Stupid vandals strike again.

Most of the people voting on this long-lost film are under the age of 30. 38 of these lamebrains voted it a 1, being the experts on films, particularly silent films, without having even seen it. The people old enough to have seen it (and cast votes) held the movie in high regard.

Given a report out of the college at Beloit, Wisconsin, in which young people think that Jay Leno is the only host the Tonight Show has ever had, and also think that global positioning systems have been around a long time, the young people voting on this film may, just may, have voted on the talkie feature released over a decade later. Still, it doesn't deserve a 1 either.

I was pissed when I saw what had been done too. What a shame

They watch a few scraps of a film on YouTube or somewehre and decide that they're qualified to make a sound judgment in voting on it. That's akin to voting on a film just because you've seen the trailer.

Thanks for your input.

I bet they didn't see the youtube clip of Miracle Man

You're likely right. I guess I was trying to assign a fairly plausible reason for the votes - these clowns don't need a reason.

Actually it's the IMDB staff that has given all the "1" ratings to The Miracle Man. What happens is someone creates several different accounts and gives it several "10" ratings. In return the IMDB staff will give it a "1".

Probably why the Dark Knight is no longer the #1 movie :P
