I remember reading it when younger and all I could think was what a massive prick Holden Caulfield was. Maybe I'll re-read it sometime to see if my attitude has changed.

He is a prick, thats the entire point

Batman movies and every other predictable pile of sh1te hollywood movie that becomes trendy.

Soccer/football. 90 minutes of passing played by wimps who get carted off on a stretcher because someone looked at them funny or they were hit with a stiff breeze.

Bob Dylan has an awful voice yet he treated like a genius
I don't like him at all

Also, WWF or whatever name it's going by these days.
Fake wrestling, load of shíte

The Big Lebowski, not funny at all

Batman, Spiderman and Superman are all very over-rated and stupid in my opinion, never understood how they could be so popular among people over 10 years old.

Ah, good to know I wasn't misreading the whole anti-hero aspect then!

Its a wonderful life.

Football, how people watch 90+ minutes of this stuff is beyond me. The only team I can barely stand watching is Barcelona.

Ipad, I-phones, every kind of device where countless pointless 'apps' are offered. Completely mystified as to how people obsess over this kind of stuff.

Going to live concerts is another one, I can barely see the band usually and the sound quality can be terrible. Couple that with drunk idiots means I haven't been to one in years.

Which brings me on to beer, or the taste of it. 90% of the mainstream stuff is absolutely turgid; Heineken, Carlsberg. I just can't fathom how people swear by this stuff. Are they all just afraid to tell the truth that this stuff is horrible?

Did you not like the Chris Nolan Batman films?
Spider-man is aimed at teenagers. Young man wakes up one day with "web" coming out of him. He puts on muscle etc. It's a puberty/becoming an adult thing.
Superman, I'll never understand the appeal. What's so great about being perfect and having every stupid power possible?

I think you might be missing the point of an allegory.

I got hammered on another thread for saying this but Liam Neeson has the acting ability of a turnip!

If I think something is overrated I wouldn't be afraid to say it

I think this should be re-named "Stuff you think is over-rated, but dont have mates to rip the piss out if it with, so post it on the internets to feel like a boss" thread...

He's a fundamentalist Christian nutcase who wants religion and the Bible taught as history in schools. Enough said.

Adele, Corrine Bailey Rae, Duffy, Macy Grey - also I can't get past the fact that the latter sounds like Donald Duck when she sings.

People need to learn the difference between 'overrated' and 'I don't like'.

There are plenty of popular things that don't appeal to me. That doesn't make them overrated, they're just not my thing.

Also just because something is popular doesn't mean people rate it. For instance Two And A Half Men is massively popular but it's not critically acclaimed or anything. Some people just think it's funny.

Herb Powell · 23-12-2012 05:53PM

I tried watching The Big Lebowski several times. Can't get through it. I just don't get it. Ah well.
