[QUOTE=sam2d2;21343155]Lost is incredibly overrated in my opinion, I watched it twice when everyone was like OH MAN IT'S SO CLEVER YOU JUST DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. I watched it and then was like No I just hate the characters, I don't really care about the characters backstory (which is why I also dislike Stargate Universe) so don't keep telling me every 5 seconds.[/QUOTE]
Lost is quite possibly one of the worst TV series I've ever seen, it's got great production value for sure, but it's terrible. What's worse is the insane fans constantly making excuses for it. I mean come on! You're actually going to argue that it's not trite, terribly convoluted and in dire need of editing or logical closure points? The fucking thing just keeps dragging on, and they just keep adding shit that doesn't even fit as they go.

[QUOTE=MelonGuy;21343437]Children of Men, underrated. Fantastic film.[/QUOTE]
+1
[QUOTE=Dr.C;21333707]Avatar: The Last Airbender is underrated. People look at it and think its a shitty kids anime but it's such an incredible show[/QUOTE]
Couldn't agree more. It has a great story, awesome animation and is actually funny at times. The characters are not just dull "Let's save/destroy the worldHURR" but have actual depth and develop over time.
MXC is one of the best shows I've seen. Underrated because it hasn't been on for people to watch, maybe?
I like Chowder.
How To Train Your Dragon was underrated.
Not in the sense of critics scores, but in the fact that most people over the age of 12 will think it's a retarded "typical Dreamworks" movie.
Empire of the Sun by Steven Spielberg is way underrated.
I think it is one of his best films.
Mr. Bean is pretty overrated. The character sucks.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail also VERY overrated. But then again it IS a cult film. Either way, I think its the most unfunny piece of film I have ever seen.
Twilight is pretty overrated.

Slumdog Millionaire is awesome movie, Danny Boyles movies are always good.
The Shining... overrated...

[QUOTE=pike1337;21343221]Metalocalypse is awesome, but no one watches it.[/QUOTE]
is it anything like Thrash Hits
I watched some stuff from that online it looked awesome
Actually no wait isn't that that thing which created Dethklok or something? The cartoon?
[QUOTE=mikeyt493;21350954]Invader Zim is not overrated it's awesome[/QUOTE]
if you are into 9 year old "lmao random XD" humor
I liked Napoleon dynamite but I wouldn't say it's underrated. I agree on Zombieland, but I thought the Hangover was quite good, not great funny like Hot Rod or Pineapple Express (two other examples of recent comedy films where guys do stupid shit) but it's still alright.
ALSO THE SHINING IS NOT NOT NOT FUCKING FUCK OVERRATED FUCK YOU ITS ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE GREATEST HORROR FILM EVER CREATED SO FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER. CALLING IT BORING JUST SHOWS THAT YOU CANNOT APPRECIATE THE CHARACTER AND PLOT DEVELOPMENT INVLOLVED IN CREATING SUSPENSE AND A SENSE OF DREAD AND FEAR.
there, vented my anger.

You're the one who put Napoleon Dynamite up there.

Avatar is way overrated.
[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;21350934]not a movie[/QUOTE]
Are you talking out of your ass? It is a movie, a pretty damn awesome CGI movie at that.
If that isn't considered a movie then half the stuff in this thread isn't either.
Of course you confused it with the game, but this is the movie.
If I could make a suggestion. Could we put the [i]most[/i] overrated things at the top of the list and in bold? Two of them being The Hangover and The Big Bang Theory.
I have to agree that Monty Python was not funny. Went through the entire movie and laughed maybe once. It sucked you guys just won't admit it. Also Terminator The sarah Conner chronicles was under rated in my opinion. Sucked that it had to end :saddowns:

gonna get some hate for this, but I agree with you about the Sarah Connor chronicles. while alot of it was shit, I though the parts where they questioned the... not sure what to call it, but I guess the "depth of being" of Cameron were interesting and somewhat well done.
A Scanner Darkly.
Am I the only person who thought that movie was cool?
I can say that Avatar is overrated.
Personally, I think memento is underrated. Not sure if it's just me, but no-one around here knows what it is.

Some of the acting did sucked but it had its moments of glory. Not to mention Cameron was pretty good looking.

Watched it a couple of weeks ago, confusing, yet awesome.
The Big Bang Theory is overrated garbage.

I can understand that some don't like Monty Python, as it is a very dark british humour. I found some parts of "the meaning of life" bad as well.
However I think that Monty Python is genious and has yet to be reached again.
Overrated:
Twillight (Jeez, get over it!)
Blair Witch Project
Underrated:
Apocolypto (Because it's so fucking brutal)
Room 1408
Rec (Spanish version of Quarentine)
