Overrated Movies (or "Why Does Everyone Like Tyler Durden?")

I'm not so keen on films being labelled as "overrated". I agree that some films are shoved in your face too much and everyone raving on about the film being absolutely amazing, but when you see if for yourself and it's not as good as it was hyped to be you may feel that the film was overrated. But really, it's all down to a matter of opinion and personal taste.

I try and not read reviews or listen to people when they talk about the latest film of the moment, because that's when the whole overrated thing comes into action. I like to watch a film with an open mind not knowing if it's gonna be good or bad.

But really no one can lump together a list of films and say that these films are overrated end of story, because the chances are there's gonna be people who love those movies and an argument is gonna start.

For me personally I watched some stupid countdown of the scariest films ever made and The Shining made number 1. When I actually saw it, it didn't quite cut it for me, I thought the film was good and it had it's moments but it wasn't the scariest.

As for the Tarantino discussion I read briefly in here, I agree that his films are good but he's not a genius director people make him out to be. Another thing that pisses me off is how his name seems to crop up on films like Hero, so stupid people think that he directed it because it has a "Quentin Tarantino Presents" at the top of the case.
