i dont think there is such a thing as 'overrated'

if tons of people like it - then its rated appropriately as to how they saw it....despite how you personally feel about it.

if you think its shit - then you think its shit.
doesnt mean everyone else is wrong. how can someone be wrong about liking or not liking a movie ??


I guess i used to that phrase in the past as well, but given a bit of reflection .. it just doesnt make sense.
I guess its never too late to gather a bit more wisdom.
When I use the word "overrated", I don't mean to think of everybody else's opinion as shit. I mean that I don't see where people are coming from in the liking of that particular film. I can see where you're coming from urgeok,a nd I may try to tone down on my use of the word "overrated".
