Overrated Movie Thread
I'll start
Arguably the most overrated movie ever : Pulp Fiction
Dark Knight. Everyone knows Val Kilmer is the best Batman
>>708065117
No dude. You are just wrong.
>>708065117
Im pretty sure its this one...
Nightmare Before Christmas.
>>708065117
What's a good movie then?
>>708065362
Yes! Fucking this. The movie is fine but people really need to shut the fuck up about it.
>>708065117
Howard the Duck
>>708065236
>>708065271
>>708065325
I'm being 100% serious.
Also, you spelled "sole" wrong.
>>708065465
Literally every other Tarantino movie is better than PF, and then I mean we can list other films all night, but I'll start you off with that.
>>708065236
BRILLIANT!
>>708065117
All of which so far are really great movies? What's the fucking line? All are very unique, what's bad about them?
>>708065117
I know it's bait, but go fuck yourself.

howbout this, instead of immediately shitting on OP's claim, howabout you guys try and explain what makes pulp fiction such a great movie. try and use terms other than "BECAUSE OMFG DOOD IT'S SO FUCKIN GOOD TARANTINOS DICK IS HUGE ETC ETC ETC"
i doubt you can come up with more than that
I find Shawshank Redemption to be deeply overrated. I know, this could just as well be an
>unpopular opinion
thread, but that's what I think.
>>708065999
Trips of truth
>>708066266
All I'm asking is where is the line for a great movie? It's overly opinionated. Once the line is placed I might agree. Scale of 1 to 10 possibly?
>>708065117
>this
Anyone who says this is better than 7/10 is autismo extremo. I watched it once after I "had to see it" it was good but it wasn't that good.
>>708066598
Loved all of those movies, very original in their own ways, all of movies listed so far were original. That's what I enjoyed.
I cannot really contribute to this thread since I haven't seen any of these popular movies.

i want to get triggered by fight club and matrix but i guess i have to respect those trips since all those movies are sooooooooo massively hyped
>>708066656
>>708066839
yes, agree. i'd give it a 6, purely because it was SO FUCKING HYPED OMFG PULP FICTION OMFG DOOD SO FKIN GOOD. that's literally how people referred to it when i told them i hadn't seen it yet. objectively it MIGHT be a 7 on a really good day if i was really drunk and probably smoking weed too
>>708066907
maybe I'm just a dumbass, but Donnie Darko twisted my dick 360 degrees and walked away
To stay with the Tarantino theme : Kill Bill, Especially the first. Not saying that it's a bad movie, but I think it's not as refined and perfectly put together as other Tarantinos. I also notice that boy Quentin likes to redefine laws of physics for art's sake, but there's definitely an abuse of those in this movie...
>>708067073
ur dum
>>708067073
if you watch one film on that list it should be Pirates of the Carribbean Black Pearl
it's a totally cliche romantic view of what a pirate is, and it's absolutely brilliant at being completely unoriginal
>>708065764
>bait
>actually thinking tarantino movies are good and not cucked versions of stolen films
http://www.businessinsider.com/quentin-tarantino-stolen-movie-scenes-2015-6
Here's how you make a Tarantino flick.
1. Pick up a popular topic/genre
2. Find famous movie scenes
3. Cuck and pack in niggers as hero characters
4. Use 0 originality
5. Use a gimic so people can defend your work as "unique"
6. Leave in bad acting as a "feature"
7. Rinse and repeat.
The only film of his I used to like was RD until I found out he stole a Japanese film with the same plot and major scenes, even the 3 way Mexican stand off.
tl;dr
If you like his movies and defend them, you're basically defending store brand soda over name brand without realizing the store brand is a shit tier knock off
>>708067086
For PF I'd give it at least an 8. Great actors, rewatch value, great cult classic in its own fucked up way.
>Inside Out
>Juno
>Bridesmaids
>Little Miss Sunshine
>The Hours
>Beauty and the Beast
>>708065117
gj u started a thread picking an actuall good movie with tht post. u made me post u dickface
>>708065340
also this is the correct one
>>708067134
I'd give Donnie Darko an 8 as well, great movie, fucking weird, even better on drugs.
>>708065999
>Fight Club
It's good tho, the book is better so I give you that.
>Donnie Darko
Yeah, I don't remember a lot of it, but I give it a meh.
>Boondock Saints
Haven't seen it.
>Matrix
I mean, was great for the time it came out.
>>708067466
exact same thing happened to me with Res Dogs.
i was 'that guy' at parties in college who touted its brilliance
pretty much been shitting on quentin ever since
i have to admit though i did enjoy Hateful 8, not in a 'this is relaly original' way, just liked the atmosphere of it
>>708065117
What's your favorite movie dickhead? What about favorite color?
>>708067334
Do not insult someone's intelligence by spelling your words like this.
>>708067466
Unoriginality does not make his movies bad.
>>708067771
boondock saints are worth the watch if you're into shootouts and shit
I would recommend them
2001: A Space Odyssey.
A good movie, and I love trippy space stuff, but it was so overhyped that I was mostly bored when I watched it
>>708067771
>fight club
>book is better
Chuck Palahniuk, the author of Fight Club, has literally publicly stated that he admits David Fincher (the director of the film) made his story into something even better than he ever imagined the book could be.
TL:DR - you are 100% wrong
>>708065117
>>708066266
> Great Actors
> Great Acting (2 different things)
> Great story (not talking about sequence order, yet)
> Great dialog

