The Avengers was a good popcorn movie that didn't try to be much more than that ... People who wanted more were probably disappointed, while those who wanted that were probably very pleased.

Prometheus was just garbage ...

A poll in which DC fans can vote in? What could possibly go wrong.

Avengers was done right. It was a popcorn movie. Because all the stories where setup in other films. Why do people forget this? The movie would of been a confusing mess. If all the characters where introduced in the film. Which is what Justice League is gonna have a problem with.

I think The Avengers is a touch overrated by fans, but critics were pretty much on target.

I hate to say it, but Lincoln might be the most overrated movie of 2012. I never thought I would say that in a million years, but I think it was a missed opportunity. Not bad by any means, but not the spectacle it could have been.

Avengers is a 69 on Metacritic. Id say its rated just fine.

Or is being overrated referring to something just being more popular then it should be?

Completely over-hyped.

Ted and Project X were both overrated. Think I'll go for Project X being more so though. While Ted may not have been funny it had good moments and wasn't a steaming pile of crap.

Overrated in what sense? People genuinely enjoyed the film, so no.

DC for life.

With that said, I thought The Avengers was a good movie that was hard to not enjoy. It didn't try to be something freakishly engaging, mind bogling and thought provoking. It was was just a generally well done action movie.
