OK, share things that "everyone RAVES about" but when you tried it/went there/ate it etc it left you properly underwhelmed and you've almost ashamed to admit it. Don't need to give details or reasons, just name THE THING

The Matrix.

Slightly different as I have learned to love it, but the first time I saw Mamma Mia I was a bit underwhelmed. However, I think that was more that it was so hyped - plus I love ABBA so much - that nothing could live up to it. I never disliked it; it just took a few viewings to love.

La la Land was yawnsome.

Once you’ve seen Tom Hiddlestone give an interview he seems like the skinniest nerd in the class. Not really heartthrob material.

No offence to skinny people or nerds although it seems I am being super offensive to both parties but I can’t Think how else to put it.
