  1. how do you know it's over hype?
  2. you do seem like someone who might not appreciate this movie

Every movie hyped here is not that good, the room is unenjoyable, the fifth element is not that great, so I'm assuming this one is more childhood nostalgia that keeps it beloved. I don't enjoy bad movies, and I never liked princess movies

The film contains the most accurate depiction of rapier fighting ever portrayed in cinema.

But yeah, if you hate adventure, witty humor and solid action, skip it. Nobody is twisting your arm.

the fifth element is not that great

Foking wot, mate? The Fifth Element is awesome! Multipass!

The Room is hyped for being terrible, The Fifth Element is hyped for being good.

If you didn't like The Fifth Element then you probably won't enjoy The Princess Bride.

Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes...

They just seemed like a person that might be turned off if they thought it was a kissing book!
