so what you meant to say was : you personally didnt see in it what many other people did ..
not that it was overrated ...
i think some things earn the title of 'overrated when they are adored by people who arent knowledgeable to form a proper opinion because they dont have enough history of experience to base their own opinions on.
i'll use The Tiranic for that ...
the great unwashed flocked to this film because they were told to .. by shows on the level of 'entertainment tonight' (owned by the same studios that make the films)
most serious film critics that actually studied film, understand it ... watch LOTS of it .. saw Titanic for the bloated corn filled stool that it was.
but you could still apply my origional point of view to this - because it is subjective - and if you like something - then you like it.
i will say that my tastes have changed in time .. due to exposure, maturing, the gathering of far more information, experience, and understanding than i had than when i was a youngster ...
so i'm now basing my likes and dislikes (conciously or subconciously) on more refined criteria.
i'll probably have different opinions again 20 years from now .. things i think are genious now may be unwatchable then.
(bifocals or not :)
