Star Wars is overrated.






Jk. Star Wars is freaking amazing.
I almost cried, then I read the bottom line.

The Hobbit is overrated, I wanted to like it, but it just wasn't possible.

As long as you aren't talking about the old animated version of the Hobbit I agree :)

Man, I loved the Hobbit. Cinematically it was beautiful. I will say that even though the other two aren't out yet, spanning it over three movies is excessive.

When I say the hobbit I mean both.  The new one, although beautiful, it was too hyped up for me.  Although I will watch the rest of the series, I think that movie will always just be OK.

I just think bio shock is overrated... It's so dang stereotypical...
Have you read the history behind the world of Bioshock? It's actually really in depth and cool. I thought I would hate the games, and then I played the second, which made me wonder about the history of the place (since I never played the first). After a lot of reading, I've found it's one of my favorite stories. Very dark, but very well thought out!

And I have to agree with Mike again. Bacon is not overrated at all. Great stuff there.
Yes I played the first and second bio shock games, and upon first glance, they seemed awesome, until I realized the setting is just a steampunk atlantis

I just thought the process and reason behind Adam, Plasmids, and the creation of Little Sisters and Big Daddies was really interesting, if a bit twisted.

I actually listened to a Stuff You Should Know podcast earlier about Atlantis. It was interesting. Shinfo.

Batman is overrated

Ouch.
well the old movies definitely. The joker realy didn't have that joker feel in the first batman movie which came out in the...80's? 90's? Isn't the joker suppose to have a rakdos like mindset?

Which movie? The one from the 90's with Jack Nicklaus as Joker or the one from the 60's with Ceaser Romano as Joker?

SOME batman is overrated. The older movies I think were meh, the Dark Knight I really enjoyed (Heath Ledger really did a phenomenal job as the joker), but then the new one with Bane was another meh.

But of course the old series with Adam West was a classic. Pretty funny stuff. I laugh every time I see the .gif of him with the giant, oversized, round, cartoony bomb trying to find a safe place to let it detonate.

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.
