Movies YOU overrate


The Matrix. IMDb has it at 8.7 and Metacore at 73. I rated it 10/10.

I love that movie. It perfectly combined sci-fi, martial arts and philosophy while being spectacularly stylish and entertaining as well. It also has unrivalled replay value.

The Wild Geese (1978) IMDB has it at 6.8. I rate it a 10/10.

In regards to personal taste alone I tend to rate many films higher than their IMDB rating and The Wild Geese is certainly one of them. The cast of Burton, Harris, Moore and Kruger are amazing in this tale of a mercenary rescue mission gone wrong in a small African nation. The ending gets to me no matter how many times I've seen it.

I love Starship Troopers 9/10 for me too.

It's a proper popcorn film.

reply

They're fun yes, but 9/10? You definitely overate 'em. Which is what this thread is all about. Good job!

reply

I just can't help it. I know I shouldn't like them as much as I do.

reply

I can't believe Scream only has a 7.2 on IMDB! It's pretty much a 9 for me.

reply

I think I love The Blair Witch Project more than is healthy for any human being

reply

the love witch, maybe? it's a 4.5-5/5 for me, and i can't get enough of watching it. 6.2/10 on imdb.

sing street is absolutely one of my favourite films, a billion stars out of 5. makes me laugh & cry & every time i watch it i have a skip in my step for days afterwards. it undeniably traffics in some cliches, & some people are a bit sniffy towards it - though it has a pretty solid 8/10 on imdb i see.
