The Cinemaholic's 10 Most Overhyped Movies of All Time

"Hype can be defined as an extravagant or intensive publicity or promotion. In cinema, hype is often a by product of a filmmaker's stature and reputation or the iconic global status of a film franchise. The hype surround a movie is fired up by various other factors too including the production house, the star cast, the subject of the film and so on and so forth. What's worrying here is how much people's judgement gets clouded by the legend that such a hype brings on to the film. So when is it that you feel a film is over-hyped? That is, a film gaining more recognition and popularity than what it really deserves. I know such a statement sounds downright provocative and offensive but let's face it, we all have a few set of films about which we can never stop ranting or fail to understand what makes them so universally appealing." - thecinemaholic.com
