The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the first that comes to mind although if I think a bit harder I might get one or two even worse.

Either 300 or One Night in Paris.

Both of them sucked. Though, there was more clothing in One Night in Paris.

Saw it with a female friend, she loved it, I was bored as well. Too slow and too many drama cliches.

Y'know this thread has the potential to cause conflicts. I WANT TO ARGUE A FEW SO MUCH!

Anyway, the new Star Trek film. I liked the Scotty bits, but after that I never really liked any of the characters in the slightest. I miss Sisko...

Acatar: total fleh. I've seen better movies with my eyes shut.

Inception: a little obvious and bland.

Transformers: don't even get me started on the Bay </uwe boll like impression>

The Dark Knight: I know people who will watch that shit over and over and over and over and still think it's the greatest thing ever done since ever. It was good, and I enjoyed it the first time. After that though, no.

Overrated? Blade Runner and Citizen Kane. They weren't bad movies, but I just didn't see what all the fuss was about.

Yes, it was pretty, yes, it sounded amazing, but so is listening to Pink Floyd in an art gallery, and I wouldn't spend three hours doing that.

It took me five minutes to work out every plot point in the film, it would've been nice for them to have thrown in a plot twist, or at least some vaguely tolerable characters.

I'm going to have to go with The Dark Knight. It was good. Heath Ledger was amazing. But it wasn't the movie equivalent of an orgasm that most geeks experienced. I ever feel that after multiple viewings that Batman Begins is a better film and like Graham felt that Iron Man was the better movie that summer.

The Dark Knight and Avatar.

I am a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE Batman fan. I absolutely loved the movie. But not to the fucking point that I'd parrot "Why so serious?" every time someone has a civil conversation! And it brought out THE WORST KIND of Batman fans! The kind that had ONLY SEEN THAT ONE MOVIE and started to say "I'm a huge Batman fan!" FUCK OFF! See Danny DeVito as The Penguin or Oswald Cobblepot and THEN talk!

Or maybe the worst kind of Batman fans are the elitists who can't realise that it's almost always a good thing if someone likes the same thing as you, and that it's very hard to find a case where someone likes something for a 'wrong reason'.
But for me, I'd have to say Dr. Strangelove, because I'm just that controversial. It was good, just not as amazing as everyone had told me it'd be.

That being said:

The Princess Bride.

I just don't think it's very funny. There's a couple of good lines, but most of the movie just falls flat on me and a couple of the characters make me want to choke them. The very devoted and very vocal fan base doesn't help either.

Yup, expected that one.

But as a further means of defense: It's not that I hate it, it's just that it's really not for me.
