Top 10 Most Overrated Iconic Movie Lines

When it comes to classic movie quotes, there is a thin line between iconic and cliche, and this list is devoted to film dialogue that crossed that fragile boundary. Some of these movie lines have become part of pop culture, finding their way into everyday conversation. Yet for all the fame they have garnered, some of them border on being overrated.

With that in mind, here are the ten most overrated lines in movie history, one of which may even show up in the new James Bond film, Skyfall.

10. “Hasta la vista, baby.” – Terminator 2, 1991

Terminator 2 is a great movie, one of the best (entirely unnecessary) sequels ever made and, along with Aliens, one of the best reasons to forgive James Cameron for his two most overlong and overrated films, Titanic and Avatar.

The plot of the film involves Arnold Schwarzenegger’s terminator character being sent back in time to keep ten-year old John Connor (Edward Furlong), who will one day lead humans in a battle against technology, from being murdered by another terminator. The problem? Even though he’s the only hope for the survival of humanity, you spend the whole movie hoping that the bratty little John Connor kid actually does get killed.

He’s just too obnoxious, and nowhere is this more evident than in the scene where he teaches Schwarzenegger’s character how to speak “the way people talk.” Connor tells him to answer questions with “no problemo” and to use retorts like “eat me,” “chill out,” “later dickwad,” and, of course, “hasta la vista, baby,” which was ranked at number 76 on the American Film Institute’s 100 Movie Quotes list.

So, yes, the line is admittedly pretty awesome when Schwarzenegger delivers it right before he shoots the T-1000, but when you remember that the quip originated as part of a ten-year-old punk’s lesson in trash-talking, it losses some of its coolness.

Actually, Kane was not alone when he uttered the famous word. It’s revealed a little later when the reporter interviews the butler who states he was in the room at the time. You just don’t see him.

I can forgive Bond (grandfather clause, and it does still sound classy as balls), Bacall (may sound much subtler today, but still quality innuendo, maybe even better because of the subtlety), seize the day Robin Williams (generally good advice if you are smart about it), & Orson Welles (because he’s Orson f*cking Welles) for the reasons. I want to forgive the Love Story line on being a closet hopeless romantic and backlash against overdone backlash grounds, but even for a relatively idealistic person, that line is ridiculous and kinda shite. The rest can stick it, especially Gump, Titanic, & Terminator. Growing up in the ’90s, their three lines got old real fast.

Of all lines taken from movies, perhaps, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry,” is the most misunderstood. It has been completely taken out of intended meaning. If we truly love someone – who we know truly loves us – and they do something that hurt us… The act of him or her saying, “I’m sorry I hurt you,” is not what the movie line intends in its meaning. Instead, if love really does exist and you are hurt by this person, is there any real way – given love – the the hurtful act was done intentionally and/or with malice? So, say, “I’m sorry,”for the pain of your words or actions. But, real love, you never need to say, “I’m sorry,” for intent or for being the person you are.

T2 Has to be the most Overrated SciFi Film.

I loved it when it came out, and probably the next viewing as well. But I just watched it and there is no originality what so ever to the film. I am very certain that the film is actually Cameron doing a Homage/Parody of Terminator one.

Don’t believe me. Watch both in one night and see that almost every meaningful moment of T1 is redone in T2. And I’m speaking of about 35 direct scene copies here.

This cannot be denied if you watch both and open your eyes(and they are very easy to recognize)

So the film is a unoriginal Copy(which is exactly what Arnold “I’ll Be Back” plays in this movie, A copy of the First T1000(But we also get a T2’000) which is the only difference in the movies.

Ok so then what else is actually lame about it.

The T1 being cute and lovable for starters. Horrible Acting, They disguised Arnold and kept him in the shadows in the first film. Here he plays in the sun with little general and says those dumb one liners over and over again.

So we get a almost exact copy of T1 but with a lovable Terminator to protect little john and a cool T2 with some great action scenes.

Watch it again. You’ll see that that is all there is.
