The Top Ten
1 The Animated Series Joker was far better than the Dark Knight one

Truer to the comics, funnier, more expressive, infinitely less generically "edgy" of a character, played by a much more charming and experienced actor, etc

Thank you, he was much more faithful to the comic, and I thought Luke Skywalker did a phenomenal job. I am not the only person with this opinion then

2 Looking at the three most famous Kubrick films: 2001 Space Odyssey was watching-paint-dry levels of boring, Full Metal Jacket was good for its first arc but then turned into complete drivel at the second, and Clockwork Orange was just middling all around

Also, CWO had very much the same stupid problem as FMJ

2001 love or hate
FMJ was good all round for me, but the first was good
haven't seen CO

3 Although it's admittedly a pretty atrocious remake, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory is actually a considerably more entertaining film than its original Willy Wonka counterpart

Michael Jackson Wonka and the obnoxiously one-dimensional and, well, just plain OBNOXIOUS character cast aside (and also the fact that it basically invented blueberry inflation fetishism on Deviantart, but that's an entirely different story for another time)

I personally like the original better, I have seen that on some of my lists, people do admire the movie, it seems to be get a following.

4 The Iron Giant was a better film overall than both of the Incredibles flicks combined and STILL isn't even the actual best animated film (looking over at Japan, that honor would probably go to either Akira or basically any of the top-tier Miyazaki films

Yes, I know what you anime fans are thinking, as in "why, of COURSE the Japanese films are always better because everything made in America is always pretentious, immature garbage", but believe me, I was observing these films under VERY close inspection (and that's WITH Iron Giant being my personal most nostalgic childhood-favorite film, with the original Incredibles being a PAINSTAKINGLY close second)

5 The Room and Troll 2 are both vastly overrated as "so bad it's good" films; honestly, Freddy Got Fingered did a MUCH better job of being that

Whereas pretty much all of the humor in The Room just came from its hilariously bad cinematography, acting and script-writing (and in Troll 2, from much of the same), Freddy Got Fingered quite plainly has it ALL when it comes to being downright hilariously awful.

The stereotypes presented by the film are as wondrously insensitive as can be (autistic man-child who can't get a proper job to save his life and has a father who is a HORRIBLY abusive muscle-headed jerkwad that ALSO acts like a petty and self-aggrandizing little kid, crippled wheelchair woman with an unbearable fetish for getting her own already-broken legs beaten senseless with a giant wooden stick, etc)...
the main character's actor is so astonishingly bad OF an actor that he almost makes Tommy Wiseau from The Room look like a GOOD one by comparison...
the film is a so-called 2000s-era Adam Sandler "satire" that comes across as beyond-pathetically hypocritical because it literally just does all of the exact ...more

Yes, from the looks of it, it seems to be in that category.
But have you seen Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie-that I think I fell off the sofa laughing at just how bad it was.

6 Part 2 was actually the best installment by far of the Back To The Future trilogy

As underrated as it may have been by critics when compared to the other two parts of its trilogy (and also as much of a sloppily-written product placement as the film may have also been in general; cough, totally not blatant foreshadowing for how Ready Player One would eventually turn out roughly three decades later, cough), you simply cannot deny how VERY clearly the main villain, Biff Tannen, was at his absolute best in this film

I like Part 1 better, but people seem to really love Part 1 and 2.

I agree

7 In Pulp Fiction, Jules didn't actually steal the show nearly as much as people say he did; many of the other characters had some pretty notable moments where they were easily just about as funny as he was

EXAMPLES: Honey Bunny going berserk in the film's introduction scene, Vincent arguing with Jules about whether or not it was okay for one of Marcellus' victims to give the man's wife Mia a foot massage, Jimmie's "Dead (African American) Storage" line, Vincent trying to inject the adrenaline needle into Mia's heart, Brett's initial "WHAT?! " reaction to the classic "DOES HE LOOK LIKE A B-WORD" question that Jules asks him during the interrogation scene, Butch's and his wife's respective obsessions with literally butt-shoved pocket watches and fat-chested women, Marcellus getting raped by Zed and his gang in one of the most hilariously disturbing fashions possible, Brett's bodyguard firing wildly at Jules and Vincent with his handgun and somehow missing every single shot, etc

Yes, I do think Butch Coolidge, Mia Wallace and Vincent all were phenomenal characters. But Jules is my personal favourite.

8 Ready Player One is easily the SINGLE most overrated piece of cinematic garbage of its entire decade

Yes, I am well aware that Frozen exists, but at the very least, that film was actually somewhat GOOD (perhaps not for a classic-style Disney film, but on its own merits I really don't see anything TERRIBLY wrong with it), and as for Fifty Shades, God's Not Dead and the like, pretty much everyone with even the SLIGHTEST above-lowest-common-denominator sophistication of film taste utterly DESPISES those films as well, so those don't really count either; you see, the REAL issue I have with Ready Player One is how many people seriously unironically consider it an actually GOOD film, let alone material for the top 5 best movies of 2018. Now, don't me wrong, Avengers Infinity War and Incredibles 2 were both colossally overrated as well, but even so, putting THIS pile of clichéd, corny excrement into the same league of films as those two is just plain INSULTING to them.

Product placement (combined with cloyingly pandering nostalgia fanservice and the like) is essentially nothing ...more

Haven't seen it, people either love it or hate, but most overrated, from what I have seen so far, I would classify it as Moonlight, but it is not garbage for me. For me, it probably is Man of Steel, as most people do not despise it.

9 Terminator 1 is just as good as 2

Basically more of a horror film while the second one is more of an action film (don't get me wrong, the main villain reminds me an AWFUL lot of Metroid Fusion's SAMUS-X in both films, ESPECIALLY the second)

It nearly is, I really love 1, but I still like 2 more

10 Monty Python And The Holy Grail is roughly 10% funny and 90% boring

Gonna be honest, most of this film STANK in my general direction

Have not seen the movie
