Does it overheat idling, around town, on the freeway, or all of these? When it gets warmed up feel the temperature difference between the upper and lower radiator hoses, if they are not both hot the thermostat is bad. Water pump is unlikely if it's not leaking.

If you're saying the needle on the dash goes up past the halfway mark, then it's almost always a bad thermostat.
