I like this reply. A lot of people say "No, you're wrong" when you state an opinion, but an opinion is not something that everyone shares, so it can't be right or wrong, but if you feel strongly about it, that's what's important.

Hey our favorite versions high fived about it. It’s squashed lol

I'll give you Mutant Mayhem but I don't think anyone is watching Tales.

FW I feel is more overexposed than overrated. SatAM I agree on and Sonic X is one of those shows I think varies on the mood.

I consider TMNT 2012 overrated, per the subject of the thread, and that's all there is to it. I'm not interested in debating it.

Talk about grasping at straws for power. I mean.... you weren't interested in debating it, but you replied debating the semantics of it.

I've run into this before.... "Nothing you can say will convince me I'm wrong and if you try I won't listen to you". I don't even think anyone was trying to tell you that you were wrong. Take your Xanax, man. And take it before you reply arguing with me too.

Probably would've been a more normalized, well adjusted reply to say "that's cool - it didn't do it for me though." than to include the "nothing you can say will change my mind" savant-level defense. People only say "I'm aren't interested in debating it" when they've been challenged to the core and are on the verge of bugging up. Sometimes it's prescient, but in this case? Way early and way misaligned.

One one had I'm glad I saw it. On the other hand it took me two sittings to get through it. I actually think a 100%-lore embraced Zelda movie would translate better than the world Mario inhabits did. But.... I dunno... it was Mario done correctly so that's cool for anyone who truly loved it.

Hm. I had to pause and give this gem of an observation some consideration for a minute. There's definitely something to that.

[ResidentEvil7]

Here are my overrated movies list:

The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
The Hobbit Trilogy
Forrest Gump
Gladiator
Batman
Superman
Spiderman
Wonder Woman
Armageddon
Barbie
Apollo 13
The Ten Commandments
The Black Panther movies
Titanic

I felt the Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit trilogies were too long and had too much CGI even for their times. The only sword and sorcery fantasy movies I like are the Conan movies and Red Sonja. I put Gladiator on my list and it's because I only liked the second half of the movie when Russell Crowe fights in the battle arena. I didn't quite care of the politics and the winter war during the first half.

I was never into any cape super hero movies or shows. The closest to a super hero movie I like is the original Turtles trilogy.

When it came to movies that takes place in space, I preferred the 6 main Star Wars movies; Spaceballs; Planet Of The Apes series and Deep Impact.

Barbie was too girly and too much sissy pink and feminism. I'm a guy, I don't do pink girly Barbie movies. Oooh, oooh, god!

Hmmm... that's pretty logical, I guess. I think the whole right or wrong thing is what at times bugs me (since when people say something to the effect of "you're wrong" instead of "fair, even if it didn't do it for me" does kind of get me a bit boiled at times), but yeah, you do give me something to think about.

I didn't like these either. Honestly, I always preferred the Ralph Bakshi LOTR movie and the 1981 BBC radio drama over the Jackson movies.

And also, the Raimi Spider-Man movie never did it for me either. They just didn't work for me at all and even back when I was a youngin, it felt like stale milk for me. And honestly, I don't think Raimi was the right person for Spider-Man, his style just felt too grand.

[CyberCubed]

I was never that big a fan of the Lord of the Rings either, granted I didn't see them for the first time till like a decade after they came out so I missed being in the huge fad excitement for them. Then when I saw them I realize most of it was just the main protagonist being useless and Gollum just trying to grab a ring for 3 movies in a row to die in lava. And then some wizard guy fighting some other wizard guy.

[Coola Yagami]

For people saying Mario was too simple I liked the brotherhood themes, the Mario/DK rivalry and Mario learning everything.

I especially like the final scene where Mario was trying to save Luigi as he always does that he was surprised that Luigi was protecting him. Having a brother, those scenes resonated with me.

[Barkworm]

I was never a big fan of Nolan‘s Batman films or just his films in general. Spider-Man 2 also comes to mind. Also Django Unchained, I only watched it once when it came out and thought it was a mess overall.

[Andrew NDB]

Ah, I forgot -- X-Men 2 (AKA "X2: X-Men United"). HUGELY overrated. People acted like it was this amazing breakthrough superhero movie but it wasn't. It was BORING and tiny and lame.

Yup. A whole success built around the immediate reels from a single setpiece where Wolverine impales a guy....

[Barkworm]

I still like X2, probably BECAUSE it feels rather small. It feels more like an episode of a TV show than an ‘epic‘ and that‘s generally something I enjoy instead of making everything bigger, flashier and noisier.

I was waiting for them to deliver big, massive scale mutant fighting like in the comics and even the cartoon. Which X3 finally delivered, albeit a little stupidly, but at least it delivered.

All's good man. I recognised I was being an over-defensive clown and already apologized to 'Nines.

[ToTheNines]

BIG one that I can’t believe I forgot to mention. The Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, especially Spider-Man 2.

They have their moments, but overall those movies are so corny, poorly acted and completely miss the mark of the spirit of the comics.

Yeah weren’t we just talking about this recently? The same type of people that will tell you Incredible Hulk and Thor 2 are bad act like X2 should have received an Oscar lol.

It still sucked. It had a couple cool fight scenes but that’s it. Wolverine’s big reaction to Jean’s death was totally unearned. They barely knew each other.

Yeah, they should have taken advantage of Halle Berry's raised profile in the movie and focused on developing Logan and Storm as a couple. One of the deleted scenes from Days of Future Past revealed they got together eventually, so they should have dealt with establishing that in this one.

Yeah, even back when I was a kid, I just didn't feel these movies were for me.

Like over half the James Bond movies honestly aren't very good.

Most of the Roger Moore ones are pretty bad. Guy sent himself up way too much and never actually played Bond

Sean had about three good ones (FRWL, Thunderball, and YOLT), Brosnan only has Goldeneye, with Craig it's either Casino Royale or Skyfall (and the latter's only because of Judi Dench), i think the best Bonds are Lazenby and Dalton.
