    Please explain how it is "overrated"
    It is overrated because so many people are so quick to put it in their top 5 of all-time. It's is no where even CLOSE to top 5 all-time. It's probably in the top 30, maybe even top 20, but no where close to top 5 like many so enthusiastically suggest.

    My favorite movie is Shrek 2.

    It's not top 5 of all time maybe but I think it's the best movie of the decade.

    I LOVED the movie. Yet, it is not even in my top 10. After that, probably would put it into the top 25. Its tough when you combine action, crime/gangster, comedy, sports, etc into a single list.

    The cast was pretty star studded and the acting was great. I'm not sure how I would rate, but I loved this movie also.

    I could never watch it for the same reason. Finally ended up seeing it. Leo's performance was outstanding. This is one of the top movies ever. The acting is great. The story is awesome. It's just an all around great movie.

    Boris, if you're referring to the one with Richard Gere and Andy Garcia (about 15 or so years ago), it was a pretty good movie.

    I think it's a Japanese movie on which The Departed is adapted.

    No, was a Chinese movie from '02. I keep reading that it's much better than The Departed.