>>708067466
I know what you mean. It irritates me how he even refers uses the word "homage" and claims how other works are derived from preexisting works. However, you probably have to admit that regardless of the "inspirations" for his movies, they are good movies for the most part. Even if other writers/directors had made an English-language remake of City on Fire, do you think that it would have been as good or entertaining as Reservoir Dogs?
If you were to tell other writers and directors to pick and choose story elements from other movies to create a whole movie (basically what Tarantino does -- he samples a bassline from one song, vocals from another, a guitar riff from this one et cetera), they would probably not do it as well as Tarantino.
I think that his films are great, but I would like to see him be more original because I know that he can be.
Grease
Any Disney movie
Force Awakens or Return of the Jedi
Pulp Fiction
>>708068203
>What are opinions?
They are diferent formats, also I have read other Palahniuk's work, I like his writing style.
Don't get me wrong, the movie is in my top 10
The Shawshank Redemption is overrated to hell.
Agree with Pulp Fiction though.

Okay let me take a second and ask, why?
Seriously, why do people like Donnie darko?
As someone who was a goth/emo kid (when I was a kid, don't worry I grew up) all my friends loved it. I hated it because I don't fall for hype. I kept getting
>ugh but they time travel!
>you don't understand me or my movie
>it's about accepting death
>muh feels
No.
I understand the movie and the concept of how the director "solved" time travel (by making it a ducking dream, the biggest cop-out around) but the movie, itself, is pure trash.
And this
>>708067466
Dubs speak truth.
Tarantino steals movies from over seas and really films them. He has 0 talent

