 Re: Most Overrated Movies of 2017
Get Out will get the black vote unless other black films come out. Spike Lee will certainly vote for it.

 Re: Most Overrated Movies of 2017
Kingsman: The Golden Circle. How it ever scored as high as 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, I'll never know. Although on the plus side, Vaughn's original cut of the film was 3 hours and 40 minutes long - thank goodness for small blessings, because his final cut at 2 hours and 21 minutes already seemed endless.

 Re: Most Overrated Movies of 2017
I don't think It deserves 85% in RT. Its good but I feel its even not close to Conjuring in terms of being an effective horror and the old-school scares.

I have a feeling that Blade Runner 2049 will populate this thread soon. Or, well, it should.

 Re: Most Overrated Movies of 2017
I don't think it will, critics definitely overrated it, but KJ so far has been rather level with it.

 Re: Most Overrated Movies of 2017
Dunkirk. Great camera work and sounds. Some good staging. But the plot is too deliberate it makes the characters secondary to the story. The ending is cheesy too.

 Re: Most Overrated Movies of 2017
I didn't particularly like BR49, but it's too ambitious and too faithful to the original for me to call it overrated.

 Re: Most Overrated Movies of 2017
Are those mutually exclusive? I don't see how something can be ambitious if it's not veering at all from the original. Is it ambitious to make carbon copies?

 Re: Most Overrated Movies of 2017
Although Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is perhaps not the most overrated movie of 2017, it is certainly my personal pick for most disappointing movie of 2017. (Also, I have added Thor: Ragnarok to my overrated list.)

 Re: Most Overrated Movies of 2017
Spider-Man Homecoming - a total joke and insult to Spider-Man. Yet everyone drooled all over it
Get Out - a nice extended Twilight Zone episode but why is everyone going apeshit over it?
Beauty and the Beast- should be in the 30s on RT

It is still far and away better than most studio horror and honestly, to me, it's much better than the Conjuring films. Then again it was instantly a favorite horror film.

 Re: Most Overrated Movies of 2017
Nothing will top Get Out as most overrated movie of 2017, but War for the Planet of the Apes certainly comes in a close second.

But yeah it was nearly awful, huge drop in quality for the series. Wonder Woman fits the bill here. The Post and Shape of Water were both 'good' but disappointing.
