    My list.

    Movies that suffer from (Cool the First Time You Saw It/Cool When You Saw It In Theaters and Now Just "Meh.")

    Gladiator - This used to be shown on HBO at least twice a day. The only reason I would watch this movie now is for the fight scenes. Thanks Youtube.
    300 - Awesome to see in theaters on the mega screen, and was great the first time watching the BD. Now meh.
    Transformers - This barely makes this list. The first time I saw Transformers in theaters I did like it. I think the first one was better than the second... but I have no desire to watch either of them again.
    National Treasure - The first one was really good IMO. The second one just ruined it.

    Movies Others Rave About and I Don't Understand It

    Full Metal Jacket - Boring.
    Star Wars Episode III - I guess compared to the first two this is good...?
    No Country For Old Men - The only good memory I have about this movie was the girl I was with when we watched it.
    Scarface - Meh.
    The Matrix Series - First one ok, the second meh.
    Boondock Saints
    Reservoir Dogs
    Oklahoma State Cowboys 2011 Big XII Champions, 2012 Fiesta Bowl Champions

    NCAA: Oklahoma State Cowboys - Michigan Wolverines
    NFL: Houston Texans
    NBA: Houston Rockets
    MLB: Houston Astros

      At first I thought the same thing about Dark Knight and liked Batman Begins more, but I think I expected too much from all the hype and ended up disappointed. After watching it again much much later, I liked TDK a lot more.

        I liked everything about TDK EXCEPT for that raspy-emphysema Batman voice.

            Completely agree. Some of my favorites are being mentioned, but I'm sure many movies I think are overrated are some other people's favorites.

              After reading some of the movies some of you are throwing out,I wonder what you guys would consider as a great movie.

                  One for me would be Moulin Rouge. My wife and I walked out and got our money back. The lady at the counter said, we've been giving refunds for this all night.

                            Another one I just thought of:

                            Natural Born Killers. Absolutely horrible, but if I remember correctly, it was praised at the time of its release.
                            I love Natural Born Killer however, I'm a fan of Oliver Stone.

                              I like the classics, and some of the newer stuff like "The Blind Side".

                              Overall, though, some of the recent Best Picture winners have been blah lately....

                                What are we basing the overratedness on? Sales? Awards? Some perceived notion of what the majority of people might think? Because there's a lot of different kinds of films being thrown out in here. I saw somebody mention Boondock Saints (which I agree with), but I wouldn't necessarily consider a cult classic as overrated. Then you have blockbusters and award winners too. I think people are just listing movies that think are popular that they don't like - which, IIRC is the same thing that happened in the previous thread of the same topic.
