Overated Films (dance, American, classic, quote, 90s)

to put things straight, Gladiator is a good film, but not that good...maybe 6/10

not ridley scott's best film, not even close really, and russell crowe, had better moments in his career.

6/10? You can't be serious... 7 at the very least!

Abel Ferrara made a film entitled Gladiator which was basically a Duel rip off and then Rowdy Herrington made this rocky for teens circa 1992:

That film was absolutely dreadful.

If you're gonna have a fight scene in a movie, for the love of god, don't put Brian Dennehy in it.

I think you just made me want to see the movie.

Gladiator is ace. Great cheesy fun.

How many times will we have to go through another Saw movie. I liked the first, stuck till the end of the 2nd, and fell asleep halfway through the 3rd. Every body still goes ape-shi1 when a new one is released.

In conclusion Saw 1 the most overrated because it has inspired so many terrible sequels

I know I'm going to step on toes with this one, but somebody has to say it.

Slumdog Millionaire

It started out great and got exponentially worse as it neared the end. From the "must-have" love story to the ridiculous dance number at the end, this film blew its load pretty quick. I did like the subtlety of the love story until it fully conquered the movie. There are a few noteworthy scenes, but I'm sure they've been noted in the Top Films or Last Seen thread.
