My pick: The Silence of the Lambs
Literally never got the hype, it’s an aggressively mid movie. Not scary. No deeper message. Just a snoozefest of a movie.
Bonus Pick: The Godfather
Although I did like the movie, I didn’t think it was top tier like its commonly placed. There’s a ton of pro-AmeriKKKan propaganda and undertones in it as well.
Bonus bonus pick: The Matrix
I can see why people enjoyed it, the themes are interesting first time around. I just found the action scenes and Keanu Reeves character incredibly cringy. Kind of ruined it for me.
Alright Hexbear what are the most overrated movies in your opinion? Feel free to call me an uncultured pleb in the comments too.
Hm, very interesting. I saw it when I was much younger so maybe I was less critical of the VC depiction than I would be now.
After reading your comment I found this extremely in-depth article about the making of the film and the controversies which surrounded it and a lot of your criticisms seem to have been made around its release, it was a good read:
