Being Careful of Using the Word "Overrated"

I've been misusing the word "overrated" like when I said I tend to overrate Red Hawk and Red Turbo.  So what does overrate really mean?  Here it is- overestimating merits and rate too highly.  This might include doing the following stuff:

1.) A Power Rangers purist is quick to avoid Super Sentai and say it's no big deal to miss the original or even lie about Super Sentai.

2.) Tend to ignore the flaws of anything overrated.  For example, Jetman can be considered overrated.  I've often ignored some of its nostalgic elements to past Sentai were not as well executed as the original or that for Red Hawk, Kotaro Tanaka wasn't that good as an actor either.

3.) Those who patronize American products tend to ignore non-American products ignoring not all American products are of good quality.

So I guess I have had another gem of learning to go with.
