Overrated!: 17 movies that I found bloated, pretentious, simply overrated and/or outright bad, yet received critical acclaim. (In no particular order)

1. Les Miserables (Tom Hooper, 2012)
2. Frozen (Chris Buck, 2013)
3. Liar Liar (Tom Shadyac, 1997)
4. An American Werewolf in London (John Landis, 1981)
5. Henry V (Kenneth Branagh, 1989)
6. The Road (John Hillcoat, 2009)
7. Dangerous Liaisons (Stephen Frears, 1988)
8. Boyhood (Richard Linklater, 2014)
9. All Quiet on the Western Front (Lewis Milestone, 1930)
10. Inside Out (Pete Docter, 2015)
11. Amélie (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 2001)
12. Flirting With Disaster (David O. Russell, 1996)
13. Black Robe (Bruce Beresford, 1991)
14. Lincoln (Steven Spielberg, 2012)
15. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (Matt Reeves, 2014)
16. Gravity (Alfonso Cuarón, 2013)-- I hate this movie. It's a special effects show and nothing more. It has next to no plot, dialogue, or even writing. A very small, disingenuous effort at conveying emotion is made by referencing Sandra Bullock's character's daughter left back on Earth, and even that is forced. It is an amazing visual spectacle, but other than that, it is an empty carapace of a movie.