The only ones that were really worth much were the first two because they were comfy as fuck, but then they just divebombed into grimdark young-adult such-n-such, so you're much more likely to notice the flaws and pointless scenes and such and can't excuse it as "just a kid's movie".
>>708065117
Whoever originally penned the word 'overrated' needs to be repeatedly punched in the dick/vag. Nowadays the word is used by edgy teens to basically shout
>YOU'RE OPINION DOESNT MATTER ONLY I AM CORRECT
>>708070477
Thanks for the tip, I'll steer clear of the movies.
>>708070477
>says the movies has flaws, doesn't list flaws
kys. Actually everyday ITT kill yourselves. If you've said something is overrated at least put forward a decent argument as to why you didn't like the film.
>>708065117
Babadook, Donnie Darko, Birdman
Babadook was a huge letdown. Fuck the metaphors, I want to watch a horror movie to be scared.
Donnie Darko is retarded if you actually try to think about it. Hurr Durr I'm gonna let myself die instead of exposing the pedo, saving my sister and mom, and my girlfriend. Fucking stupid.
Birdman was the worst of these three. Pretentious bunch of bullshit. Trying way too fucking hard with the long shots. Do it once or twice for effect. Do it the whole movie, you're a douche. Director had no ending for it either. When a director won't give the meaning for the ending, that's how you know he's full of shit. The best ending would have been BatKeaton shooting himself in the head, crowd cheers, fade to black. Done. Fuck that stupid movie.
>>708068032
>>708068546
They are filmed well but it's not QT who made them good. Also he never credits the stolen films. If you go into his movies knowing that, it makes you think less of them
He hired the top actors and basically stole a script, filmed in good locations and followed current trends. If you see his early work it still has his awful filming style with low tier actors and you start hating all his work.
His movies rest fully on the shoulders of his actors and rip off script.
I mean picture if a good movie like citizen Kaine was redone with Kevin James.
Or picture if a lacking movie with a good idea, let's say, "in time" starred a decent actor like Clint Eastwood in his hay-day -time running out and he's playing slow and steady just barely saving the day at the last second; you'd be on the edge pissing yourself-
I will give him some credit, but being a good director is like being a good expeditior in a kitchen. Your job is to make the final plate look good, but you need no skill if you have good cooks (actors) and good recipes (scripts).
>>708070477
but you know what was cool? the dumbledor vs voldemor
I don't know how they fucked up the Harry vs voldemor, twice
>>708070688
Things can literally be overrated. Like for example you might think a certain movie doesn't actually deserve the accolades it has achieved.
>>708070900
>trying way to hard with the long shots
Seriously don't understand what people didn't like about the cinematography, it was easily the best part of the movie. You do realise that the one shots were in fact symbolic of the theatre setting of the film? The one shots make total sense in the context of the film. I do agree that the film overall was kinda overhyped though.
Deadpool
Total piece of shit
>>708070877
don't tell me what to do!
>>708070900
When you get a little older watch babadook again. It's not a standard horror flick and I wouldnt be surprised of a lot of it simply went over your head.
>>708069875
>hurrr you have to be good at something to criticize it
That's a logical fallacy, anon.
You don't have to be a chef to know TGIFridays makes shut tier food.
You don't have to be a musician to know nicki manaj is a shit musician.
Almost no respectable critics have directedn wrote, or starred in movies, take red letter media, considered the best of the best, they film almost nothing.
>>708071583
This. A lot of people say 'X popular movie sucked and was overrated' basically because they're stupid and couldn't comprehend what they actually saw.
>>708070900
>TRIGGERED
so let me get this straight anon...
you're mad because in one film, someone died instead of doing things
and then you're mad because in another film, other things happened instead of someone dying?
and you're also mad because multi-millionaire actors and directors who literally define what it means to be "pretentious", were acting a little bit pretentious?
Ok anon
>>708071376
I'm glad someone has this opinion.
>>708065117
Pulp Fiction is a genuinely good movie, not overrated.
Fight club is also OK, but way overrated, as are all of Palhaniuk's books.
>>708065117
V for Vendetta?
>>708070900
Mostly agree. I did like Babadook. It wasn't very scary but was well constructed. Annoying kid is annoying.
Birdman, geeze, hollywood faggotry at it's worst.

You didn't criticized his work tho. You made an assertion
>He has 0 talent
I'm not defending him, but I'm asking you, do you have more talent to direct a movie?
>2001: A Space Odyssey
I respect how it's influenced modern film, and what it accomplished - but this movie was easily one of the most boring things I've ever seen. It's way longer than it needs to be, nothing happens, and the story leaves way to much open for interpretation.
>Interstellar
Just an overrall mess of a film. Did it look good? Sure. But I came out in 2014, and all movies look good now in terms of CGI. The story was fucking stupid, the characters sucked, and the script overall was just terrible. The only reason it has the reputation is does is because the guy who directed a really great Batman movie als happened to direct it. If this movie was made be M. Night Whatshisface it would have been panned as it rightfully deserved to be.
>>708070877
You want me to put together a critique for all 8 of the Harry Potter movies?
I mean, I could list off some problems. For one, the decision to start creating films before the books concluded led to some awkward choices. Example: they deemed Dobby overall unnecessary when the fourth movie was filmed, and thus cut him out of each movie since, only for him to become a key participant in part of Deathly Hallows, forcing them to shoehorn him in in an awkward fashion (literally "I was walking along and noticed the plot was happening, so here I am").
Pointless scenes I've mentioned; there are plenty of points that are unnecessary for the plot and are just there because "lol majik", which was fine for the first two, but then they started gunning for "serious" storytelling and it just became stupid.
Add to that the various plotholes in each movie, plotpoints where the only explanation is "lol read the books to get it, retard", clumsy editing, weird stylistic choices, and so on. Overall, it rides completely on being adapted from a popular kids' series that people will mindlessly defend to hell and back.
>>708071583
Dude, chill, I'm 30. I get that the movie is about loss and coping with it and turning into a monster towards the ones you love blah blah blah. That's not what bothers me, what bothers me is that I wasn't gonna watch the fucking tthing in the first place but it had like a 91% fresh rating. You're gonna tell me that movie is better than Susperia? Or any Dario Argento movie for that matter? Fuck that shit.
>>708072234
>implying the post you responded to defended Donnie Darko, or any other film
>>708071376

