I think I've said this before, but since people perceive things as "overrated" relative to their own opinion* (i.e. to rate something more highly than the speaker is to over-rate it), calling something "overrated" is literally equivalent to "some people like this thing more than I do".
Which, unless you are the most dedicated fanboy on the planet, is true for pretty much everything - making it the single most meaningless non-criticism I can think of.
*Also making "objectively overrated" an oxymoron
