Overrated Things Thread

It's rated about as high as it could possibly be rated. If you think maybe it's half a peg below best acting performance of the decade (as michcat clearly does) then it should be considered overrated.

I would have no issue with saying the entire movie was overrated.  If you haven't seen A Knight's Tale, catch it the next time its on TBS for 24hrs a day this summer.  Then watch Batman.

Yeah, the difference in HL's performance in every other movie he was in vs his performance in Batman is why it is talked about so much(also the fact that he died right before the release).

I really enjoyed it and was really disappointed that he died and wouldn't have a chance to do other things now that he showed he wasn't just some chick flick actor.

this thread is turning into the things white midwestern people like thread.  JFC people put some thought into your overrated stuff.

I've heard good arguments that his performance in Brokeback Mountain is better than his Dark Knight performance. DDL even said he was inspired by it for his performance in There Will Be Blood.
