So size wise, it might be underrated, or so you think, but as a skyline, Seattle is WAY overrated,imo. With its scenery and all, Seattle's skyline gets a lot of recognition, so its anything but underrated.

It probably depends on where you're from. I know it gets a lot of criticism from San Francisco and Vancouver because they both can't get over themselves IMO.

You're from Texas, apparently. I guess my city gets more recognition over there, which is good to know.

...IDK, I was watching 'Enough', a movie with Jennief Lopez (Yeah, not sure if I should have admitted that), anyways, the movie has some decent shots of the Seattle Skyline. With the water, sun setting, the mountains and the new look buildings, i thought Seattle was anything but overrated.. I don't think Seattle is underrated either...

Honolulu may have a large skyline, but many skyline enthusiasts aren't impressed with skylines that are mostly residential and bland condo towers

It has 2 skylines, the large condo towers -- which is essentially what Miami is, and it get a lot of attention here. It also has a central business district that has it's own distinct skyline.

And the people at the Skyscraper forum seem to be impressed with it's skyline, so I'm not sure as to what you are eluding to. It's a great skyline.

And a skyline is more than buildings, the absolute beauty of Hawaii and it's nature / hills / forests / ocean name it that much more incredible. Visit the city sometime, I'll give you some pointers about where to go to get some awesome shots.

Here's the CBD

If you explored the threads I posted, not just the first page, you would see the comments / other photos of the CBD and other amazing shots.
