“Overrated” is what people run to whenever they can’t identify with something that’s well received.


“I don’t like breaking bad, it’s overrated!!”

“The godfather is boring. It’s overrated!!”

“Bad bunny is shattering every live audience record but I don’t like his music. He’s overrated!”


Everything ain’t made for your personal enjoyment brehs. World is bigger than you. You don’t have to slap overrated allegations on everything people love that you for whatever reason don’t.

What the hell is it about this guy that people flock to watch his movies?

Let me be brief.

This man's entire career comes down to two movies. Two.

Aliens (the 1st one only)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day

That's it. At least in terms of GREATNESS.

Everything else he's ever directed has one one big budget overrated piece of shyt after another.

Terminator 1? Yeah it's good. But it's clearly not in that elite tier. Like if you looked at Scorcese's catalog, it wouldn't be Goodfellas. It would be Cape Fear. Like, yeah people have seen it. It's good. But nobody really goes back and gives a shyt. That's what The Terminator is.

Titanic? Avatar? Honestly, I can't understand the big deal. Popular. Insanely profitable. Crap.
I suppose you could make an argument for The Abyss but be honest with yourself. Nobody has watched that movie. If you say you did, you're lying. Or maybe you were forced to by a substitute science teacher in middle school.

There's soul in Avatar? :jbhmm:
I cared for all the main characters in both Avatar films. He’s always been good at getting you to empathize with his characters.

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
People only hate on Terminator 1 because the special effects are dated. It was actually a great film.
I must be out of the loop because I don't think I've heard anyone ever knock T1 down a peg due to the special effects. Is the scene where he fixes his eye very dated? Most definitely. Is T1 still a five-star classic? Absolutely.
