Overrated = "Endorsed By Idiots!"
There's a few movies in recent memory that a LOT of people liked and the only way I can explain why they liked such pieces of garbage is that they are just not thinking straight. A few "Blockbusters" of recent years, I feel, have definitely been over-appraised. I do think people go into theatres, get "wowed" by lots of cool special effects, and walk out in a confused daze. Of course, I only feel that way because in my opinion these films are bad. So in a certain way, you might say that it's my "opinion" that certain people are idiots. (I'm sort of being funny here........and sort of not!)

Overrated is mostly just one persons opinion. For me, it's when I've heard about a 'classic' horror movie for years before I get around to seeing it. It's hyped as the goriest, sickest, shocking and scary movie ever. Then I watch it and it falls rather short of that mark. Sure, for it's time it may have been these thing, but today....
It's also when people hold up a movie as great and claim to like it because they think they should.

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 : ....' |

in that respect, I wouldn't say the movies were overrated, they just had a built-in audience (as they say) that was going to love them no matter what. a good example of that is the Star Wars prequels. I loved the first prequel the first time I saw it, but it was just because I was so stoked to see a new Star Wars movie. upon repeated viewings, it slowly revealed itself to be terrible (in my opinion).

To me, overrated is just an opinion. If you feel a film has achieved a high status that is undeserved, then you, personally, feel it's overrated.
To me, The Boondock Saints is overrated. I know people who literally have cults around it, and I feel it's a weak movie which had to borrow everything it has going for it from other movies. I, personally, feel it's overrated; or I, personally, don't think it's as great as people say it is.

TV series Lost is held in high regard - or highly rated - yet I find it somewhat insultingly manipulative and desperately contrived.
Its constant atmosphere of strain and suspense (it tries too hard) is well received and trumpeted by many, but I would rate it only average, mildly distracting entertainment.
