"The Usual Suspects" is an overrated movie that is boosted by a twist that isn't even that great

[nieman]

While the twist in Usual Suspects does elevate the movie, it's made great by its characters. Name one forgettable or wack character.

Memento is one of the most overrated movies of all time IMO. People that put it over The Prestige when talking Nolan films disgust me

Literally one of the most overrated movies of all time, an average feature that is propped because of a good cast (Spacey, Baldwin, etc.) and a trick twist.

First of all, I think trick twists (ones that fool the audience dishonestly, a.k.a ones that do not deceive the audience by presenting all the evidence in a sly way but rather trick the audience with a dishonest narrator) are basically lazy. Verbal Kint is just a dishonest narrator more than anything

Second of all, poorly written with poorly developed characterization. Basically plays like a primitive 1930s crime caper

Such an overrated movie that is somehow talked about with the greats because of a twist that isnt even that good. One of the most overrated films I've ever seen

If I see you or any of your friends before then, Miss. Finneran will find herself the victim of a most gruesome violation before she dies. As will your father, Mr. Hockney. and your Uncle Randall in Arizona, Mr. Kint. I might only castrate Mr. McManus's nephew, David. Do I make myself clear?

I watched it many years ago, but still many years after its release. Didn't care for it and not something I plan on revisiting.

Memento was a good movie with a good gimmick. The Prestige is a masterpiece
