These Are the Most Overrated Movies of All Time

The Big Lebowski

Daphne Merkin of the New Yorker dropped a scathing review of this film in 1998 that highly criticized The Big Lebowski's uselessly intellectual references specifically to stimulate and empower nerds. Others, however, criticized the movie's confusing story and lack of actual comedic value. The characters were memorable, but that was really it. The Big Lebowski is a cult hit, but only for people who think that they're smarter than you (for the most part). 

Transformers

Not even Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox could save this movie series. Critics widely dislike the original Transformers and all those that came after it, but audiences love giant explosions and robots that punch each other, so these movies aren't going away any time soon.
