Lord of the Rings, because the characterisation is weak, at the expense of
highlighting expensive FX, and it's full of fan-wank and loads of stupid
battles and way too many rules to be obeyed, given that it's set in a place
where magic is real.

Harry Potter, for similar reasons.

The Godfather. Well, I just found the whole subject deeply boring.

James Bond ditto.

The new Star Wars films are also hugely overrated, but I do like the
originals, although that could be as much to do with being in the right
place at the right age to form an emotional attachment as anything else.

That's more than two, but then I think all of these are overrated and could
probably think of others. Rocky, Die Hard, Rambo, Childs Play / Chucky,
don't like any of that shite.
