    "Overrated" means people loved it. That usually means you're gonna get decent titles in here, not bad ones.

    That said, I would have to say Lincoln. I can't tell you how many people personally raved to me about it, in addition to the many fatuous critics. And it was dead on the screen, with the addition of those ridiculous Spielberg touches, like having Civil War combatants recite the Gettysburg Address to LIncoln himself. I mean WTF was that.

    I remember my dad hearing me out, and then responding, "Yeah, but the *history*," which I think is just mental. Read a book about it. Watch the History Channel. The movie sucked.

    • I think this movie polarizes people who are interested in history and those who aren't. Either way, any movie with Daniel Day Lewis is fine by me.CyBrainX
