Re: Your Most Overrated. Movie. Ever.

70% on RT for a comedy is actually rated pretty damn high.

And for future reference, don't try and circumvent the filter by typing "@ss"...type *** and let it filter it. Thanks.

plus; 70% on rottentomatoes = not overrated, just boringly average.
Well, caring what college kids feel about the movie is pretty important since they're the ones who brought it to borderline cult status. You feel it was never rated highly to begin with just basing it off critic reviews and RT. The demographic who was obsessed with ND isn't gonna be posting on Rotten Tomatoes.

Re: Your Most Overrated. Movie. Ever.

Want overrated, people that constantly say that Rotten Tomatoes rankings make a movie good or not.

Heaven forbid anyone likes anything different, we should all be fembots and like the exact same movie and things. How exciting life would be.

Superbad was hyped and well worth it, so I know some movies can live up to the hype.

Napoleon Dynamite is another good choice.

Add me to this list. Napoleon Dynamite is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen. I think I laughed once or twice the entire movie. Don't get me wrong, I actually like Jon Heder and find a lot of his movies to be entertaining, but Napoleon Dynamite was just pure, unfiltered ****. The film used to make this movie could have done something good, like a hemorrhoids documentary, and it would have been better than that movie.

The characters are overrated and just not funny. Anyone who was actually stupid enough to buy a Vote for Pedro tshirt should be chemically castrated, as to prevent the Mike Judge prophecy that was Idiocracy from coming true, as they are the first steps towards our demise. Words cannot describe just how bad this movie truly was, unless they are words of self defense in explaining why you beat the morons who constantly quoted this movie to death with your shoe. Just because something is low budget doesn't mean it's good, I fear those who found this movie to be good are mindless drones who were systematically brainwashed to do whatever MTV said.

Just the demographic thats obsessed with N.D. isnt big enough to get it overrated. And it seems like the movies 'popularity' has dropped off percipitously.

sigh........
To be 'overrated' something has to be first, 'rated' ei; well reviewed (hence siting RT) and popular.

I strongly disagree with that, we are talking about the 16-21 year old age group here. How is it any different from the film dweebs at RT who give some movie 90% of America has never heard of a perfect rating? Just because RT gives you a tangible rating?
