5 Overrated Movies 

THE INTRO AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS VIDEO ARE ALL MOVIES THAT ARE NOT APART OF THIS LIST. Sorry if that caused any confusion for anybody. I love all those movies lol. Also, just a friendly reminder to keep the comments respectful please. It's okay if we disagree, I encourage people to share their differing opinions in the comments, but the second insults start being thrown around that's when you'll see those comments be deleted.

The thing you didn't mention about Spy Who Loved Me: Carly Simon killing it with "Nobody Does It Better"! One of the best Bond themes!

Honestly, I kind of hate the "TikTok generation" comment about EEAAO, mostly because I think the lineage of its style is more deeply rooted in the kind of surreal offbeat antihumor of Tim and Eric and Adult Swim (I learnt recently the Daniels were responsible for the Broomshakalaka informercial). Maybe you can draw a lineage between the two, I just think its a bit of a null point especially given how overwhelmingly positive the critical reception was, its clearly got a universal appeal. If anything I think it subverts recent excessive blockbusters (marvel/star wars films specifically) quite nicely by doubling down on its concept and by being self-aware at the same time. On another note, I also think you're completely misrepresenting the pace of the film, especially given there are a multitude of scenes where the film slows down completely, most of which are the best in the film. A great deal of the action scenes are lengthy and well-choreographed, lots of single take scenes as well. Its not just rushing around without purpose, there's a great deal of intent. I wouldn't call it an art film either, its concepts and themes are pretty universal to science fiction as a whole. Its an indie blockbuster in essence, and I don't think its trying for the typical A24 fare. It sits alongside films like House and Ichi The Killer and The Matrix, also The Happiness of the Katakuris. Also I think the family drama is way more central of a theme than the optimism and nihilism, by the end of the film those grand themes of existentialism have basically completely dissolved away. I haven't really formed solid thoughts about this I need to rewatch it. Would love to hear your thoughts, good video all together. Agree on RotJ. Sorry if this is a little incomprehensible.

this is such an awful take, EEAAO is a great movie. Even if you don’t necessarily like it, it’s still a very well written and interesting concept for a movie which was executed perfectly

Forest Gump is a better Elvis movie.

I will say this about EEAAO, I really liked it but I fully understand that absurdism is not for everybody. The movie is completely absurd from beginning to end and just never lets go of that concept. I understand why they did it. I can even respect why they did it. But I fully understand why a lot of people were turned off from this movie. It worked for me, but I am an individual living my own life over here and in no way trying to attribute my experience to anyone else's.

Those are really interesting takes in all the movies, However thinking that Crash also got nominated and ended up winning best picture feels crazier than Elvis

One of the biggest missed opportunities in ROTJ was Pietts arc. They build him up as an imperial side character who survived the last movie just to die. They even had a cut scene where he and the guy in charge of the death star refused/hesitated to fire on the moon because there were imperial troops on the planet despite his orders from palpatine. That alone adds a ton of interesting depth, but no, the Imperials are neither interesting character wise or competent villains in the movie, which is such a terrible middle ground that Disney star wars hasn’t been able to get out of either, besides Rogue One and Andor. I completely agree with you on the Ewoks too. George Lucas’ understanding of the guerrilla warfare/ the Vietnam war and the analogy he makes is completely juvenile. The ewoks would not have succeeded literally chucking spears and rocks at imperials, and the concept both completely defangs the villains of the series and completely fails as an analogy or metaphor to reality.

First time viewer and ngl, the intro montage with loved films in a video with this title made me want to watch the video even more. Was curious to see what were your arguments. Even though they were not on the list, I liked your content, subscribed!

Spot on regarding Return of Jedi. Empire was quite good. I am not a huge SW fan, but they are fun. Actually if you remember the movie Clerks, there is a funny debate about Empire v Jedi

I agree. I especially agree that Elvis and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once were a couple of turd sandwiches. I was especially bummed out at how terrible Everything was, because I just love Michelle Yeoh. Sadly the movie was so crappy, not even she could save it. If you want to watch her kick ass, watch some of her old kung-fu movies. She's great!

