Might’ve been the funniest of the year though?

Films that were acclaimed that are actually rubbish
- Thread starter urban genie
- Start date
Harsh on the Sound of music , lots of things were changed to suit the film , they were married ten years earlier & there were 10 children , it all worked to make one of the best films ever made .Any film that isnt historically accurate. I've no problem showing a story against a historical background but FFS dont change major historical facts...
Pearl Harbor - WTF.
Titanic - Many facts of the sinking are just wrong.
300 - Oh dear.
The Patriot - OMG
Braveheart - Oh fucking dear.
U-571 - possibly the worst movie reinagining of all time.
The Last Samurai - a nice movie but its historical bollox.
Even the otherwise excellent Sound of Music fails to some degree. They went home and simply crossed the railway line outside their house and walked into Italy. If they'd crossed the Alps they'd have gone into Germany.
They actually caught the train to Italy the day before the borders were closed .

Philistine ...... watch in 3D and then come back with your views
Yes, I watched it in 3d.
It's a void of unabated nothingness.
Not for me, buddy.

I can feel my limbs flailing, as the hook in my mouth pulls me to the shores of Clarkie Cove.
That can be the title of your next threadJust because something isn't as good as they made it out to be doesn't mean it was rubbish.

Yeah but the ones mentionaed mainly are
Some of them may not have been great but very few of them could be considered truly rubbish. Most were still good, just overrated. I didn't think Forrest Gump was great, but it wasn't rubbish. Same with The Deer Hunter, Shawshank, Titanic....Yeah but the ones mentionaed mainly are
Truly rubbish films don't get acclaim. You want rubbish go watch Cats, Max Payne, or Lesbian Vampire Killers.

Avatar was a good looking film but it was only fern gully in disguise, after all the hype it got it wasn't up to much.
Taxi Driver gets a mention too, De Niro is brilliant but this film didn't do it for me.

I would put Forrest gump and the deer hunter as as unwatchable or engaging as max payne and LVK, not seem cats.
So yeah rubbish
Well according to you. But some people liked them so they'd say they weren't rubbish. I thought neither was rubbish. I guess we're at a stalemate now.I would put Forrest gump and the deer hunter as as unwatchable or engaging as max payne and LVK, not seem cats.

Both released within a year if each other. Both were called "The funniest British film of the year".
Both were about as funny as the news is, now.
I’ll add Love Actually and Notting Hill to those too. Crap

If you’ve enjoyed a film then surely it’s not rubbish just because somebody else thinks it is?
Like music, there are no right or wrong answers... well, unless it’s Morrissey.
Well obviously but it isn't the we all like different things thread is it? It's which ones that won awards or acclaim do you think are shite.
Okey dokey.Well obviously but it isn't the we all like different things thread is it? It's which ones that won awards or acclaim do you think are shite.

Depending on which side of the coin is facing up, that could be brilliant. Then again...If you’ve enjoyed a film then surely it’s not rubbish just because somebody else thinks it is?

Not having a go btw, just wanted to keep it simple not get convoluted with discussions back and forth on the merrits of a certain film between those that like it or don't ;-)
Well any you think are shite?
