It is his opinion of a movie. You should not take it so personally. How about a free mustache ride to come you down?

I hate to say it but I agree with this review. It's the only coen bros movie I've not enjoyed. And I don't really know why.

You really need to talk to a psychiatrist - or you could end up like the murder in the movie. People are allowed to have another opinion. You don't have a right to savagely attack those you don't agree with. That is psychopathic.

John Church, don't call somebody retarded when you yourself can't even tell the difference between you're and your.

Most overrated movie of all time? What about Avatar? Avatar didn't even have a good plot.

I'd go with The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons on that one.

Benjamin Button isn't overrated at all.

You're saying "Crash" was a more apt Best Picture winner??
You must not watch a lot of movies.

hmmmm overrated films, I will disagree this film isn't talked about enough!!! I was really surprised to see that it actually won for best picture given that not even alot of people know this movie exists...

Not even close to the decade's most overrated movie. That easily goes to "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Juno" which are both fine films, just not very good or great.

Joseph Meador

I agree about Slumdog Millionaire, haven't seen Juno.

Man, I don't like Slumdog.

It's good, but definatly not worth the hype. Danny Boyle is a fine director and crafted better movies in my opinion.

Uhm...no.

A review that comes this late and is written this poorly normally doesn't illicit a response from me. But, for you I'll make an exception. This was a great film. Well cast, well directed, hell - even the locations were amazingly well thought out. There is a chance you may have seen a different movie?

Overrated does not make a film bad it just makes the film overrated, and with all the other misinformation the reviewer seems more confused than trying to express a legitimate opinion.

okay you have to admit to yourself as a reviewer that when you dislike a movie that goes on to win best picture you got to think your taste is a bit off.

It aint easy being film critic when you don't likes film, is it?

Your reviews are unreadable. Its clear that you enjoy going against the grain to stir things up. You lose a great deal of credibility when you do this.

Farcical review. Don't even know what you were talking about for the last two paragraphs. And for future reference, anybody who resorts to the "overrated" argument has no argument. A film's alleged "overrating" is purely external and has nothing to do with the film as a piece whatsoever. I'd at least understand if you were cranky because you didn't like the ending but you really don't seem to know what you're saying

I'm not sure what's worse, the overblown,
overarticulated, almost indecipherable review (the dude loves to "hear' himself write obviously..) or some of the silly replies.

"No Country...." is a GREAT film...period. Masterpiece? That's a very subjective issue; I'll let another
"all full of himself' reviewer decide.

What kind of critic uses the term "overrated"? I mean, technically, no such thing exists, there's just movies everyone else likes that you don't.

Joseph Meador

A good critic's judgment of a film needn't take into account what his/her peers are saying. Calling something overrated/underrated is too subjective - it doesn't really tell someone reading your review anything, does it?

agree with this reviewer. not the most overrated movie of the decade, but certainly overrated. its plot is too simple to be considered great and it is much too long. many times throughout this movie i hoped it would end, only to be disappointed.

did you get bored with the lack of CGI? Sometimes movies are able to move without CGI and use only great acting and story to propel it forword. I am certainly happy most people are not as daft as you.
