Movies you hate and get a lot of shit for/Most overrated film you´ve seen.

Well do you have any? I get a lot of shit because I hate A Clockwork Orange:mad:

Here it goes: I didn't like Citizen Kane. It's self indulgent, the characterizations sometimes feel thin and forced, it's too long and the Rosebud trope is manipulative, and in some ways emotionally below the belt. Welles always bothers me because he's so consciously trying to generate a masterpiece that for me, it robs the end result of its significance. There are things I liked a lot about the Trial, which to me is a superior film, but I don't think he's the best.

I hated Saw 3, I thought it was totally lame. Everyone keeps saying that it's the best of the series, but that movie just had so many problems.

I get a lot of shit for Jaws, Jurassic Park & Scream. They all three do have a common thread, though. They were all WAY overhyped before I got the chance to see them, and in the case of Scream I had already had the ending & a lot of other scenes ruined for me.

The Exorcist and Halloween are a couple of "classics" that I thought were mediocre. But what can I say....I've never really enjoyed Satan movies or the typical everyday slasher films.

I personally loved Dawn of the Dead, but the person that said they didnt think it was all that great probably hates zombie movies. Everyone has their own particular tastes in film (and books).

I also hated A Clockwork Orange. I had to turn it off not even halfway through. Okay, people can argue that I should have watched it all, but I just couldn't take it anymore, it just sucked for me.