Completely agree regarding The Spy Who Loved Me. No chemistry whatsoever between Roger Moore and Barbara Bach. Great submarine, though. They must have known Bond would fall into the sea sooner or later.

I clicked as soon as I saw "overrated" and EEAAO

1917 Independence Day Manhunter The Whale Soul Also I am so 100 percent with you on Baz Luhrmann. Moulin Rouge was an actual assault on my spirit 💀

First person i've ever found to actually agree with me on EEAAO, wasn't bad by any means but I'll never think about it or watch it ever again tbh. It just missed with me unfortunately.

The most underrated part of Return of the Jedi is the score. John Williams went so hard here. While I don't understand the opinion that it's the best SW movie, it legitimately might have the best score.

Tell me how you really feel about Elvis 😂. But actually a great video, keep It up!

I actually liked Romeo + Juliet but agreed couldn't sit through Great Gatsby nor Elvis. I've tried about 3 times on the Elvis movie and every time I end up looking up something else to watch before the 1st hour ends lol now I know why

The original trilogy, episodes 4, 5, and six, are a very good, to perfect set. Closing out with Jedi is maybe not perfection. And I bet most of us don't appreciate any place where Lucas decided to go back in and try to edit the story into something else that still wasn't the right answer. But taking the trilogy as a whole, four five and six are very well balanced movies. I think A New Hope might have been the best one, because it did all this fantastic setting up. So much great setting up, that it allowed for writing of other stories, not even from these original three. That's all based on A New Hope. All Star Wars started at episode 4.

Agree with everything you say. Especially the Baz Luhrmann part. I felt it but couldn't quite explain it, but you said it right. Curious about your 5 underrated films

Great video. Love a great contrarian opinion. Especially agree with your opinion of EEAAO.

Live and Let Die was a far better Bond movie

Really liked your list again... Love Jedi but part of it just screams " merchandising - money, money,money how many Ewok ( a muppet in a Star Wars movie??) toys can we sell?", Also overrated is Malignant ( so some "growth" is a killer??? ) and oh shut up about it already Armegeddon,(like who cares about Willis playing the same character AGAIN AND AGAIN, and Ben and Liv's insipid romance?)

I appreciate and agree with nearly all your points made. I saw Star Wars in 1977 when I was ten and believe me, I was very excited to see Jedi wrap things up. I came out of the theatre feeling very lukewarm about it all. I personally think all the main characters minus Ian McDiarmid phoned it in. The visuals were great but, like EEAaO, that doesn't carry a good story. I don't watch the original trilogy much but when I do, Jedi is the biggest letdown of the three. And don't get me started on the Special Edition tweaks Lucas made. They're atrocious. You earned my sub today. : )

Still trying to figure out whether or not he likes Elvis. Wasn't clear.

You are so spot on! I saw Raid 2 first and loved it so much I could not wait to see the first one! I did and the let down was a rapid round house kick to the face 😮

I think you mean Moonrake you over the coals.

My picks for overrated movies: Halloween (1978) Star Wars The Matrix Midsommar Joker American Psycho The Dark Knight The Conjuring MCU The only ones I dislike are Midsommar and The Conjuring, Midsommar was bloated, agonizingly slow and pretentious, Conjuring was a fairy tale trying to pass off as reality and is a story that's been told many times before.

Way too much way too often never ending

Kurt Russell did a made for TV Elvis movie which was better than this dreck I am sure

The most overrated movie for me is " Banshee of Inshireen" and " Tàr"

I was entertained by Elvis, nothing more nothing less,. Probably because of the actors performance playing him. Agree on Tom Hanks. The same goes for Everything Everywhere All At Once, although the entertainment factor was higher. I think the best Baz Luhrmann film was his first, Strictly Ballroom. A couple I think are overrated are The Shawshank Redemption and Parasite (2019).

