For me it's actually The Hobbit



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

That's 2nd for me.

That poll is highly bias as it leaves out most other notable blockbusters - Batman Rises, Amazing Spider-Man, the Hobbit, Battleship, John Carter

Avengers was not technically a great movie (it was great in many respects) but it was a great time and fun to watch more than once.

Avengers was mediocre at best, definitely overrated.

I can't stand it when people go into an action movie like Avengers, Iron Man, Transformers, whatever, and come out criticizing it for not having emotion depth or some garbage like that. These are movies based on comic books, toys, kids shows, etc... Do people really walk in expecting an epic drama with emotional depth and oscar-worthy character development?? Do you walk into a burger joint and rate it poorly for not being a top-tier steakhouse?

It's an ACTION MOVIE, and a very good one at that, so no, not overrated.

I mostly agree, I think there can be emotional depth, but it is meant to be a simple action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously

The same cannot be said for the Dark Knight Rises, the worst film I have seen in a very long time

I thought The Dark Night Rises was great.

The film is just a series of plot holes, it made me just start hitting things in rage so so so frequently

Any plot hole in those movies can be answered in this way... how? Because he's BATMAN!

Its overrated as in it wasnt as epic as something liked Avatar. But, it was not overrated in the sense that it was an enjoyable movie worth the money.

If only captain america's costume wasnt so bad compared to his own movie and it would've been spotless.

The Avengers was a good movie, but it was severely over-hyped and the like.
Too many people say that it's the best movie ever.

However, the way all the characters tied together was cool.

Anybody who says a movie based on comic books is the 'best movie ever' should not be trusted anyway.
