These Are the Most Overrated Movies of All Time

Inception

Many critics believe that Inception was scatter-brained and supremely overrated. Inception saw large commercial success, but many viewers left feeling underwhelmed. The movie is a cool idea, but the execution is so complex and piled upon itself that it's hard to keep up in an ever-changing cinematic world. Inception falls into the same category as The Matrix, it's complex and exciting but lacks substance at its base. 

Knocked Up

Knocked Up was the best-reviewed movie of all of 2007. But, some critics were brave enough to go against the grain to call the movie sexist and objectifying to women. While that is still debated, it's impossible to ignore the outdated stereotypes that the main characters fill, and how the supporting characters just exist to be comedic punching bags for the protagonists. This movie doesn't live up to its own reputation.
