Just asking, does anyone else think that this film is not overrated? I mean, I've heard so many people call it "overrated" all the time, but it seems so much more underrated in fact. I mean, the definition of overrated is "something that's rated too highly", and 74 percent from critics and 70 percent from audiences on rotten tomatoes, while a good and "certified fresh" score, is not in any way rated too highly. Any overrated movie would have a score on one side of over 80 percent at least. The only way 74 or 70 percent is overrated, is if a movie that has literally nothing good at all in it was given that rating, and this film was faaar from bad. It gets picked on far too much and is called overrated by people who just couldn't finding themselves enjoying it at all, and didn't even care about the scenes that would make people shiver with epicness, like the atomic breath scenes. X-men Days of Future Past seems more qualified to be overrated than this film. Now, I haven't seen Xmen DOFP, and it may very well be a great film, and I might like it if I see it too, but what I'm saying here, is that it has gotten near perfect reviews and is getting treated like the "Godfather" and "Seven Samurai" by everyone. I'm not saying anything bad about the new X-men movie, and like I said even though I haven't seen it, it may very well have very little flaws. My point is though, is that very few people ever complain about X-men, while Godzilla, which I thought was a great movie and had amazing monster scenes, has an entire bandwagon of people relentlessly hating on it, not even acknowledging any of the truly epic moments in it. So I would say, despite what plenty of people are saying, this movie is actually underrated, and if there was an honest list (and not like that dumb reader's poll for the "worst movies" from Rolling Stones) called: "Top 10 best but most picked on movies of all time" Godzilla would probably be No. 1 on it.
