The Most Overrated Movies of the Last 20 Years, #SorryNotSorry

What’s your favorite film of the last 20 years? Uh-oh. That one? Yikes. So, here’s some bad news. That film is officially On Blast. And so are a bunch of other films you enjoy. For these are the most overrated movies of the past 20 years. No one is safe. But pass the popcorn anyway.

Zombieland

Sure, there’s an anticipated sequel coming out. And yeah, the cast did that cute #10YearsLaterChallenge.

But how does Zombieland actually hold up 10 years later? In our opinion, not so well. It’s damp with toxic masculinity, bro-y vulgarities disguised with jokes, and a general air of smugness.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

It’s wild how well Three Billboards did at the Oscars. Content-wise, it asks viewers to empathize with a viciously violent and racist human.

Form-wise, it careens from tone to tone with all the nuance of Snorlax smashing the frame in a game of Super Smash Bros. It’s sort of like watching a baseball player take aggressive, home run swings at the plate over and over, falling on his face every time.

The Wolf Of Wall Street

The Wolf Of Wall Street (aka “You Probably Learned The Wrong Lesson From This, Trevor) is a mess. Probably by design. Who are we to discredit the master, Martin Scorsese? Well, here goes anyway.

The shapeless, sloppy, one-note sorta-comedy would make more of an impact if it had dynamics and a more judicious editorial eye. It’s three hours, it could easily be two.

The Tree Of Life

For some, Terrence Malick is the American poet of cinema. For others, he’s pretension personified. The Tree Of Life is a movie custom-designed to annoy those in the latter camp. It’s obtuse, enigmatic, both too big and too small in its purview. But, hey, at least there are CGI dinosaurs. Yep, you read that correctly.
