Funny how James is almost the opposite of his AVGN character.
I thought I was the only person who thought this.
Except for the moment at 10:06 when a little bit of AVGN comes out in him.

Citizen Kane: "It's about the newspaper business, not something that fascinates me very much". I think it goes a little deeper than that. That's like saying Casablanca was about a nightclub in Morocco. To each their own.
Citizen Kane is not my taste too, but I wouldn't dare calling it overrated. It is one of the very few that critics actually got right lol
I don't think Pulp Fiction should be analyzed that much, it's just a fun movie
It's an obscene movie and that's why I love it.

I also went to film school in the 90s. I saw Pulp Fiction in the theater and thought it was funny, but every male classmate of mine started imitating Tarantino and it got old really fast. I think we’re on the same wavelength as far as all of these movies are concerned.

I agree with most of those. I did enjoy the matrix a little and I love the big lebowski on the sheer absurdity.
It's a bunch of 70's stereotypes mashed together.
It's sad we've gotten to a point where every video like this has to explain what an opinion is and why it shouldn't enrage you.
and yet theres still a few pppl raging and disliking his video haha

@@LordZero666 There is such a thing as being so bad it's good. And sometimes its fun to watch a movie and feel schadenfreude about everyone who was involved in it.
Donnie Darko was great because of the feel, the sound track, the cryptic experience and the frankness of it
"Frankness", I see what you did there.
I liked it growing up, but now I'm of the opinion it's just stylized nonsense that, beyond the disjointed feelings it stirs, means nothing.
Never liked it personally.
@@Chef_Alpo it has meaning
I think this is more teenagers movie than sci-fi. When you grew up you can't catch it again, but you want, but can't.
Pulp Fiction is one of my favorites.. The main reason is there's so many different stories in it but as the movie goes on all of the stories come together.
"Avatar" is on my list of the most over-rated of all time.
100 percent agree
I feel like it’s more hated as time goes on
I enjoyed it and still enjoy it to this day but yes it certainly was over-rated when it came out but over time a lot of people started hating it

This is why I love James. Explaining to assholes everywhere that one man's opinion isn't law.
If only everyone was as kind to him on the James & Mike Mondays videos.
True but not all opinions are created equal!
Some people just know nothing about the subject they are discussing!
stanley13579 o
Some people have quite a bit of difficulty understanding that their individual opinion does not = fact. Opinions are subjective, not objective.
Jakob Rodriguez There has never been a more accurate statement. Please...take this like
I have to agree about “A Christmas Story”. I didn’t see it until much later, but when I did, I thought it was decent, but definitely not worthy of a 24-hour marathon.
The Godfather Part 2 took me a while to love. But I think it's simply because I watched it too early. Now it's my favourite film.
Ir's epic and amazing, but in my opinion not even competitive with the original.

No way, mE! I watched the video, too!

And he likes to colllect it!

James, I love the fact that you didn't use the word "overrated". Massive respects, man.
nananana FAREZ I agree. That fucking word is so abused nowadays.
Indeed my friend...
Anime is Trash honestly that word is overrated 😂
Anime is Trash overrated is indeed abused they always associate it with oh it sucks or its just bad
The word “underrated” is OVERRATED!
I feel the same for "The Batman" starring Robert Pattinson
I always thought The Dark Knight was overrated
I agree with both of y’all. I’d rather play a Batman videogame than watch the movies tbh.
Everyone has popular movies that they just don’t get or don’t like as much as anyone else. That can also apply to music, TV, and a lot of other things.

