The Last Overhyped movie you've seen recently?

[bsfins]

What was the last movie you watched.that after yougot done watching it,left you feeling...It was way too over hyped....(It doesn't have to be critics hype,it could just be friends,coworkers,etc, talking about how good a movie is)

I kind of ran into this with the Movie Paranormal state,When it was at the theaters, half our office thought this movie was really, scary,creepy and saw it a few times...Maybe it's scarier at the theater, I thought it stunk,it wasn't scary..Maybe I hate the genre of reality docu-horror, I've not seen one I liked yet....

The Hangover. Everyone was like, "OMG that was hilarious, so funny, you have to see it"...  It was ok, nothing special, hilarious it wasn't.

I know I'm going to catch hell for this, but my vote is Avatar.

300

[Dave Gray]

Can I change my answer to The Hurt Locker?

Good film, but all of this Oscar talk is nonsense.

[Defense54]

Anchorman.

I agree ......that movie SUCKED.   Tony.......Suberbad? Really? McLovin was hysterical ! I guess I'm bias though because those crooked cops were off the chain.

superbad

I HATED superbad. Seriously.

mclovin' was great in a few scenes, but all those guys movies really suck.  that director, whatever his name is, seth rogan, all those guys.  i jsut don't like their shtick....way too cheezy and unrealistic.

superbad was also not original - it just ripped off 4 great movies and combined them into 1 unoriginal mediocre one.

Agreed on all accounts. I loathe seth rogen and judd apatow (sp?).

Office Space.

This movie is not funny, period. I had people FOR YEARS tell me how awesome this movie was, how funny it was, and how it so closely paralleled their own office environment. I never believed any of it, nor did I care.

Well I had this one co-worker who just couldn't for the life of her believe that I had never seen Office Space. (Which reminds me - I want to do a thread about how I hate people who do the whole "You've NEVER SEEN [Movie X]?? OMG!! You HAVE to see it" bullshit).

Anyways she went out and bought me a used DVD for my birthday. I still have it. I watched it once, and it wasn't funny. It wasn't really all that great. None of the movie characters resembled anyone I'd ever worked with, ever. And to top it off, the movie spirals into some ridiculous scheme that would never ever happen, ever.

The Office (the TV Series, U.S. Version) is so far more in sync with an office environment that "Office Space", the Movie. It's also 1,000,000 funnier, clever-er. The worst "The Office" episode is at least 10,000 better than the entire "Office Space" movie.

How could you list 300 and The Hangover? That's astounding...

The Hangover. Everyone was like, "OMG that was hilarious, so funny, you have to see it"...  It was ok, nothing special, hilarious it wasn't.

Couldn't have said it better myself.  Everyone said it was the funniest movie they've ever seen.  When I saw it, I thought it was funny, but there are a ton of movies more funny.

I'm with a couple of ya here... Hangover and Superbad were both way overrated.
