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.

i think to really get the matrix you had to have been a teenager in 1999.

a lot of the matrix just feels corny now due it being memed and copied to death

After the big reveal, the movie loses steam and gets super boring

Is this a joke thing I don't get? I don't think of the Matrix as having a 'big reveal'.

[–] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

the whole "neo is actually in the future and all of the reality he's known is an elaborate simulation" doesn't stand out as a reveal?

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The explanation of what the Matrix is? I know it's shocking, but there are indeed people who haven't seen the movie or clocked the computer simulation pop culture memes about it

And in 1999 the reveal was even more impactful

Ah, fair enough, you're right, just me being sillly. I think my brain just doesn't think of a 'big reveal' being so early in a film.