@@GrimReaper4383 neither did I
he is right about it and most movies of the list though
I agree with him honestly. It’s a good movie and I respect it’s legacy and what it did for cinema, but it’s not a movie I’d put in my top 10. Probably not even top 20 lol
Citizen Kane to cinema is kinda like what Rakim is to hip hop music. Highly influential and pioneered techniques of the art form, but not necessarily the GOAT.
"For me, it's refreshing to hear an opinion that is different from my own." James showing himself to be the exact opposite of what the internet and culture is in 2017. Good for you James, hearing alternate opinions and ideas will make all of us better. The echo chambers we create for ourselves are doing so much harm!
The man's too civilized for these internet wilds.
2018 lol
Panzer Shafter not 2018 yet bucko
Jake Hawney Totally agree. Often I've been told to "chill" or "relax" when all I did was express an opinion contrary to the "accepted" popular one and wasn't upset/angry. People on the internet these days tend to think just because you don't line up with their view of what you should express, you're about to blow a gasket, which would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.
Joel Baldwin Welcome to YT.
I catch something new with every viewing of Big Lebowski, whether it's from a comment in the background or another subtle plot device that is easily missed. It's not the greatest film ever made, but it is hilarious and gets funnier with each viewing and new discovery
The Matrix for me was groundbreaking story-wise. Saw it as a senior in H.S. at the theaters. But hasn’t aged well in all areas. Pretty much agree with your entire list…except for the Big Lebowski. I put certain movies into my “sleepy movie” category. These are movies that I’ve seen a million times, have likable characters, the themes never get too crazy, and has a sound mix that is very easy on the ears. Basically movies that I can put on and fall asleep to. I put The Shining in the same category. Even though it’s a classic horror with some genuinely terrifying scenes, something about the sound mix and the setting of the Overlook puts me at ease. Maybe I’m some kind of psychopath.
Anyways, great video as always!
Isn't the matrix just tron really?
You should do a video about the opposite of this one: movies you like that the majority of other people don't
skatingsam96 that list would be long
it's called monster madness, 10 seasons of it. With his own movie as a cherry on top.
king kung fu
ricky 1
all godzilla movie
I think he means movies that are well known, but receive unfavorable reviews in general. And not limited to the horror genre as with Monster Madness.
I think I'm from another dimension, because I thought Ashton Kutcher was a good Steve Jobs
This was a very respectful review. It’s refreshing to watch something calm and thoughtful.
4:38 Well from time to time 😂
I think he kind of has a Jekyll and Hyde thing going on where he uses the nerd persona to bring out all of his rage so he could be extremely calm and thoughtful in his movie reviews as James. What's interesting is that also connects to this is that nerd's least favorite game is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on the NES
At least he respectfully disagrees instead of yelling that the movies suck
This is him being him, he usually is in character.
This is ASSS, ASS... Diarrhoea Ass and down it with beer!
It just makes you realise that some movies just do something to grab a large audience and its out of the film makers hands sometimes
Who else here enjoys hearing Mr Rolfe talk about his movie opinions.
I just realized that James is actaully a chill person when hes not in "nerd mode"
took long enough.
AAAAAAASSSSSSSS
Bloodletter8 YES
Yea he's almost the opposite of his characters. You can definitely tell her didn't want to become the nerd. It's the reason I respect him a lot of people lose themselves to their characters.

movies I agree with him : titanic, dark knight, godfather 2, christmas story, donnie darko, citizen kane
Basically agree with all except Dark knight and maybe I'd swap six sense with Unbreakable.
I don't praise Pulp Fiction as the "The Best Film of All Time", but I certainly think it is Quintin Tarintino's magnum opus.
"Upon Upon A Time In Hollywood" gets a close 2nd I think.
@@johnsampson6387 I can agree with that.
I liked Django and Desperado better but I'm a fan of westerns.
@@legrandgougoulilumine6940 Desperado wasn't directed by Tarantino. It was directed by Robert Rodriguez.
I agree with everything except for A Christmas Story. Jean Sheppard's narration and Peter Billingsly's performance, to me, are perfect.
James, you give concrete reasons for why you do not like or love a film. But, in doing so, you never look down on those of us who love those films. I fully respect your critiques as a result.
I see Pulp Fiction as a time capsule movie. All of the actors in it are at the prime of their careers and the way they play off of each other is what makes the movie good for me.
ffgiza it really is the chemistry between the characters that makes it, as James put it, "special." in my opinion, even a more technically proficient film looks amateur by comparison because, well, Pulp Fiction was handled by, performed by, and executed by professionals in their prime on every front.
Everyone except Samuel L Jackson he is still good
Travolta wasn't on his prime there. Most Tarantino movies are acted with actors who are almost forgotten
It wouldn't be a very good time capsule in most respects. It hardly reflects on the 90's at all, except in the ways Tarantino would influence it.
I agree with you on Citizen Kane. I have the utmost respect for the acting, cinematography, and the amazing feat accomplished by then-24 year old Orson Welles in making this film. I am a HUGE old movie buff, so people who know me automatically assume I LOVE CK. They are shocked to find out I don’t. Out of Welles oeuvre, I much prefer The Magnificent Ambersons (even though that was butchered during editing).
Ahhhhh..not the big lebowski..brilliant movie..but.. everyone is different
Sad times, when dude needs to do a disclaimer, that's like 15% of his video, before talking about his opiniom
that's why I always say fuck the disclaimers I'm one of those people I don't really give a shit I just give my opinion and call it a day and a people don't like it I'll leave their debate them or I'll be like okay bye.
Don’t call him the dude he might be offended

