FMA BH had a gigantic budget to begin with, no need to say that it was going to be flashy and epic from the start. I think it is overhyped, yes, I personally didn't like the whole ending deus ex machina towards the end but I do like how they ended the series. I do however love the original one, it has way better story and so much more heart to it than BH did. So is FMA BH overhyped? Quite a bit! It is bad? No, but it is not stellar and unfortunately falls into your typical shonen pitfalls that we all know too well.
