Hyperbole on both sides. Like I said, people don't have enough objectivity - there's little room for middle ground, especially on the internet where the loudest opinions provoke the most response. So when you've got a popular film, invariably there will be those who praise it to the heavens and those who utterly bury it, when the truth likely falls somewhere in between.
This is my best friend from childhood since we were kids. Everything is either the best thing ever or terrible. I'm always giving him grief about it.
