Yes, ET, most over-hyped film I've seen.

xXx - Vin Diesel, Rammstein, Girls, Guns, Car chases and explosions. What we got was hammy acting and weak script - annoying.
Johnny Mnemonic - intriguing, Keanu could do no wrong after Speed. WRONG! Worst, film, ever!

Yeah, the Matrix is awesome and surpassed it's 'hype' by miles!
Well, when I watched The Mummy Returns I thought the Scorpion King bits were damn cool. So off we duly go to see the movie... and oh my god, unclean... unclean...!!!! It couldn't have BEEN much worse and was absolutely nothing like I'd expected. I thought it was gonna be about when he was dead and was actually the scorpion king... not some idiotic romp with a naked chick!
Going down ever lower than that is Scooby Doo. I like Matthew Lillard (I think I've got the name right...?) and Sarah Michelle Gellar, and I bloody love Scooby Doo, so why not, I thought... And at the end it was more like, 'why....? why....?!!!!' My boyfriend has to restrain me from scraping my eyes out. Worst movie ever. Its only saving grace being Lillard's excellent impression of Shaggy.

I quite liked Episode 2 actually. Apart from the awful dialogue in the romance scenes :/
Titanic, Blair Witch Project and Armageddon all had tons of hype when they came out and wasted six hours of my life.

I agree with DrThunder, Die another Day was to action packed.

Haven't seen The Blair Witch Project yet, and I don't intend to. The trailor was good (pretending it's a true story) but after everyone's hype, I really don't think I'm going to like it.
Independance Day - Yuk! I spent the whole time saying about jut how dumb everyone in that flim was... all the aliens and people and everything. I didn't see the end, but ugh!
Die Another Day - Halle Berry is mmm, but apart from that it was way too action packed, and just not as good as the other Brosnan films.
My grand title goes to Lord of the Rings though, not necessarily because it was a bad film. Infact despite the length it was well made and everything, but it was hyped by everyone, and overhyped to death by my friends, so when I eventually saw it I was just left thinking "Why does everyone in the world love this film so much??", and my butt hurt. I think no matter how great LotR was, after the hype I was put through I was never going to like it.

The matrix was For the 90's what, Tron was for the 80's, by the way Tron 2 is coming out, so we'll just see. I really liked The MAtrix, not just because the special effects and action i saw more to it than that. You all dont seem to realise what ive known all along. Its anticipation that kills the experience. And the movie Makers know this, but they dont care. All thats important is gettin as many People into the Cinemas in the Opening weekend as posible. BEcause thats how they measure the success, any profits made afterwards, to them at least, is just an anti-climax. Thats why they hype it up something shocking. I never like to talk to people about movies, since then they'll ruin it for me, im Cinematicaly Celebate, i only ever find out about movies from trailers, the newspaper, and Posters. Theres a massive game of One-up-manship being played and once in a while a movie that did something bold and interesting falls flat on its face, because it doesnt have enough mass market appeal. I must say i love all Jim Carrey (in fact the truman show is on now) films, hes just really funny. And I got really hyped up about independance day, and bought the video the first day it came out. In retrospct, Blockbuster Stole $40 of my money. Piece of filth was just patriotic dribble, much like blackhawk down. I think theres a reason ive never seen independance day on commercial TV. Edit: Wu they used that for Metaphorical effect. Also who knows, youll probably find that out in the next movies, theres probably a war going on, so anything that advanced would be vunerable to attack. I posted a link reagrding that before, but ill post it again The Matrix and Quantum Consciousness
