simple really, tell us the most over rated and the most under rated thing you can think of and why.

Over rated: Avatar, sure the graphics are brilliant, but if you pulled the graphics out of it it would be utterly terrible, the acting wasn't very good and the story was just Pocahontas. It also clocked in at too long. Graphics cannot make a movie.

Under Rated: Bloc Party.
Simply one of the best bands of all time, and yet all anyone knows of is 'Helicopter"
I love every song of theirs I have heard, except for 3.....No band has that sort of consistancy.


what are yours and why?

Overrated: Borderlands, I have to force myself to play it...

Underrated: Smut, some of it can be really good (story-wise)...

Over rated: Twilight

Vampires don't glisten, Vampires were never teenage boys, Vampires were not closet emos, Vampire movies did not suck.

Over rared? I'm going to go with either Doctor Who or anything by that guy that made "Knocked Up". For under rated...hmm...I'll have to go with ukuleles. Seriously, they're an ass load of fun.

Over rated: sliced bread. It's not that difficult to cut your own bread, plus you get to choose how thick you want the bread to be, rather than letting the man tell you how thick it should be.

Under rated: those little support things they put in the pizza box to keep the lid from sagging and sticking to the cheese.

Wait. So that's what they're for? I never knew that.....

Underrated (or taken for granted nowadays since they're not advertised anymore): Those "heat wave" packs that the delivery guy carries your pizza in so it stays hot.

Overrated: Braid. Gameplay should never take a backseat to story, 'nuff said.

Underrated: Superman Returns. I guess it's the specter of Superman 64, or maybe the lackluster performance of the titular movie, that keeps most people away from this one. It's no Arkham Asylum, sure, but it's hands down the best Superman game ever made. There's something to be said for just flying around at supersonic speed and freezing people with super breath.

You read my mind, which is kinda worrying.