Eh, I think I got high watching Big Lebowski. But dark humor can be a pretty harsh thing while stoned, especially as you gradually sober. Sober or stoned, it's good but overrated.
Lol
@@michaelf9664 I think you're just a n00b hehe
100%
I agree with every film you mentioned apart from Pulp Fiction. So I will give your upload a 9 out of 10. :)
Of course… thanks for proving my point that Pulp Fiction is the most overrated movie ever
Its actually ironic for me. The Big Lebowski was on this list and I had never watched it before when this video came out, and now it is far and away my favorite movie. Thank you for showing it to me even though you don't enjoy it as much!
I think that may be another purpose of James’ video. I get a sense that he’s also saying, “I may not love these movies but if you’ve never seen them, give them a shot and you may get a better experience.”
That's just like your opinion man...
Bozhidar Kolarov yeah and that's your favorite rug man!!
I searched for this comment. Sure enough, it is here.
Bozhidar Kolarov just like how people liking movies are.... Opinions.
I would like the big lebowski better if people didnt praise it as the best movie of all time, fans of the movie seem caustic in nature and are beyond defensive of it, like my opinion man... is like that his rug is overrated
You said it man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.
Don't really care which films appear. I'm just interested in his reasons why, he always explains his points really well
Stephen Quinn True It's why I love watching his reviews like the Monster Madness or random reviews. Some of those movies I could careless, but he always gets me interested. Heck it's why I love You know what's bullshit.
To be honest, he just says smth like "I can't see what's so special about it, there are so many criminal dramas (sci-fi films, whatever) out there that are so much better". Still, it's more rational than 95% of UA-camrs, so I don't feel angry or anything.
Since they all amount to "I don't get it" you may have come for the wrong tea on this one.
The ones that I disagree with the most were probably Citizen Kane, The Matrix, The Godfather Part II, Pulp Fiction and Donnie Darko. That said, James is so respectful and earnest that I can’t be mad at him. It’s just opinions after all. And hey, I’m with him on The Sixth Sense and The Dark Knight.
Jesus man, calm down.
I watched the Xmas story every Xmas growing up. It's not Xmas w/out it. Its mostly about nostalgia for me.
Christmas
@baruckhb - re: "Xmas" = 1. Too much trouble to spell out Christmas? 2. Do you say "Merry Exmas" to people around December 25th? 3. Ehhh?
I always thought A Christmas Story was always a television movie because the only time I ever saw it was on television.
I had never heard of it until around 15 years ago, when it was somehow a "classic" that "everybody has seen". IMO the setting and filming make it seem more "classic" than it is. Is it worth watching though? absolutely.
A yearly tradition.
@@travis1240 It's like "It's A Wonderful Life" where TV stations just insisted on spamming it that everyone just kinda...accepted that it's a film that exists.
I saw it in a nearly empty theater at the South Hills Mall in Poughkeepsie, NY in 1983.
As long as M. Night Shamalan keeps making movies, the Sixth Sense will always be around. Cause every trailer for his new movies has to note that he made that movie.
Because they're sadly not gonna say "from the director of The Happening and Lady in the Water"
@@aidanredding8058 "from the director of The Last Airbender and After Earth"
Osment is far better as an adult actor in comedy sci-fi than as a child actor -- though I did like Speilberg's AI a lot. That is a great movie.
What's funny is that M Night got the idea for that movie from an episode of the Nickelodeon show, Are You Afraid of the Dark?
And then came SPLIT
Surprised how similar our lists are, I almost flat out agree with everything here, especially Donnie Darko.
Only place we differ is Big Lebowski, but “that’s just like your opinion man”. Lol
wish I had a friend like this guy to talk movies with. Be fun having a conversation about movies with so much passion and knowledge where I've almost none in comparison.
That's funny.
Get over here quick, I need a knee to slap.
The Big Lebowski really tied this list together.
Well that’s just your opinion man
Obviously, you're not a golfer.
You're out of your element.
The carpet really tied the room together
Did it not?
I like how James has to do abunch of damage control at the start because LOL THE INTERNET.
James doesn't want Patton Oswalt or Dane Cook flipping out on Twitter again simply because they don't get why people respect his opinion
what'd you expect? It's youtube.
... and then spend about half of each movie comment with that. And I think quite unnecessarily... Those who cannot accept that what they love may not be so special for another guy, won't say "OK, I get that, point taken." And those who do understand that a movie's value and entertainment value varies viewer by viewer, already get that without James having to point it out - let alone so many times and at such length it takes about half of this video.
Marshal Mathers Patton Oswalt has probably drowned in his own rabid froth and I give Dane Cook six months before he notices.
Also what is IPA beer? Is it imported? Or what?
Reservoir Dogs is Quentin Tarantino’s most underrated work.
In the case of Tarantino films it’s one of his most liked.
