Both dreadful films, not funny and highly overrated

I can see an argument for them being overrated and the humour not being for everyone, but I'd be interested to hear how they're 'dreadful'?  They're both very decent movies at worst.

I guess I tend to overreact to a movie, band, musician etc being overrated (IMO) and default to calling them/it dreadful.

Seconded.

Star Wars films. 9 films within the 'main' story, only 2 were great, 2 were okay, the rest middling to poor to downright shite. 1 great film amongst the spin-offs, then a lot of mediocre stuff and one crap film.

Kind of proves my point!  ;D

I've directed my comment about being overrated to the films as a whole, there's some brilliant individual films in there that do weave into the overall narrative nicely. Also the Star Wars lore, mythos and extended universe has some fantastic parts to it - I've enjoyed plenty of games and books in the Star Wars mythos, some canon, some not, some once. But the main line films, there's more bad ones than brilliant.

I know everyone will disagree, but:

- 'The Dark Knight' (Ledger is brilliant, but it's overstuffed and a bit of a mess to me structurally; there's relatively little of Batman; far prefer almost every other Nolan film)

- 'Diego Maradona' (great access to never before seen stuff, but far from Kapadia's best; never conveyed properly what an incredible footballer Maradona was; Mexico 86 section was limp as fuck for example; overall, far prefer other football documentaries, like Bobby Robson More than a Manager)

As I'm sure has been stated on this thread over and over, saying I think these films are overrated doesn't mean I think they're bad - just that I've never been able to understand how they're so universally lauded. I feel personally like both were praised above what they should have been due to the directors' existing reputations (both of which were deservedly good), rather than being judged solely on the films themselves.

Maradona isn't just about him as a footballer, in fact that's pretty much secondary. It's about him as a man, a flawed genius and an iconoclast, in the historical context in which he lived. It was a great documentary, I'd maybe agree that you need to presume or already know his standing as a player, but people I know who know nothing of football thought it was brilliant.

It was a great documentary, I'd maybe agree that you need to presume or already know his standing as a player, but people I know who know nothing of football thought it was brilliant.

I mean, fair enough, I realise this is probably what most people would say. I just feel though, that even though he was such an iconoclast and that his rise-and-fall story can be told almost like a mafia film, it's still the utter genius of his play that's most important and what makes the rest interesting. Just felt like so much of the football side of it felt surprisingly flat.

I still thought it was pretty good overall, but just felt that it absolutely paled in comparison to something like the same director's 'Senna', which both painted a brillant portrait of a complex, charismatic man, yet was also absolutely thrilling when it came to the sport itself. Just personally feel that the universal ecstatic praise 'Diego Maradona' received was due to a combination of people loving Maradona and a pavlovian response because of what the director had already done, rather than because it actually was an amazing film. But to be fair, I know I'm massively in the minority on this.

Yeah, it's a very good opening. Just wasn't anywhere near as crazy about the rest as seemingly everyone else.

Best thing to come out of Star Wars is The Mandalorian although I can't really comment on the recent movies as I fell asleep during each of them  ;D

Actually, The Mandalorian may be the most overrated of all Star Wars titles. Season two was basically a bland procedural, where one episode felt exactly like the other and completely disjoint. Add to that a boat load of paper-thin, overly cliched characters.

Was very disappointed when I watched it after all the hype.
