Overrated movies/shows

[jomeara1]

What are some movies/shows that a lot of people love that you just can’t get into and why? Here’s my list:

Movies:

Inception- Once I figured out what was going on in the movie was when I realized how stupid the plot was

Hacksaw Ridge- corny, cliche after cliche after cliche with ridiculous, over the top war scenes that was so bad it was comical.

300- every scene was just bad CGI in slow motion.

Donnie Darko- I tried to like it, but I just don’t. There is not one character that I like in that movie.


Shows:

Dexter- Another show that doesn’t have one character that I like. The ending was god awful too.

Stranger things- I never understood the praise. Just seems like any other generic show with suspense in it.

Sons of Anarchy- the whole tough guy biker thing is just too cheesy for me.

Weeds- started off good, but then went completely downhill after season 4ish.

Orange is the new black- nothing interesting or exciting ever happens.

The walking dead- I liked seasons 1-3, but by the time they got to Alexandria it became the same old shit over and over again.  Everything seems so predictable now.

Black Mirror is pretty overrated in my mind. I've only watched a few episodes but I don't feel compelled to watch any more. Even the first episode with the pig sex isn't deep once you get past the shock value. I think they have really interesting worlds that they build up but the social commentary aspect is just so heavy handed (which I know is the point) without any actual foundation underneath to help prop it up or flesh out the details in an interesting manner.

Bable and 21 Grams. I think they're from the same director and people seemed to love them when they came out but I thought they were absolute dog shit.

I disagree with the notion that the end of Dexter sucked. If you didn't like any characters why did you watch it to the end? It was like 8 seasons.

I wasn’t a fan of Babel either. The trailer looked cooler than it really was.

My ex girlfriend loved Dexter and made me watch every season with her at the time. I thought the ending was disappointing. Just my opinion.

I’ve actually never seen it either but I would like to. I don’t have HBO but I have a free trial of it right now so I want to try to watch a few before the trial runs out.

I have never liked that medieval world and it annoys the shit out of me that all they do is meaningful banter it makes it feel fake and boring. Would like to see them do more normal shit and I also think it's not that epic as people make it seem. And it took way too long for the ice people and the dragons to come. Pros are that there are some nice titties in it if you are into that kind of stuff.

I'll throw another one under the bus: Lord of the Rings, all of them

Agreed, Lord of The Rings were terrible, all of them.

Never watched any of them and don’t plan on it any time soon.

I'm sure I'll catch shit for this but I didn't care for the Sopranos. Didn't even make it through 1 season. Just wasn't what I'd built it up in my head to be. Maybe I'll  try again one day but so much new good stuff coming out on the regular that I doubt it.

i agree 100%. all that kings and queens and castles shit has never been entertaining to me.

I really liked the Sopranos but I can see why some people wouldn’t like it.

Back to Lord of the Rings- It’s not the story or plot that is keeping me from watching it, I just don’t have the patience to watch 3.5-4 hour long movies.

With Lord of the Rings, Froto acted like such a pussy so much that I just couldn't stand it. Nothing worse than a whiny protagonist...

[shark tits]

agreed on lord of the rings
also star wars
scarface is 3 plus hours of boring w/ a few bits of violence and a quotable white dude in brown face.
blow w/ johnny depp
twin peaks 'fire walk w/ meeeee'. fuckin tidbits of shtoops
dogtown and z-boys.

No work of "art" is more overrated than Forrest fucking Gimp.

I hate theatrical skate related movies. 

[Monkey_Mcpott]

Sons of Anarchy started strong and ended Horribly. Same thing goes with How I Met Your Mother.

I've offended people when I've said Mike Epps is not funny and his stand up specials are not that good.

Nah man. Fire Walk With Me is great when you realize it is a character study of Laura Palmer versus the season 3 of the show that everyone wanted it to be when it was released.

[Hevonen]

Twin Peaks - First couple episodes got me thinking maybe it's gonna be good, then there's like 20 filler episodes with the plot moving nowhere and ending was meh. All my friends who praise it are those ''being weird for the sake of being weird'' type girls

Inception - Liked it at first but then the plot just started feeling stupid and who's dreams are that fucking boring?

Ironman - Whole concept sucks and hate that dudes face

Memento - Didn't work as well on the second viewing

LOTR

Probably a good franchise. Only problem: I fucking hate fantasy. Too gay and any attempts at epic end up in total cringe for me. I just cannot stomach it. Having said that, it might be good. I'm more into science fiction so I don't know shit.

Don't worry, I'll thrash sci-fi now:

The Matrix.

Started off good but had to include tons of gay shit with Trinity. Booring... Just give misery, robots, death and that green filter.

Inception/That space shit with Clooney and Bulloc/That black hole shit with Matthew McFuckface

One view only.

Pretty much any time travel shit ever.

Yeah, this concept does not work.  12 monkey was pretty good, though. Creepy as fuck to this day.

Gummo/Ken park/Kids/ All the "shocking"/graphic films.

Once you go for a second view, there is nothing there. Nothing.

Breaking Bad

Junkies and speed freaks don't like each other. It's probably good, though.

I liked Sopranos, but I felt that it just went on too long because it was popular and making money. The last few seasons were basically unwatchable and had no plot. 

Any time a TV show or movie start selling logo tee-shirts or other merchandise it's a huge downturn.