I hadn't seen Citizen Kane before and bought it on dvd. There was a second disc included that had a documentary about the major conflict between Wells and William Randolph Hurst. I liked it so much better than the actual film.
Can there be 2 follow up videos;
- Movies You Love That Everyone Hates
-Movies That You Did Enjoy After More Viewings.
That would be awesome.
Movies he loves everyone hates AKA his normal reviews.
@@gr33nsl33v3s a summarized list would be a good idea though. If that doesn't exist.
Here's a movie I love that everyone hates: The Stupids. It's dumb but hilarious and I'll die on that hill.
"I never try to piss anyone off" - that's why I love you James.
Sadly many seem to miss his intentions...
Omar Flashback to Ghostbusters 2016.
James is Awesome.
Exactly what I thought.
For me Donnie Darko got a bump for it's great soundtrack. You can say the same for Pulp Fiction and Big Lebowski.
I could watch a TV show of James just talking about movies.
The deeper meaning in The Dark Knight is that we live in a society
Also society sucks. all of em.
Gamers rise up
Wow, if wasn't for that comment, I would never know about that...
Calm down, George Cantstandya
Its not that deep homie, and its not the best batman either
James is being so respectfull and properly taking the time to explain himself, and yet this is the video he makes where people are still disliking it. No other video has such a Dislike ratio
People personally feel attacked when someone doesn't like something that they themselves do. 🤷
Not anymore
It’s expected though 🙂
@@nimnone which of the movies that were discussed in this video is your favourite? 🎤
@@JoaoMartins-pd7nl 1. Pulp Fiction 2. Dark Night 3. The Matrix
I'm right there with you on Donnie Darko. What a really confusing flick, and the whole "It's awesome!" cacaphony from those around me about how great it was always confused me even more.
I guess it didn't click with you as much as with others, myself included bc its one of my fav movies and one where I understand the main character the most
I just don't understand how someone wouldn't like titanic for the epic story perfectly done that it is
The best plot twist in this video is that James is italian....
Especially since his last name sounds more of German decent or something.
Agreed. Haha I was like huh?! Italian. I did not know that.
nintendo Granfan lol yeah I didn't see that coming. He's so white in every way.
Fog wtf do you mean with: he is so white?
I'd watch what you say about him because he could be connected...
Hype ruins movies. I️ try to ignore the hype and go into a movie knowing as little about it as possible.
Karnage Fails I agree, that's why I don't look at my UA-cam a week before a game is released so it isn't spoiled for me.
TFA perfect example...
Well, it didn't help him with Donnie Darko...
I think The Grey is a good example of this. The trailers really made it out to be Liam Neeson kickin' some timber wolf ass. Whereas in the movie you never see any real wolf fight. I like it and own it but I never saw any hype trailers either.
I look online and see reviews and opinions that it's horrible. But I know people don't go out of there way to praise movies online when they enjoy them versus how they will when they bash them.
Luke Milbocker I was hyped with the teaser trailer, but then ignored every other trailer for that film and even avoided the Internet as a whole days before the premiere to have as little expectation as possible, but, in the end, I was utterly disappointed anyways cause they badly ripped off the original Star Wars movie and made dumb decisions along the way, sadly.
Hey James. I really like this video of yours, and I agree with everything you say. Though I personally enjoy The Matrix and Titanic, I can see the obvious flaws in them and get why you don't like them that much, because at times I myself don't either, but I just choose to bear the flaws and appreciate them for what they achieved.
Tbh, it's a bit surprising that you did not mention any Tarkovsky movie, lol. Not sure if you enjoy them or it's just because they don't fall under the popular film category.
The one movie that I never understood was Risky Business. People consider it Tom Cruise’s breakout movie but I consider Top Gun (which came out a couple years later) to be his breakout movie. And the plot of the movie is also really weird.
The amount of disclaimers that James had to regurgitate at the beginning is testament to what is wrong with much of the internet.
Yeah, it became a massive hugbox full of hysterical people that doesn't like different opinions and ideas from the majority.
I missed the old days when people used to be cool about others being and thinking different than the rest, it was kind of its original purpose.
I imagine close-mindedness is just as prevalent outside of the internet too.
Losba But it's rarely presented the same outside of the internet. In person most close minded people don't automatically resort to name calling and figurative shit throwing if you don't agree with them.
Losba I'm sure it's just as prevalent, but people are usually much less confrontational IRL because there's more consequences talking face to face vs being just another rando screaming on the internet. It takes too much time/effort for most to track down who the person actually is, so most people abuse the perceived sense of anonymity, not caring about their reputation
I was just about to write the same thing but you beat me to it! Haha