>edgy means good

2001 was objectively good as long as your attention span allows for enjoying it. Interstellar was objectively mediocre. That's really all there is to say about it. This dead horse has been beaten countless times in countless threads by countless kids and adults alike. But seriously, that's really all there is to say about it.
>inb4 the inevitable fag starts sucking Interstellar's dick once again

To be fair, the soundtrack was fucking epic tho
>>708072478
>lol read the books to get it
You could say the exact same thing about Lord of the Rings tbh. So much shit happens in those movies with zero explanation as to why that shit actually happens.
>>708072895
>objectively good
Total disagree. Subjectively good, sure. But 2001 certainly isn't a movie for everyone.
>>708073388
>Lord of the Rings
>So much shit happens
Not really, but oh boy! they like to talk
>>708073245
>objectively good
>as long as your attention span allows for enjoying it
you didn't even manage to read more than 5 words into that post anon, so i'm not surprised you didn't like it
>>708073325
for Interstellar? yea i can't argue with that. that's actually the only reason i watched it a 2nd time recently, and realized it is nothing without the soundtrack. seriously, watch it again, and imagine that scene where Matthew McLincolnCommercials drives his super-spinning Lincoln and docks the ships with the spinning station WITHOUT the heart-wrenching music
hint : it's trash
>>708073611
you can't excuse pointless on-screen fuckery by saying everyone who sees through it has a short attention-span. Some scenes are just bad and should be done other ways or cut.
>>708072307
>didn't criticize
I guess I didn't but the anon I quoted did, so I was using that.
I did go on to say, however, that with so much talent surrounding him he needed no talent.
I'll put it this way
He is the George Lucas that has yet to be exposed.
One day he'll have total power and an original script and fuck it all up. (Assuming he actually has faith inhimself)
I did go far bysaying 0 talent, but being hyperbolic is typical.
If you want my honest opinion he is overrated, which is what this thread is about. I think he has some skill.
As for me having that talent, I'm not sure. I'm a good director for the work I do, but I just direct, edit and produce my college's news podcast. All I do is say "action" let them talk, make them do over bad takes, and compile at the end.
I do spend a lot of time over analyzing films, so if one day I make one I hope I don't fuck up, but directors do far less than you think. Again it's my expidition metaphor, if you have good people doing the rest of the jobs, your work is easy. It's actually a great metaphor (not to stroke my own ego, I didn't even come up with it) because an expiditor is the guy who calls out who should be doing what, when, and then then puts it all together.
tl;Dr
He doesn't have 0 talent, but he is highly overrated.
>>708073388
I'm not saying LOTR is an absolute diamond itself, but there's a difference between providing exposition for the sake of worldbuilding (while explaining most or all the necessary plotpoints), and introducing plotpoints with absolutely no explanation.
Example: Goblet of Fire, when Harry and Voldemort's wands connected, ultimately saving Harry from Voldemort and allowing him to escape. Why did this happen? Absolutely no explanation. No mention that it has to do with their "brother" wands at all, not in any of the films to my knowledge.
As a side, they then use the exact same "connection" thing in every fucking dual in the series, despite only the FIRST incident having justification for it.
>>708072610
Sorry, wrong post
(Ducking everyone is defending it tonight, I jumped the gun)
Mad Max Fury Road was complete shit. Characters were flat, action was far too excessive and weapon physics changed in between scenes. Also, those fucking FEAR-style flashbacks in the last fight.
>>708073953
yea you're right, 2001 should have just been a 2 hour montage of TITS EXPLOSIONS FUCKS NUDITY SEX MURDER RAPE DRUGS HARDCORE SHIT instead of the work of art that it was. you're right anon.
>>708073966
Haven't seen the movies in awhile but I'm almost certain it's mentioned. In think either by Dumbledore or Ollivader
IMO, considering how high in terms of praise the LOTR are held, they are much more guilty of poor explanation. Not once in those fucking movies is it even explained what the ring does. The fucking ring, the centrepiece for the entire trilogy. Also Gandalf, what exactly can he do and why the fuck did he come back to life? One movie he's soloing a Balrog, the next movie he's struggling to take out a couple of Orcs. Both movies are guilty of poor exposition in regards to the lore of their respective worlds, but when you look at how highly acclaimed the LOTR films are, their far more at fault.

define "pointless" within the context of a piece of art designed to tell a fictional narrative. because if i wanted to be a real ass hole, i could just go ahead and say the whole movie is pointless. hell, i could say being a live is pointless. shit man, i could go and say the entire universe is pointless.
>>708075246
it's old and the scene where the guy fell looked fake af. if it was a good movie they would have invented cgi for it. acting was horrible, developing characters and selling convincing roles does not make for a good movie, it's crap. and they didn't have cell phones. obviously fucking losers.

