IMDB Scores You Cannot Understand


Either because the movie is rated too high, or too low

Karate Kid Part III (5.2) is rated too low, it's a fun sequel with a memorable villain and a great ending! Should be at least a 6.5.

Force Awakens is rated too high, I don’t get the love for it, lazy script and a crappy death for Han Solo. Should be at 6.5 - 6.9 rather than 7.9.

Part II had a really low score, too. I haven't watched them in a while, but they were enjoyable.

I did re-watch "The Karate Kid" this year, and I was surprised it still held up with my movie self.. I guess I become a new person movie-wise, and like to re-evaluate. I gave it an 8/10

I imagine that the 7.9 rating for TFA was for the effects.

I have a 6 year old daughter, so I watch a lot of kids films: -
Emoji The Movie 3.3
It’s no masterpiece, but I don’t get the hate 6.0 would be fairer.

reply

It was trendy to hate emojis at around that time. If only they managed to release the movie 2 or 3 years earlier it would get at least a 6. They just had the worst timing.

reply

The scores on all the Batman movies. Especially TDKR. They are all at least 2 points too high. Some as many as 7 points too high. Mystifying.

reply

Have to agree. The dark knight is a good movie. But one of the best of all time? Give me a break.

Gigli (2003). 2.5 on IMDb, can't understand the low rating. I really like this movie.

reply

It should be a 5.

5.2

i just took a look at the top 250, & i was shocked to see the hunt all the way up at 96 with an 8.3 rating. not unpleasantly surprised, mind you...i think it's an excellent film, & i think i gave it a rating like that when i watched it. but it's such a dark, bitter film, bleak & sad, that i'm a bit surprised that so many people rated it so highly.

i think it's a great movie, but i can't imagine ever wanting to watch it again.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) should be a 4/10

reply

Panic Room - Only a 6.8

The Dark Knight - Great film, but get outta here with top 5.

Magnolia - Should be higher than an 8.0

I'm Thinking of Ending Things - Currently a 6.7. I can't see people not liking it, but less than a 7?

reply

The Shawshank Redemption. Nuff said.

reply

I agree. 9.3/10 - gimme a break... It's a good movie. 7.5/10, but I can think of a dozen of other prison movies that are better.

-Le Trou
-A Man Escaped
-Birdman of Alcatraz
-Pappillon
to name a few
