Films to you that are overrated that everyone else seemed to like.

I'm going to start off with Fight Club. It has been airing on HBO or Cinemax (or one of the movie channels). Haven't seen it since I was around college age. And then I could take it or leave it and never saw it again (until today actually).
Decided to watch it again to see if I was too young to see the genius of it. Well after watching it again I pretty much feel the same way -- could take it or leave it. I mean it wasn't bad. It was entertaining in spots but by the time the credits rolled around I really felt the same way about it that I did the first time.
I just remember when it came out a lot of people I knew could recall like every line from memory and said it was their favorite movie of all-time. And I still hear it occasionally all these years later. And nothing wrong with that of course...this is all subjective and I know for a fact I got some movies that are among my favorites that a lot of people would be like WTF.
But anyways, what's an example of a very popular film that you personally think is overrated?

I didn’t like fight club much either it was alright but I would say any Will Ferrel movie, none of that shit is funny it’s like everyone is doing him a favor because of how many movies he has like “oh yeah Will Ferrell step brothers hahaha”

Napoleon dynamite
Hate it
Talladega nights hated it
Step brothers hated it
Love Brad Pitt's character in Snatch better than fight club...
But love Edward norton and Brad in fight club
Once upon a time in Hollywood is cool too

Wasn’t slutty enough.
Also it was basically plato’s allegory of the cave but with a sci-fi movie magic retelling.

The first time I saw The Matrix I was on a stout dose of L and I remember being blown away

But then years later I tried watching it again and I remember not even making it through the movie and thinking the it didn't hold up well at all
That's how I felt when I watched it the 2nd time anyway

Here's another one for me -- The Exorcist.
It is always at or near the top of the debate for scariest film of all-time, and when I did watch it -- by myself and at night, it didn't do much for me at all.

Go watch: “Baskin”
It would traumatize the possessed girl from the exorcist.

Interstellar didn't really do it for me.
I also love the first Jurrasic Park. Jurrasic World was comparably terrible.

Haha , not exactly 🤔.
It’s about some cops who get called to check out some abandoned area where a murder or something heinous happens. Think it’s in Argentina or Spain or some Spanish speaking country, but I speak Spanish and had English subs. Atleast i think it was in span.
Really good imho. Things like the exorcist I laugh right through the whole thing. Everything on Netflix labeled horror except for “ A dark song” and the “autopsy of Jane doe” are only ok and mostly subpar....but I still like watching them for some reason. Them other two I mentioned are just good overall horror mystery. Highly recommended
Let’s just say that it’s a trippy trip to hell, and is a good allegory for nightmare dimensions and hell trips that one can find themselves in while tripping on psychedelics . Imho!

Same for me on Interstellar. It's my brother-in-law's favorite movie, and when I told him I wasn't into it, he gave me the "well you just don't understand it then".
And yes Jurassic World was bad.
Blind Ass -- yeah I looked it up, I'll definitely have to watch that one

All the recent superhero movies. Pretty much anything from marvel movie wise. I've seen a bunch and thought every single one was pretty bad, but people go crazy for that shit. All the avengers stuff, anything even remotely related to that, etc. etc. I don't ever want to see another one.
I also agree about interstellar being shit. The first matrix was pretty good, but the sequels were some of the worst movies I've ever seen. Filled with terrible lines, awful acting, unbelievably bad plot, seriously some of the worst movies ever.
I guess some people with no taste are now defending the star wars prequels or something but everyone knows those are shit. I think it's really just a troll that people are falling for or something because there's no way anyone could ever think those were any good at all. Also Return of the Jedi was shit, in fact the only good-ish star wars was Empire Strikes Back. And the only good Indiana Jones was the first.

Dude.

I actually haven't seen any of them. Not one. I'm probably the only guy on earth. So I can't even say if they're bad per se, but I just have no interest at all in the marvel superhero movies.
