360024, the word 'overrated' serves a different purpose

I don't like Pulp Fiction, but if you told me you haven't seen it I'd respond with some variation of "ohmygod". Miller's Crossing may or may not be overrated, but the Coen Brothers are not overrated and I expect everyone* to have seen their major works. It's not like we're talking about Intolerable Cruelty here.

>most of them even said something like it was a top 5 gangster
>movie or whatever

I know people who would say that. I also know lots of people who think it is good but not great.

Don't let your hyperbole-prone* friends sway you. Overrated really should be used in regard to more than what your circle of friends think, no matter how intelligent your friends.
