I can see why someone would choose that. Being overrated is as much about the level of hype as the quality! I don't think it's a bad film at all, but it's not leaps and bounds beyond your run-of-the mill Hollywood superhero movie. It's built up by people as a new dawn in film.
For me....
Overated - Kill Bill*
Underrated - Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
*If I had to narrow it down to just the one Tarantino film. They're supposed to be 'cool' but just don't pull it off as far as I'm concerned. It's a lot like Burton playing at Gothic or Ronan Keating crooning, trying FAR too hard. It's embarrassing.
I think , the 2nd Batman film was more overrated IMO.

Underrated : Hear No Evil, See No Evil.
Awesome comedy

Tarantino was cool once; True romance, Pulp fiction and reservoir dogs define the early 90s for me. He then ran out of ideas; ruining Jackie Brown and then the current crop of tribute/rippoff B movies. Why set out to make a B movie when you have a budget? Kill Bill is not so much a movie but a homage to martial arts films. Each scene is done to a different style.
Overated: Inglorious B's.
Underrated: tbc, the boss just came in.
Some comedies coming up:
Overrated: The Hangover
I heard so many rave reviews and fb statuses about this movie when it was released I had to go see it. Even with four of my friends who would laugh at anything, we still didn't find ourselves genuinely laughing at any point in the movie. It was just one cliche of being drunk/hungover after another, pretty underwhelming.
Underrated: I Love You Man
When I watched this movie for the first time I was in stitches. Since going to uni I've watched it with my housemates at least once or twice a year and it still makes me laugh. Absolutely loved it!
Honorable mention: Swingers - we were bored and streamed this one night and it turned out to be a really good surprise. The plot was sharp and funny and nearly every line was a ready made catch phrase. We were so inspired we ended up going out. Yes we are that impressionable!
Overrated: Crouching Tiger.
Can anyone remember this, won loads of awards around the world.
Went to see it and nearly fell asleep.
underrated: Mean Machine with Vinnie Jones.
Apollo 18 - WORST. MOVIE. EVER. Everyone got so excited over it, and for what... Nothing!

Underrated - The Postman
Not really that bad at all , far better than a lot of flms with 6 -7 ratings I see on IMDb
Underrated - Cobb
Jones is great in it
Overrated -
A Few good men , The firm , Apollo 18,
The Dark Knight / The Book Of Eli
Overrated: Twilight & the Girl with Dragon Tattoo
I think The Dark Knight was a good film, but I just found it over the top, and a bit of a mess in places; it was hard to understand what was really going on. I enjoyed Batman Begins more.
I can add to this list of over-rated films....although in actual fact many reviews don't over rate it : Prometheus. What a disappointing waste of 2 hours.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure under- rated when compared to the Godfather which is over rated
Reason:
The message of the Godfather; descent into evil blah blah
The message of Bill and Ted's excellent Adventure: Be Excellent to each other
Another overrated one: The Last Emperor. Just chop his head of and save me 3 hours of my life!
