51

Clerks 3 was horrible.Kevin Smith's just trying to make money now.I didn't like What We Do in the Shadows the movie either.

DÜmR

Jan 26, 2025 22:51

I thought of one at 3 am last night... I can't think, oh yeah...


Pineapple Express. I think it is the dumbest f**king movie in the world, and I can't believe how well loved it is.

ERB

Jan 27, 2025 03:15

why do i feel i will get jumped for saying my comment . For mme over rated would be the crow and the batman movie with heath ledger. never watched clerks 3 and cant recall pineapple express. Clockwork orange was good for its time not sure it has the same feel compared to then but i think a lot of movies are spoilt on options in general. so think like there will be a Lynch mob but each to their own

emperorroberto

Jan 27, 2025 05:52

I think the Batman movie w Heath Ledger is overrated too.The Crow,no.I like Clockwork Orange until he goes to jail.

emperorroberto

Jan 27, 2025 05:53

Pineapple Express could've been better.

Mjauw

Jan 27, 2025 17:17

The new nosferatu.

Although Skarsgård did an absolutely spectacular job!

I just think the film and story was old news.
Expected something more detailed and ground breaking tbh.

emperorroberto

Jan 27, 2025 23:19

I kind of agree about Nosferatu.Maybe it's actually a good movie but I kept thinking it's just Dracula.

Mjauw

Jan 28, 2025 07:50

It is just dracula!!
I was shocked
From the first frame to the last just different names on the characters but the characters are the same .. odd choice.

Mercurius Mesmerize

Jan 28, 2025 16:43

The original nosferatu movie was based on the original dracula novel... but they did it without asking.

emperorroberto

Jan 28, 2025 21:05

Well,I heard Nosferatu was just Dracula in German but because I don't read subtitles I really don't know?

DÜmR

Jan 28, 2025 21:24

For the record, the makers of Pineapple Express have done a couple films I like, but mostly, I don't get down with their work. The one I do love is, The Disaster Piece (I think that's the title). It's about the making of the worst movie ever made, The Room.

emperorroberto

Jan 29, 2025 00:23

The Disaster Artist was cool but The Room is overrated.

DÜmR

Jan 29, 2025 00:33

I've never been able to sit through the The Room in one sitting, it's too much. It's so bad 😅😅😅.

Weird nobody has mentioned Avatar... Whats up with that?

Weary whisper

Jan 29, 2025 15:17

Yep Twighlight, all of them.
Just an insult to all previous vampire movies. How did we go from lost boys, to twighlight.

Honestly who makes a vampire sparkly. 😆🙃

Mercurius Mesmerize

Jan 29, 2025 18:25

Avatar was indeed overly reliant on style over substance.

emperorroberto

Jan 29, 2025 20:42

Avatar is.Twilight I guess is but the reason people hate it so much is because they don't realise it is a kid's film.

DÜmR

Jan 29, 2025 21:02

" Idid not hit her, it's bull s**t, I did not hit her, I did not..... Oh hi Mark!"

Best line in the movie. Lolol. I suddenly feel like a rousing game of catch the football.

@Dumr but only if we were suits and play in an alley

Weary whisper

Jan 30, 2025 01:18

@emperor when you say kids, do you mean teens, because a lot of teens were into at the time, & the books, that generation, but a lot of teens were also into previous vampire movies, from previous generations like lost boys, kids/teen stuff, doesn't mean it has to be lame. Lol

@dumr was that really a line in the movie. I watched the first one, that was enough for me. I caught pieces of the others, & I was like. I just cant! Lol my ex's nieces were into it, but they were teens at the time, when I was in my 20's. There obsession with it made me giggle.

"but only if we were suits and play in an alley"

Is there another way?
