Blasphemy

The Dark Knight Rises.

Blade runner.
Back to the future. (all three, but especially the later ones.)

Fight Club?! Never - tis a masterclass in machismo and anarchism

Most Overrated movie? Inception by FAR

Inception most overrated by far? I completely disagree. I concede it can be overrated (one can argue 8.8/10 rank 14 is too much), but the most would be Pulp Fiction (8.9/10 ranked 4), and (even though I personally completely disagree) TDK movies for people who dislike Batman/superheroes.
Fact that Inception is out of top 10 cannot make it more overrated than Pulp Fiction. I have seen other movies from top 5 (Shawshank redemption, Godfather I & II, the Good the Bad and the Ugly) and none could have a ratio of "overratedness" higher than Pulp Fiction. Sure if Inception held rank 1 at 9.4/10 or more it would be most overrated, but considering the above, it cannot be.
I consider Pulp Fiction to be inferior in quality to Scarface remake, which I also consider overrated but only slightly, as it only ranks 132 with 8.2/10 rating. Might explain why I consider Pulp Fiction most overrated ever if I consider it much inferior to a 8.2 rated movie while being itself rated 8.9 and ranked 4.

Inception (agreed).
Paranormal Activity (any/all of them)
Harry Potter (any of them, especially the last one. I enjoyed all of them but they were so incredibly trumped up for what they were.)
Twilight (any of them)
The Dark Knight Rises (after careful consideration and a re-watch i've decided it was the worst of the three by miles).
The new bond films (they're good, i'd never say otherwise... but not as good as all the fans make out).
The Keith Lemon movie.. if I have to explain why.. throw yourself off a cliff.
Saw films (again, started alright but after the second I got bored, hugely overrated).
Second two Transformers Films (the first one was good, and they got worse from there, a lot of people think the second is the worst due to the racial nods and immature shots but I think the third is beyond dire and the established canon is often forgotten between films).

I could go on I reckon.. but I'm tired... and I have more to rant about...


Pretty much any film that anyone thinks is better than the original Star Wars. I should kill you for mentioning V for Vendetta. Was a fantastic film that did not receive ENOUGH credit! Admit it pops.. you put that there just to get my attention! Mars Attacks!? How DARE YOU SIR!

Most underrated 'big' film I know of (as there are many many indie flicks that are incredibly underrated) is Wall.E. That film was an actual masterpiece of animation and cinema that would have made Walt beam with pride.

Other underrated films I have enjoyed incredibly is The Valley of Eli, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The Descent (part I), Black Snake Moan, The Fugitive, US Marshals and many more...
