Truly most overated film of all time.

That's my general opinion as well. 8.9(Basically a 9/10), rated #10 is just a tad bit much. It's NOT better than Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, The Shining, Heat, Alien, Chinatown and about 100 other films... But, its okay. Its imdb. I love the site but some films are bloated. The Dark Knight, as great as it is, is NOT #4(Last Ranking I saw), nor is 2001 ASO ranked like 82 or something. What's Apocalypse Now and FMJs ranking? I mean, I'll take anything post Lolita or Dr. Strangelove with Kubrick over this film. Talk about THEMES, he was the *beep* MASTER. No Country For Old Men, Jaws, There Will Be Blood and even Se7en, Finchers breakout... But what can I say, im one guy. A million people think otherwise and its okay, because at least its not junk. It is a GOOD Film.

Hahahaaa! A 16 year-old movie embedded into popular culture and 'somehow you knew they were the same people'? Maybe after seeing 16 years of knock-off twists you 'somehow knew' the ending, which didn't leave you uplifted. While you are at it, why don't you tell us what you think about 'Citizen Kane' and 'Birth of a Nation' and how you rate them through the prism of your eyes in 2015.

Exactly. When I saw the rating and learned how popular it was, I thought that I was going to be mesmerized by this film, which eventually didn't happen.

I admire the technical brilliance of David Fincher, I loved Zodiac and The Social Network. They were stylistically very modern and near perfect comparative to current films. I love the tempo of his films which he achieves through subtle editing and background score showing his grasp on the technical, story-telling aspect of direction.

It was still his early days when he made Fight Club. I think the content itself wasn't as polished as everyone thinks it to be, and everything just seems a little bit over the top, which separates his later works from this one. Technically, it still turned out to be a fairly good attempt.

Overall, I will give it a 7/10. 7 for me, is a very good film, but not excellent. American Beauty, The Dark Knight, The Shawshank Redemption are all 7/10 for me. American Hustle, Eyes Wide Shut, Double Indemnity, A Short Film About Love (1988) are 8/10 for me.

Also, 16 year old is a pretty lame point to argue, the history of cinema dates back to the last decade of the 19th century if I am not wrong. Secondly, those million people you are talking about who have 'collectively' rated this film this high have no real understanding or appreciation of art. Most of them are just blind followers. On this scale, I have to rate something like 2001:A Space Odyssey or Vertigo 13/10, cause when this film can be rated 9/10, then those masterpieces can never be rated anything below that going by your logic.

OMFG! Gone Girl is terrible. The story/screenplay is moronic/laughable and the only redeemable thing about the film is its direction and cinematography. Let's see how well GG is rated when it reaches 1.2 million votes.

In this it has more of the Nazi Germany principle, than the roman invented fascist system.
