The Princess Bride. Very overrated.

I take it you're a fan of The Princess Bride?
Huuuuge fan. It was my favorite movie throughout most of elementary school and middle school, and it's definitely my second favorite book of all time.I take it you're a fan of The Princess Bride?

I want the sequel so badly! He needs to crank it out soon!I love the movie, too.
I have a few grieveances with the book, though. 1. It gets a little hard to follow in a few spots. 2. It could have done with a few more chapter breaks. 3. The sequel still hasn't come out yet! (That preview chapter was brilliant!)

Agreed. Or like the musical Wicked. I think it's the most overrated thing on the face of this planet, but that doesn't mean I don't adore it with all my heart. (Same thing goes for Glee. Totally overrated, but I love it.)Another thing I think people should keep in mind is that "overrated" and "bad" aren't synonyms. Overrated things just get more credit than they deserve; it doesn't mean they're bad. The Beatles are overrated, but they're still one of my favorite bands, for instance.
I do hold "Lion King" in high esteem, but I also see what you're saying. Disney lifted a whole lot of the story from elsewhere at a time when such things couldn't be as easily checked on the internet. Also there were some rough patches that still annoy me to this day: I didn't like the on-the-nose, rapidly aging visual montage rather than showing a few brief scenes of Simba maturing. I also didn't like the awkward-looking animal pyramid formation in the "Just Can't Wait to be King" dance number. It sticks out like a sore thumb surrounded by an otherwise beautiful standard.For me, it's The Lion King. It's one of movies I never liked as a child, never got me. I don't understand when everyone starts to compare new animation movies with TLK like it's a God. Many things were stolen from Kimba the White Lion, I do believe in this. Here the comparison goes -- http://www.kimbawlion.com/rant2.htm
I don't say that I hate TLK or anything like that. I like it, but all my fondness decreased to nothing because of its intolerable level of overrated-ness of fellow movies appreciators.
