i agree with that - and that how i feel about a lot of things (ie the titanic :P)

but these days i dont consider it overrated - i just see myself as 'outside the box'
I think it's overrated for me but not for the more easily pleased people who like it. For them it's rated appropriately.

bottom line as i see it.. its an opinion reserved for yourself - not one to project on anyone else.

i find myself saying instead - 'well, a lot of people liked it - but i didnt and here's why : ....'
