The Most Overrated Film of All Time

Rating: 4/10 (25 March 2007)

With Scarface, The Untouchables is the most overrated film of all time. I guess Ennio Morricone's musical score, Sean Connery's performance as Jimmy Malone, Murruhm's photography, and Robert De Niro's performance as Al Capone are absolutely great and the costumes are good but, let's face it, what else? Kevin Costner's performance as Eliot Ness is not only bad but it is possibly the most annoying performance of all time. I am not even exaggerating. It is nothing but a shoot-'em-up film. The characters are simple and there is the maddening American theory of good and bad throughout the whole thing. It has aged a lot. Perhaps not as much as Scarface but still... It also features a horrible screenplay. It is unbelievably corny and cartoon most of the time.
