These Are the Most Overrated Movies of All Time

The Hobbit Trilogy

This is going to sound harsh, but critics and viewers alike agree that The Hobbit and all the following films were reproductions of the LOTR formula that did not stick like the original trilogy. Sometimes it's best to let sleeping dogs lie. The Hobbit was way overhyped, overfunded, and was ultimately overrated. 

Sin City

Sin City was a super cool concept that stuck out in 2005, but the compliments that it gets nowadays are way outdated. The movie looked cool, that's for sure, but critics tore apart the subject matter and essentially clarified that the movie's appearance was the only redeemable quality about it. That and a lot of the subject matter is extremely offensive by today's standards. This movie's reputation is hanging on by a thread, and that thread is really just the overhype that it received.
