Yeah it is okay, I have watched it but I do not it is worth all the hype and definatly should not be considered an all time great.
All time greats are the classics that show us something that is so mind blowing that you have to love it. I could definately put bebop, outlaw star, and possibly Full Metal Panic in this category.
Yeah I don't hate Fullmetal Alchemist by any means I just don't think it is as good as people hype it up to be.
[EDIT: Fixed your spelling of Fullmetal Alchemist. -TK]
It is all a matter of personal opinion. I happened to love Full Metal just for the fact that it got me so emotionally involved. It is really rare that an anime causes me scream profanities at the tv (towards the end of the sereis I did this on a nightly basis) much less absolutely love the good guys and hate hate hate the bad guys. I honestly couldn't get into the movie for some reason, but many other people enjoyed it. That is the great thing about anime though, no matter what you like you have plenty titles to choose from.

Care to make an actual argument? Just saying it's overrated and that it's not worth the hype tells us nothing. Why do you think it's overrated? Did you not like the characters, were there plot-holes, did something about alchemy just not sit well with your, or what?
And how exactly are Bebop, OS, or even FMP! considered so mind-blowing that I and everyone else in the Milky Way just have to love and consider them all-time greats?