Because even though I love them and their music, they are held above all others as a golden idol to worship.
But seriously

That's the only film that moves me.
The only directing that comes close to emotionally moving is SOME of David lynch's work.
good list regardless.

Perfect example. Nothing makes people more prone to unworthy worship than

that film should be burnt like a jew.
>>708075547
the sequences were designed mostly to look and feel like "art" so Kubrick could feel good about himself rather than communicating ideas that helped develop the film thematically or plotwise. Putting major discontinuities into the film that way weakens the structure imo.

A shit tonne of disney movies are overrated but a name the ones I hate the most
The Lion King and Frozen
>>708076165
egh, i just listed a bunch of movies i liked in the top 100 and said they are shit to see who'd bite. but people are taking it too serious.
and im bored. so im out. later.
>>708076396
Which top 100 was this?
>>708076117
I should probably clarify that I didn't enjoy the film at all, just saying that it was innovative
There Will Be Blood
Boring fucking movie with little to nothing to offer. The story was horseshit...
Should have called it Shitter Island.
pirates
island fever 3
wicked legends vol 1
dream quest
flesh hunter
space nuts
forbidden tales
nurses
>>708076480
first one google gave.
XD
If we can add tv shows, then The Wire is the most overrated show ever made.
>>708076498
but, there were blood?
>>708071213
And you can really like a movie and still know it's overrated
I know of one that's underrated you all should check it out if you haven't seen it it's called lucky number sleven
Anyone know of it?
>>708076507
did people think that was good? It was pretty terrible, yeah.
>>708075953
>>708076074
do you just like shitting on good things in life, or do you have a real excuse, like you were dropped down a flight of stairs as a babby maybe?
>>708076498
ending was great
bashes that fucks brains in
then says "im done here"
worth the 6 hour movie just for that scene.
most overrated popular movie of the last 5 years
original Ghostbusters.
People only like it because they watched it 20 years ago and can't remember how shit it is.

I liked Gangs of New York though. That was a good movie as it wasn't trying to be 100% factual. It just took the idea of the time period and ran with it.
>>708076685
It's just an overhyped movie dude, it's great and enjoyable but it's made out to be the best thing since sliced bread which it definitely isn't. I dunno maybe I'm jaded cause I've watched it too many times and killed it for myself
I'll be crying...
>>708075953
I loved it but it was over hyped it's all anyone was talking a bout I watched it a few years late
movies are bad in general
stick to tv shows
that's where the good writing is
im not talking about americas got talent or the kardashians either
oz
deadwood
hell on wheels
battlestar galactica
game of thrones
entourage
boardwalk empire
star trek (just about all)
dexter
breaking bad
band of brothers
the pacific
the wire
sopranos
firefly
sherlock
rick and morty
true detective
fargo
house of cards
west wing
6 feet under

etc...
why watch some 1.5 hour thing you're going to hate and maybe rewatch the stale bits again when you can watch a series and let each episode be a piece of a story and a movie itself...
movies are a waste and in general are all over rated.
Yikes

No one overrates this movie... If anything, I'd say it's a bit underrated. I get why hardcore Iron Man fans were not happy with the way they portrayed the Mandarin but I was okay with the twist. I think they completely wasted a great fucking villain build-up but it obviously had a huge and lasting impact on audiences after it was revealed.

that scene where dumbledore meets valdemort and he makes it seem like his dresser is on fire and he says "i think there's something in that dresser waiting to get out"... that's almost exactly what happens in "boogie nights" when jack horner meets eddie adams in the beginning and he says "i have a feeling that there's something wonderful in those jeans just waiting to come out" and eddie has a giant dick becomes a monster and valdemort becomes a giant snake monster...

This is an example of an overrated movie.

