I've just watched 'North by Northwest' for the first time.
A bit overrated don't you think?
A lot of people seem to agree with you on this. At least in my experience. But I really love it and would place it in my top 3 Hitchcock with Rear Window and Strangers on a Train. Just the whole idea of mistaken identities and conspiracy plots and syndicate organizations etc. really entertain me.
I prefer Rear Window, Rope and Dial M for Murder

what more do you want?

Competent antagonists, I suppose.
Vertigo is way better

The "Hitchcock/any Hitchcock movie is overrated" bait usually works better than this, but you gave it a good try.

Yeah. Saying Vertigo is overrated works a lot better. North By Northwest is pretty much perfectly rated because people only ever talk about the scene where the plane chases him.

It's not bait. It's the truth:
>plot gaps are abysmal
>antagonists are retard
>the ending is abrupt
>acting is ok at best
Cinematography is great as usual in Hitchcok but the fil is no more than a 6.
