I can't stand it when people go into an action movie like Avengers, Iron Man, Transformers, whatever, and come out criticizing it for not having emotion depth or some garbage like that. These are movies based on comic books, toys, kids shows, etc... Do people really walk in expecting an epic drama with emotional depth and oscar-worthy character development?? Do you walk into a burger joint and rate it poorly for not being a top-tier steakhouse?

It's an ACTION MOVIE, and a very good one at that, so no, not overrated.

I mostly agree, I think there can be emotional depth, but it is meant to be a simple action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously

The same cannot be said for the Dark Knight Rises, the worst film I have seen in a very long time

I thought The Dark Night Rises was great.

The film is just a series of plot holes, it made me just start hitting things in rage so so so frequently

Any plot hole in those movies can be answered in this way... how? Because he's BATMAN!

Yeah, the whole every cop in the sewer thing was just so amazingly stupid, I felt insulted by that film, as Nolan wanted to make it a more realistic superhero film than the rest

I just turn off my 'plot hole detector' when I go to watch a superhero movie, since 90% of what any superhero or supervillian does is, by definition, impossible.

The Avengers was a good popcorn movie that didn't try to be much more than that ... People who wanted more were probably disappointed, while those who wanted that were probably very pleased.

Prometheus was just garbage ...


Prometheus was one of the deepest Sci-fi epics I had seen since 2001: ASO. Its not garbage, its just a hard movie, and you need a special level of itelligence to actually grasp the importance of things that where shown, and the promisses that where made, in case a trilogy is actually made.

OT: yeah, TA was terrible. It was a collection of cringe worthy jokes and mediocre special effects. But sheep like those

So, if it is such an intelligent movie, why do they use flame-throwers in a low oxygen/high carbon dioxide environment?

It was a poorly written, poorly acted, and poorly directed movie that was full of scientific flaws and plot holes.

Yip was horrible in my opinion, and so was avatar and everyone seemed to like that.

For me it's actually The Hobbit


The hobbit got bashed by the reviewers though how does that make it overrated?

The first time I watched Avatar, I thought it was great. The second time I watched it (and was not just drooling over the special effects), I thought it was a terribly acted, stupidly written piece of crap.

I try, but I just couldn't keep it up

I liked the idea.  The execution and characters had major issues.  I kept going "why are these people behaving like this?"  as felt closer to 1980s slasher victims than a team of scientists.

I have one question.  The opening scene, not sure I quite got what happened there. Anyone?

I .... I didn't enjoy it.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.
