Movie ratings are very subjective. It’s not really about the skill, effort and hard work that went into the movie, that counts a lot of the time. It’s all about people’s preferences and what most people liked. There are so many movies that were “all the rage” when they came out, and they’re still hailed as being “the best”, but once you rewatch them you realize they worked back in the day but no longer hold up in the modern day. Let’s talk about the most overrated movies of all time, but remember, it’s all subjective. You can still like the movie, whether it’s a masterpiece or it’s overrated.

The only impressive thing about this movie is the work that went into the special effects. The visuals are beautiful and the special effects team worked their butts off making this happen. The movie itself, the plot, the story, the characters – all of this is incredibly predictable and borderline boring. You’re not going to leave this movie a changed human, it won’t change your worldview, it won’t give you things to think about.
2. Titanic
The ship is nice we suppose, it does look impressive. The whole scene with the ship going down – ok, that’s cool. But the story? If you think about it, it’s just a story of a rich lady having a fling with a poor guy, because they were stuck on a ship together and she was bored with her classy life and being poor seemed more fun to her.
