The most overrated Movies/TV series?

[Spiritual Warfare]

What did you all think about the movie Brightburn? I honestly liked it, even though it's going to become a meme.

Who is going to watch the new Joker movie, and do you think it’s going to be better than the first one? Lady Gaga plays the Joker, and I’m not sure if I have good or bad feelings about that.

This is a common thing in most monster movies, even in Alien. The monster is usually super-deadly when facing secondary characters, but becomes less capable when chasing the main character, because you know, the main character is supposed to stay alive, lol.

I get that. I'm not a horror movie fan so I'm definitely biased. With the great reviews it got I was hoping for more I guess. I don't like it when movies sacrifice their own internal logic for the sake of making something more dramatic or emotional. That feels lazy to me and it takes away from or negates the impact. But I'm probably asking too much from a monster movie.

How do I delete the extra quotes? Never mind... it let me delete them when I tried a fifth time?

The best movies are either those that are 100% logical, or those that are completely illogical on purpose.

If a movie tries to be extremely serious and logical, but the characters do stupid decisions and are overly dramatic, etc., it can really put down the whole movie, no matter how realistic it is (cough, cough Nolan... )

1. Anything from Christopher Nolan. Be it Inception, Interstellar, Tenet, etc.
I find most of his films extremely boring and pretentious.

I can imagine @FourCrossedWands's reaction when watching Interstellar

I usually brought a McDonald's to my movie sessions, it was cheaper than popcorn and drink sold in the cinema. So yes, you're mostly right, I was just eating and laughing 🙂

Surprised there's not more Nolan love here, his movies took on a totally new meaning for me after learning about nonduality and metaphysics. If Nolan isn't an awakened person (I don't really know anything about him personally), his films at least act as conduits for those ideas. There's tons of metaphysical resonance in his films:

• The writing's clunky, but in Interstellar he's clearly talking about Love as the ultimate force behind everything. Plus the Tesseract and higher dimensional thinking.
• There's a huge theme in his films, including Interstellar, of our future selves helping us. Obviously Tenet touches that too. 
• Tenet is basically a story of a guy who initially thinks he's a random person being swept up by incomprehensible events, to realizing that he's literally the protagonist of a story he was directing all along, from his subjective future. It's a story of awakening.
• There's a line in Oppenheimer that got me... "It is a new way to understand reality. Einstein's opened the door, now we are peering through. Seeing a world inside our world. A world of energy and paradox that not everyone can accept."

Had to jump back to this thread and see if someone else felt the same.

I just finished watching Interstellar for this first time. I absolutely agree with the whole Love concept.

The reason they went to Mann’s planet  vs. Edmund’s planet initially is because of “scientific data” being there, while Edmund’s planet would be for “love”. Choosing Mann’s planet, and later being wrong about it even with data, means that love should have been the answer from the beginning. 

So much more I could add, but that was one point in the movie I could highlight.

I’ve been really interested in movies for most of my adult life and have watched way too many of them from various decades. No movie experience, and actually no other experiences either, come close to the first two times I watched Interstellar. It was the movie I had been waiting for my entire life.

Sorry to bring up old comments, but I watched Interstellar for the first time just now. 

Very much agree, though I’ve had a few other films give this level of engagement for me too, like “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once” etc. 

It kind of felt like a film any stage of development could enjoy. The things about capital Love being all that matters and stuff could resonate with spiritual people sure, or other higher aspects people mentioned before. I don’t know what resonated with you specifically. For everyday people, they could just simply enjoy the other aspects of it while the higher ones go right over their head, and that’s fine too. It didn’t feel too forced, it’s more about if you understand or not, and if you don’t at least it’s fun to watch. I obviously couldn’t talk about what I really felt about the movie with my rational dad for instance lol, but he enjoyed other general movie aspects too.