I find your comment shallow and pedantic
The idea of the Matrix is what makes it great. It's like philosophy for everyone. Expanding on the world too much in the follow up movies kinda took the focus of this idea.
The philosophy in the sequels is fantastic, but you're right the world building muddied it too much to be easily digestible. Watching the sequels with the "philosophy of" commentary turned on was wonderful though
IMO, Animatrix is light years better and ties the world together
@@Hyperbolic_G "Cookies need love like everything does"
Exactly. The Matrix bullet slow mo is not just a special effect, it literally represents the Matrix and what the character is living in. It allows the viewer to be "in the Matrix" itself. This is one of the reasons the parodies are so funny ... they aren't in the Matrix.
It made dumb people feel smart.
I agree about the Titanic. Like most stuff James Cameron did, Titanic is really more about visuals. The story really comes second to that.
Terminator, Aliens, and Terminator 2 are opposite to other films of his since I enjoyed the story in all three of the films.
You pretty much just described Avatar 1 & 2, both directed by Cameron as well.
‘What about the themes in Star Wars?’
Oh boy, here we go…
Out of curiosity James, what are some films you personally like that everyone else doesn't like? Maybe do this for a video?
The Man With No Name the list would be too long.
I can tell you three films I like that other people hate, Star War - Episode 1; Star Wars - Episode 2; and Star Wars = Episode 3.
The Man With No Name now that's a great idea for a followup video.
A long time ago he made a list of sequels he thinks are better than most people say. It included stuff like Ghostbusters II and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
I approve this idea.
If I made this list, Avatar would've been #1 on the list. Fight me.
*ROUND 1*
I don't think anyone really cares about that movie anymore. Sure the visuals were amazing for its time, but that's the only thing it really had going for it. Everything else about it was incredibly dull and generic. It was little more than a long tech demo that showcased how far VFX have come.
It lived and died by hype. Visuals aren't enough for a movie to be placed among the greatest movies *of all time*, when the technologies used to make them become obsolete so quickly
@@Darticus42 see...thatndoest really make sense. I mean..the reason it's considered the greatest of all times is for the reason that you stated..in it's time it was awesome.
Of course people found things better as time went along...but those movies mostly have duplicates. Other movies that incorporates the same ideas within the same time.
Matrix came with a plot and visuals that were great and no one else did it that way.
Like...the ps1 is considered the greatest console of all time...even though ps2, 3 and Xbox 360 and one does what it did and better. That doesn't take away from the fact that in its time it was innovative, creative, unique. All that earned it it's title. And people..like me who honestly thought we could never get anything better than the quality that ps1 games got....i don't even play those games much anymore. I play them...but I can admit that we have better quality now. That I may play them in passing and from nostalgia...but...i .ca enjoy it for...the time it was created. A time when it was the greatest.
