Most overrated movie ever?

The entire movie was nothing more than a fabrication. 80% of it's never happened. A good twist should enable the viewer to look back at all of the scenes in the movie and put them together in order to make sense. But in this case, none of it happens, therefore the entire movie is pointless! And it makes absolutely no logical sense why kaiser Sozay chooses to appear at a police station of all places, being that he supposedly goes through such incredible lengths never to be seen? Basically, the entire movie is nothing more than a made-up lie, he could have told any story that he wanted to, and just because he was able to make up a far-fetched story with the help of pulling names off of bulletin board doesn't make it's a great twist of an ending, it makes it's a stupid poorly acted subpar pointless movie.

Because Verbal Kint is a real man, and Kaiser Soze is a myth that Verbal is exploiting. Whether Kaiser Soze is Kint, Kobayashi, or Keaton, its all about doing things without getting caught, and letting the myth, Soze, take all the blame. Or the "real" Kaiser Soze is none of those guys, and he was smart enough never to get fingerprinted in a police station.

Do not agree with you. It's a brilliant movie.

I rated it 1 out of 10. It was goddamn boring and the idea for the film was totally uninterested!

There's something wrong with Esther.

The idea was uninterested? Ideas cannot have interests.

I haven't read all of the responses your question has generated so will probably repeat some points made by others. I've seen that posts with a bad attitude like yours always stir emotions, as they're designed to do, because who comes to a place like this to discuss movies they don't already like except troublemakers?

I think what you don't like about the movie is that it makes you think, makes you figure stuff out and you'd just rather be critical instead of constructive. It's laughable when people like you take a stand against great accomplishments in the arts as if all those who are actually learned are simply mistaken, mislead morons. :-D One of the main reasons I come to this board, which I've only just recently started to do, is becoming to find the trolls and flamers for a good laugh.
