One New York City man's negative review of Monday's solar eclipse has gone viral, as he claimed it was 'super overhyped' and rated it just three out of five stars. 

People across the US left their homes and offices celestial event, some of them traveling across the country to be in the path of totality, where the moon appears to completely block the sun for several minutes.

But for the TikToker who goes by Tyreak Told You, the once-in-a-lifetime celestial event 'left much to be desired' and 'felt like a big ol' waste of time.'

He rattled off a list of people he blamed for hyping up the 'bum-*ss eclipse' - from the media to meteorologists, and conspiracy theorists he said were all responsible for raising expectations.

In some cultures, ancient people believed that eclipses were evidence of mystical happenings.

In ancient China, people believed a solar eclipse happened when a celestial dragon attacked and devoured the sun. And ancient Hindus believed eclipses were when celestial demons drank the nectar of benevolent gods.

But Tyreak was harder to impress. 

'I thought that my chakras would go into overload and I would get superpowers and turn into something else,' he said.

But the eclipse left him unchanged and frustrated.