There are boxers who could beat Ali today. And there are dancers who can outdance Michael Jackson and basketball players who can probably break down Jordan, but we still call those people the greatest. That's because in their time...they were. And they brought something then that no one saw before. A quality that was innovative, new, or unique. And everything afterwards seems to be built upon their ideas. And so...maybe if it weren't for them...we wouldn't have the quality of games, movies, fighters, players, etc...today.
You need to understand what makes something the greatest of all time. It's found in the concept.
I dont hear anybody talk about Avatar anymore.
The movie or the tv show
Love this guy. It would be so cool to hang out and play some games or watch old movies or jam.
Agreed
Your aggression towards The Big Lebowski will not stand, man!
I wasn't all that impressed with Avatar. I don't get why it got THAT big.
I'm pretty sure people forgot about the movie. I never see anyone say OMG AVATAR IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!
@@demolitiongod64 it grossed over 2.7 billion dollars, I think people loved the movie
@@jamesisaac7684 I mean now. How often do you see avatar talked about NOW.
Demolitionboy 64 that’s a excellent point actually
Honestly the only character I can name on that movie is Jason Spade. Other than that, most people have trouble even naming one character from that movie and don’t remember anything about it except blue people.
“I like the parts with the joker” I have some good news for you
Jason O'donnell
What’s the news
You wouldn’t get it
@@jasonodonnell6444 That's Life
Heath Ledger > Joaquin Phoenix
@@jasonodonnell6444 How about another joke Mur-RAY?
Titanic and Matrix, you kinda had to be there, and be captured up in the hype. Both of these blew my mind as a young teenager. It's the same as showing a 1970s Scifi(Starwars) to my 2012 kid, won't impress him.
Gotta say I loved the soundtrack on The Big Lebowski
One of the most genuine UA-cam channels. He's never changed and I doubt he will. I've been here from the beginning and I'll be here in the end.
Tyler Bateman Same here man. One of the most humble and genuine UA-camrs out there.
That's what you call dedication. Go on, son!
Same
Agree. Sincere and authentic guy.
Way better than current shits that are roaming YT like RiceGum, Paul Bros,KSI etc etc
The best movie of all time is clearly Cobra with Sylvester Stallone.
It sure is underrated... Marion.
"You're the disease...and I'm the cure." *Fires gun - BLAM!!!
The peak of 1980's fine cinema, if you ask me.
Glorious!! Well done!!
Hmmm the room is better
WRONG!!!!!
It's clearly commando is the best movie of all time! :P
Jingle all the way still to this day is my favourite Christmas movie
I kinda agree with you on all of these, even the ones I like more like Donnie Darko and Pulp Fiction i still totally get why you feel the way you do
I draw the line at the big Lebowski tho, I absolutely respect that it wasn't for you but the movie is infinitely rewatchable imo, so many great scenes and lines, it's an entire mood in itself, I really love it, maybe it's just for a certain kind of person
