And I'll second The Iron Giant (love that movie!). Overrated (please don't throw too many tomatoes at me) I think are the Shrek movies. I know, I know! I don't hate them and I laugh at all the jokes, but sometimes I look at them and think that, really, they aren't as good as everyone and their grandmother praises them to be. Also, Watership Down. I'm sorry. But I don't get why that movie is so loved. I'm rather "meh" about it. And, last but not least (again, please don't throw too many tomatoes), the Harry Potter movies. They're not horrible, but they just seem (to me) to be lacking... something. And I always feel just a little sad inside when I hear about people who LOVE Harry Potter.. but have never ever read the books. Were I to make a Harry Potter recommendation, I'd recommend the books before the movies every single time.
