I know it's crazy to bring up a movie from 38 years ago but I just saw it for the first time. That movie sucked and I want the 2 hours of my life back.
ET-over rated movies
- Thread starter Glenn's Take
- Start date
Agree about ET. While we are talking about overrated movies, Ferris Buellers Day Off sucks as well.
Goodnight, sweet troubadour....
Check out Raiders of the lost Ark, that’ll set it right.
I think ET was meant to be drank, not stared at for 2 hours...

Ferris Bueller at least had it's moments but it isn't the classic people make it out to be.
I've seen all 100 of AFI greatest movies if all time.
The worst one in my opinion is M*A*S*H*
I was bored to tears and found zero humor in the film.
It's the only move on the AFI list that I don't like at all and I pretty much hated it.

ET is absolutely horrible. I can’t stand the movie and never could.
Never saw ET but have close encounters. It was too slow and boring.
I hate, HATE, HAAAATE 2001: A Space Odyssey. I’ve tried to watch it 3 times and I can’t do it. I get that it broke boundaries in special effects at the time. But no matter how “visually stunning” it was, I just find 6 minutes & 9 camera angles of a guy floating in space to be pretentious and self-indulgent.
So...ET, Ferris Bueller’s, and Gladiator all suck now?
GTFO. You people are un-American.

Funny! I watched for the 1st time 2 weeks ago and it was AWFUL. The heavy breathing was pathetic and they used it to fill time.
Agree 2001 Space Odyssey is average at best. ET was good but not great.
What were Russell Crowe's thoughts about dating Meg Ryan?
He was gladiator.
I've watched Citizen Kane many times. A decent flick but the greatest movie ever made? I just don't see it. Film noir? OK.
I felt the same way. I actually thought Casablanca was pretty awesome though.
Casablanca is a classic.
Seems this might be more everyone's jam up in here.
Kind of surprised that Tootsie was a top 100 film. Just me though.

You should have played the Atari game.
Never saw ET until I was an adult although I was a teen in the 80’s. Didn’t see anything special about it. Maybe I would have enjoyed it when I was younger?
Like most movies, especially kids movies, watching them when you're older for the first time probably won't work.
I didn't get Baby Driver. Not sure what the buzz was about.
I won't go as far as saying John Wick is overrated.. but I left all 3 slightly disappointed. Good, Solid movies. Great and tactical gun play, but it kinda gets old. Plot got wonky, not the greatest bad guys.
Baby Driver is great.
Watch it with a good sound system and really pay attention with the sound... or not.

Clearly you weren't high enough.
Citizen Kane - OK, but the greatest? Nope. Casablanca >>> Citizen Kane
A lot of Best Picture winners were downright boring - too many to name.
I know this will nullify all future takes but I thought Pulp Fiction was a **** movie. I HATE Tarantino movies: comic book-levels of ridiculously over the top violence, not much/if any plot, just tedious in the extreme. Kill Bill, PF, Django - watched them and quickly forgot them. Just not enjoyable or clever or particularly well-made. I know - I'm wrong but that's my opinion.
All of the Matrix movies were just a metaphysical mess of goofy nihilism and pop psychology. Way overrated.

I agree with everything there except, I gotta admit, I freakin love The Matrix. Super interesting concept, and I loved the execution of it, although I could see someone feeling like the effects were a bit over the top. The sequels.....eh.... not so much.
