Re: Most Overrated film you've ever seen.
I was really disappointed with The Dark Knight because everyone I'd spoken to about it raved about how it was the best thing in the history of ever, but I didn't think it was that great. It was good enough, and it had its moments (I loved the bit with the two boats), but it wasn't as fantastic as everyone had made it out to be.
I also don't think The Godfather's anywhere near as good as everyone seems to think it is (it's no.1 or 2 ever according to imdb), but I was very tired when I watched it and kept mixing the characters up, which probably didn't help.
(also, if this turns into a thread of nothing but HSM-bashing I'll cry, I swear)

Hrm... Well, I think Bee Movie and Chicken Little were really overhyped with merchandise (Chicken Little tissue boxes? Seriously?), but I guess that's not the same as "overrated". So...
In before everyone who says, "Twilight!"
(Also, sorry Dannichu, I just really don't like HSM. I guess I'm just not its target audience 'cause I can't see the appeal. :B)

Jumper. I really liked the premis, that some people had the power to "jump" instantly to different places, but the movie failed at it. A friend of mine overhyped it so before I saw it I was like "OMG JUMPER SOUNDS AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!". The actual movie was more of a "Meh, that's nice".

Seconding Airplane! and the Naked Gun series, and also Monty Python and the Holy Grail (actually pretty much anything by Monty Python) and Shaun of the Dead (and I haven't seen Hot Fuzz, but it seems to fit this).
