Live Poll: Most Overrated Movie of 2019
It is about to end this 2019, it has left us great movies, but since the cinema is subjective we probably found them overrated movies. What do you think was the most overrated movie of this 2019? As much as by the public as by the critics.

'Pain and Glory' is listed twice, though, so please remove one. It couldn't go live with a duplicate listing. I usually abhor unsolicited advice so I try not to give it but here's just a small tip that might make things easier: I usually put my lists in alphabetical order for a few reasons, one of which is that it's almost impossible to have a duplicate listing if the movies are in alphabetical order.
Here are a few suggested edits to the intro: (Edits in bold below)

Everyone thinks Us opens up after its intro and evolves everything set up into some magical mush of greatness, but I think the opening promises something great and quite a few of the "twists" are like taken straight out of a cheap 1970 horror movie.
Joker has some nice performance, but the film is literally being carried by Phoenix. The way he portrays things is great, but not the plot itself. It comes along as a very dry documentary with a logical sequence of things happening and then, in the end, the movie is like: this is how a villain could be born these days... and I'm like: no shit. It's said to be complex and so much more than your average superhero film, but I can't say it's any less by the numbers than e.g. the last Thor movie.
I would never label either of these movies "bad", but both cap at maybe 7/10 for me. I'll still vote for Joker, as Us gave me an interesting world to dive into and was overall, in some ways, very creative. Joker on the other hand is just trivia thrown at you with some acting power and budget to back it up.
The few pieces in this movie one might consider creative and thought enforcing (SPOILER___________
you know, the hallucinations n' stuff__________) are, in my honest opinion, even worse than the trivia itself. You could make an argument that these scenes and resulting interpretations gonna help you understand Arthur even better, but I really think they are just there because hey,everything being a dream is so cool and I've never seen it in any other movie before. It reuses too many elements and implements too many things I'm not even entirely sure why they're there. Hell, I think the entire thing would probably be better if it was not about the Joker but really some random guy. It'd likely make less money because of course it would, but then the outstandingly pointless scenes about Bruce wouldn't be there, and you could actually tell a story which surprises you at some point, instead of a movie where you know many things in advance anyway.2
