1. Inception (2010)
With an amazing cast and what seems a good plot I was very excited to see Inception at long last when I watched it late last year. However I was left bitterly disappointed. This is for me, the most overhyped pretentious rubbish I've ever seen. It tries to be 'deep' and succeeds, so much its hard to understand whats going on. That's not always a bad thing, of course, and the protagonists try to explain what is happening throughout but when its for 95% of this drawn out film it is. Inception seems to be so liked because of how 'deep' it is, however I have seen far deeper films in my life and theres a fine line between being deep and being completely unenjoyable. I know film goers are hardly unintelligent but its a victim of itself by trying to be too clever.
2. Rear Window (1954)
I love Hitchcock however this really isn't his best like many people say is. In fact it's one of my least favourite films I've seen from the 50s. The plot itself is quite boring - the premise of observing others and what people do behind closed doors is interesting but there is nothing clever about this film. Murderer gets caught at the end because someone proves he killed someone - wow. Hardly groundbreaking. Don't get me wrong it's not an awful film just very lame compared to Hitchcock's other masterpieces and the love story between James Stewart and Grace Kelly's characters is completely unneeded and takes you away from the plot a bit. It was just very long... so long...
3. Ratatouille (2007)
Ratatouille? One of the best childrens films ever? No. You must be joking. I could name about 50 better than this. An annoying protagonist you can't sympathise with in the form of the rat isn't the best start really. It gets progressively worse as the film goes on, it is literally about a rat learning to cook. There's no moral story to this for children to take home and learn from, it is literally just a story about an annoying rat who wants to be a chef. It doesn't sound that bad, but when its currently regarded as one of the best 200 films ever made on IMDb it's quite shocking. Maybe I just didn't like it because I'm an adult, but I love Despicable Me and Wreck it Ralph so I don't see that as why I don't like it.