Ohhhh man, first time channel viewer here and your intro about gave me a heart attack. The discontinuity between upload subject and your standardized montage is probably obvious most of the time, but in this context it looked for the briefest of moments like you were about to make a stunningly villainous list of hot takes. Yes, every movie can be criticized... except Aliens. As for what you actually listed, RotJ is the only one I've actually seen which somehow makes me feel both unlearnt and astutely discerning at the same time. It was my favorite as a kid as well, which in hindsight was clearly from the "pew pew" factor; it's certainly not bad, but I can appreciate the innovations of episodes IV and V more as an adult. I think it's fair to say that history would have dwelled a bit more on the merits of Ewoks and chicken walkers had the prequel and sequel trilogies not turned out to be such crack babies.

Regarding Star Wars, I’ll watch episode 4 or 5 every once in a while to scratch my Star Wars itch; I only ever watch Return if I feel like ending the story.

Don’t like Baz lurman. But Alex garland is even worse.

I don't understand the comparing you did with Raid and martial arts movies. That's not the point. That's not the point to compare with Hollywood masterpiece die hard. The thing it, you should compare this movie with the unfinished Bruce Lee's movie Game of Death. A guy navigating a building full of goons. This is the movie everybody was expecting to be made since the Game of Death. Just after The raid we got Judge Dredd that took this to the scifi setting. There is this specific claustrophobic intense action rhythm in the raid. As not having character arc, who cares. I don't care about movies being in the script manual, in fact I love when they aren't and are still great. As for anything else, I totally agree. By the way, Elvis, SW6 and that james bond movie, there are a lot of people that don't like them.

You must be from a different generation because I don’t remember anyone eating Jedi that highly. It’s always been considered the worst of the Star Wars Trilogy.

Sorry, I'm one of those people who hype up The Raid. Hard Boiled is still an untouchable masterpiece, right?

I think Baz Luhrmann's style can be a lot, but I do have to say I think it works in Moulin Rouge. If you haven't seen it maybe check it out because all the negatives you were saying about him have an interesting fit for Moulin Rouge. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about that. I totally agree with you about Everything Everywhere. It's fine but nowhere near as good as people make it out to be. I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars by any means, but I do find A New Hope to be very overrated. I don't want to take away from the achievement that is was, and still is, but I find it to be a boring, poorly acted movie. I also want to add that I feel the way you feel about the Raid (which I haven't seen) about Mad Max Fury Road. Just wanted to throw that out there.

None of my friends agree but I also find return of the jedi very boring

Return of the Jedi lover here: You make valid points. I don’t necessarily agree with your ideas for changes, but I understand your frustration with certain things about the movie

❤I hate scarface❤ SO F-ING MUCH

The award shows are more about politics and less about merit

I completely agree with your take on EEAAO. I was really surprised at the way everyone acted like it was the best movie ever made.

I agree with you 100% on EEAAO. Its a mess, juvenile and overly long. I liked the rock scene though

I'm sorry but I still believe EEAAO is still top 5 cinema ever. I can understand the break neck speed thing but I'd rather have that 10 times out of 10 rather than sit through Stanley Kubricks slog of shit that is 2001. It gives so much more in the way of drama, comedy and action than most movies. The absurdity is also up my alley.

Everything everywhere all at once was ok, but it was so childish at some points, I couldn't agree more with you on that. I like that the movie tried to have fun and be funny and deep at the same time, but the stupid shit like the sausage fingers and rocks talking was plain stupid.

A fan of Michelle Yeoh but not the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once

No hating here. I appreciate your opinion- but I do adore Everything Everywhere All At Once ❤

67 to 62 like to dislike ratio 💀

I disagree with your take on ‘Everything, Everywhere All at Once’.

I hated EEAAO and found that this is not an uncommon opinion. Your commentary on all these movies is right on the money.

The core to a film is a good story. EEAAO fundamentally fails as a story, and therefore fails as a film.

If you think EEAAO is overrated, then you probably love Joker.

Finally someone is calling out Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. It's a bad movie in many, many ways but my biggest problem with it is the lead actor Michelle Yeoh. She's constantly playing to the camera and has that awful smirk on her face all the time. It keeps taking me out of the movie. I noticed this all the way back on Tomorrow Never Dies. They keep hiring her and I keep hoping that she will mature as an actor but no, not at all. There are two Star Wars movies; Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. That's it. Everything else should have been direct to video. And oh, George Lucas SUCKS as a director. Deal with it.
