Angelina is pretty. And she does great things for people. But she is NOT all that. There are plenty of people just as beautiful, if not more, than her that do just as wonderful things to help the world. So yeah, she is overrated.

I've come to the conclusion that some people don't know the definition of 'overrated.' Unless you've seen all of her films, unless your familiar with her philanthropy, unless you're aware of all of her professional accomplishments, you cannot say she is rated too highly. A good bellweather would be influence - how influential has she been in popular culture and influencing not only her peers but people across the spectrum and across teh world to involve themselves more in charitable endeavors and philanthropy, well Time magazine says VERY...which is why she's been voted Most Influential Person back to back to back...professional, having already won an Oscar she has also been buzzed about and nominated during awards seasons two years in a row. So, no, I don't think Jolie has been rated too highly -- with everything, it's always about the RETURN INVESTMENT, is this person doing amazing work professionally (critical acclaim and box office), is she amazing work philanthropically, is she interesting, charismatic, is she taking care of her family....the public can only wonder at everything she's accomplished and she's ONLY 33..she serves as those quotes demonstrate, as an influential presence on a whole generation....in other words - the return investment is money in the bank, literally....then you ask yourself, who ELSE is covering all bases like this in such a way - not many. Most women can do just one of these things well, and sometimes they can't do that...but someone who doesn't have a return investment Maniston - she's fug, she makes crap movies, she just started trickling out a few pennies from her 100 mil fortune, and she's angry, bitter and self absorbed. THAT is overrated.
