Im still waiting on someone to tell me how the original trilogy is over rated. Sounds like the movie didn’t have enough flashing lights and loud noises your y’all.
The originals have an avg rating of 8.5 and an avg rotten tomatoes score of 90. Not only are they incredibly popular but they continued to be well scored by people that have never seen them.
I don't think they are over rated, I'm just saying this defensive mentality is strange. Let them think it's overrated. It shouldn't detract from your joy.
If I say "x is overrated" it's a statement of my opinion relative to the average rating of x. That's literally what the sentence means. Stating the average rating of x doesn't disprove anything. You're not even engaging with the idea lol. And there's little reason to since it's literally just someone's opinion relative to the mainstream.