I agree.
I also think Stanley Kubrick is a hack because of how much he relies on adapting old media. I mean, come on, have an original thought, because as a fan of films the camera work, production values, acting and dialogue mean very little to me compared to originality of concept.

holy fuck.
all movies are shit and overrated because of the jew bankers and directors and jew commercialism. you are being force fed shit and paying for it because some jew somewhere convinced you to like it. all that hype and overrating comes from jews. but go ahead call me a nazi.
>>708065117
It is a good movie, like the kind that you can pull apart and analyze while still simultaneously enjoying it that's hard to do with lots of film.
I can see where you are coming from and it is kinda overhyped to shit
>>708080437
>>708080104
There is nothing wrong with the first pirates of the caribbean film it was fun and enjoyable. Although it was more aimed at younger audiences
>>708068155
This.
The movie itself is good, don't get me wrong.
Kubrick, the auteur perfectionist he is created some actually plausible scientific scenarios and the like, elevating this above the numerous other space movies, however it is also extremely boring. I get shit on for this more than I'd like to admit: the first half hour is boring, slow-burning and could have easily been only five minutes long. The movie draws everything out to preposterous dimensions because of Kubrick's demands and it frankly makes the whole thing way too boring.
Unpopular opinion #2: 2010 was way better.

>>708080437
In a weird way that kinda makes sense, not so much the generalization of Jews but rather the concept of commercialism. The internet and TV/radio overhype everything, and are the catalysts to word of mouth overhype - which leads to things being overrated. So with this logic I guess it's not the movies themselves that are over rated, instead it's the mainstream media creating a plane of existence where movies elevate to and that is called the plane of over rated movies. Movies that fall below this line can be discovered and embraced later, then become over rated, movies that are great can lose touch with the viewers over time and fall to the level of over rated.
Seems like over a long enough timeline everything becomes over rated eventually.

I was just a little shocked that in depth analysis of society could come from /b/ and the fact that you got it from anti semitic shitposting
Another major part of something being hyped after its release is the need to fit in with peers. If a majority of a group liked the film others in the group will feign interest in the film that will be carried over to other peer groups so on and so forth causing good movies to be claimed as god tier.
Inversely it can also kill a film's hype by suppressing the minorities interest.
I just assume that's what happened to children of men because that was a fucking brilliant movie but nobody has ever even heard of it

Hey, remember us?
Movies with Chat 24/7 MOSTLY HORROR with some Sci-fi/Gore/Cult/80s/Weird Films
Now Playing: Dawn of the Dead [1978]
This movie channel doesn't play everything under the sun. You won't have to sit through pablum like Avengers 2 or Batman movies. There are no cartoons, no musicals, no music videos, no TV shows... just movies. Specifically, It's mostly horror movies. Tons of stuff you have never heard of or seen. There are some sci-fi movies, 80s movies, cult movies, and just bizarre off the wall crazy shit like you have never seen, all mixed in to the horror movies. Over 700 movies that play randomly. None of that polling/voteskip shit, that shit doesn't work - because democracy doesn't work. No safe spaces here either. You can make rape jokes and insult minorities until you run out of edgy things to say if you want. The admins only police things that actually matter. Filmclub isn't here to have broad appeal or as many viewers as possible. It's here as an alternative to all the tired repetitive BS you get from the average stream. 24/7/365 movies most other streams won't play. Even classic XXX. Check it out.

Titanic was a film released to wide audiences. The story line was nothing new, but certainly a popular one. It got by on being a relatively safe movie with good marketing and popular names attached to it.
Pulp Fiction had some of those things, sure. The names attached to it were either waning or rising in popularity. Jackson was definitely no Winslet, and Travolta was definitely no Di Caprio. However, the names (except for Tarantino's) were somewhat irrelevent considering it didn't have a wide release, wasn't heavily marketed and became popular by winning a film festival.
In other words: Titanic became popular because it never had to undergo a critical examination by an audience of aficionados whereas Pulp Fiction became popular in spite of such an examination.
Pulp Fiction is a genuinely good film, and it's a positive that a lot of people like a genuinely good film and would rank it among their favourites. My favourite film is The Big Lebowski, and it has been since the nineties. The fact that a cult following has now turned in to a fairly mainstream following doesn't stop it from being my favourite film because I think the Coen Brothers deserve the popularity and I'm not a pretentious hipster who cringes when other people enjoy what I've always enjoyed.

By the way, Pulp Fiction is not overrated at all. Good performances by the actors, direction, cinematography and the script are superb.
>>708084593
I agree with you.
Tarantino is the same as Lucas in my books: He made better films when he had less control.
Pulp Fiction is a good film, but it would've been worse if it had featured slow motion shoot-outs, some techno or rap soundtrack and narration that just randomly occurs in the middle of the film.
These days Quentin Tarantino has too much freedom. I still enjoy his films, but I'd enjoy them a lot more if he didn't ignore pacing and setting.
>>708084804
Have you seen the tarantino fan circle jerk over that film.
It is beyond ludicrous good film yes god tier no, tarantino's best work also no
>>708084804
