These Are the Most Overrated Movies of All Time

Fight Club

Fight Club is one of those movies that people only love because there's a twist ending that basically eliminates all re-watching attempts. If you've seen Fight Club, then you can consider yourself to be a member of the elite group of watchers that know what happens in the twist at the end. Critics have been slamming this movie for decades because of its predictability, machismo, and overall lack of staying power.

Inglourious Basterds

Inglorious Basterds is a Quentin Tarantino movie, which basically means that critics and viewers already have a positive opinion of it before watching. There is a lot of societal pressure to rate Tarantino movies highly, but at the end of the day, critics and viewers had mixed opinions about this one. The public loved it, but a lot of critics bashed the movie for inaccurately depicting historic atrocities for comedic purposes. We're not saying that it's a bad movie, we're just saying that it's overhyped.
