These Are the Most Overrated Movies of All Time

Field of Dreams

Although Field of Dreams is considered to be a sports classic to many who have enjoyed it in the past, Sports Illustrated writer Jerry Belvins doesn't think that the movie got the proper criticism that it deserved. For instance, Belvins points out that the legendary Shoeless Joe Jackson batted left-handed in real life, while the movie displayed him as a righty. He also criticized the scripting of the movie, calling it lazy and inaccurate to the origins of the players themselves. He credits the movie's popularity to the public perception that they "have to like the movie because everyone else does."
