Who exactly is over rating It Came From Beneath The Sea? A lot of Ray fans (myself included) consider it one of his weakest films.

As for 20 Million Miles, Flying Saucers, and 20,000 Fathoms, I don't think they're overrated at all.

I will say that I think First Men In The Moon is extremely UNDER-rated though

Going outside of the Harryhausen spectrum, I find the original Blob to be pretty overrated. I mean, I like it and everything, but its so often cited as a pinnacle of these types of movies and I can't get why. To me its just kinda bland (and this isn't even considering that I think the 80s version is better).

The best part of MIB 3 FYI is all the revamped monsters from the 50s. Ro-Man, the Saucer People and the Metaluna Mutant.

Man...just thinking about the 50's monsters makes me happy!! :D
