Overrated movies/TV shows/books. They loved it, you hated it.
Harry Potter-sucked
District 9-sucked royally
Batman-sucked
Twilight-just another "teenybopper" movie.. 
eta: GI Joe and the 2nd Transformers were horrible. I forgot about those.

I don't think GI Joe and Transfomer 2 were ever rated high. Most people accept it as brainless fun movie with girls in tights and explosions everywhere.
As for Twilight, agree, sucks major ass.
District 9 and Batman

Rent. I loved it and thought it was absolutely awesome...but a phenomenon that revolutionized American theater? Notsomuch.

Books or movies? If the latter, you get a pass (especially after the last movie). If the former, I seriously wonder about you.

o.k. is there anything you and I can agree on? I didn't like that movie either.

I can't stand American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, that whole genre of shows. Or the competition dating shows - Bachelor, Bachelorette, etc. Really, pretty much any of reality shows that the whole premise is eliminating people for whatever purpose, through whatever method, to get to a winner. They all annoy me, whether they're about singing or dating or cooking or whatthehelleverstupidthing.
Stopped watching Grey's Anatomy a few seasons ago. The characters all get on my nerves.
Liked the original Matrix movie, fell asleep during the second, never bothered to watch the third.
Just don't get the appeal of the American Pie movies.
Read the Twilight books at the insistence of a teenage relative. I wasn't impressed (the last one especially is AWFUL). The movies look horrible.

Seriously? I really enjoyed the Blue Man Group show I went to. Then again, I also liked District 9, Harry Potter (the books, anyway), Star Wars, Top Gun and Survivor, all of which have made the "hated it" list.
I really wanted to like A Confederacy of Dunces, but just couldn't get into it for some reason. I wouldn't say I hated it, but I felt like it was overrated. I recently read The Appeal, and wish I could get back the time I invested in reading it, so I'm feeling like John Grisham is currently overrated as well. Based on the reviews I've read/heard about Dan Brown's new book, I'm afraid I'm going to feel like that was overrated, too. Can't comment on that one until I finish, though.

I don't go to the movies very much, but I do read quite a bit.
I thought that My Sister's Keeper was a great book, and the mediocrity of the movie appalled me.
I even find Cameron Diaz annoying after seeing that movie.

So You Think You Can Dance?
Dancing With The Stars
Moulin Rouge
I'm usually not into anything that is terribly popular-- but saying that I do love Twilight (especially the books!) and SURVIVOR. (I almost skipped my wedding shower to watch it the first season!  ) I've never read the Harry Potter books, but I'm thinking of giving them a read.

Agreed. I'm not done with them all (stupid school getting in the way of my reading...) but I think they're AMAZING! But yes the movies are just...meh.

Not to double post, but I think the new Fame movie is going to be dumb too.
