5.1 average IMDB user rating?!

January 1st, 2010. Is this real? 5,1 average user rating? F.e. "Independence Day" has 6.5 as of today and was one of the biggest box-office-hits ever? Can this be true?
"Casino Royale" is, IMHO, a brilliant, wonderfully chaotic, liberal, mind-freeing & typical late 60ies/early 70ies movies with an outstanding (!) cast. It is brilliantly mocking and praising the 007-series at the same time.
Niven as a chaste Anti-007-image is hilarious. Andress is the Ultra-Attractive Bond-girl. No, WOMAN. Allen is the Uber-Incompetent-Antagonist. And, and, and.
How can you not like this movie, I don't get it.
I sincerely wish I'd have lived those days.
Further recommendations:
"What's new Pussycat?"
The first 5 "Pink Panther" flics
"The Graduate"
"Harold and Maude"

open your mind & n-joy

Agreed, must be tanked by Bond film junkies with no sense of humor. Compare to the abysmally unfunny Yellowbeard's 6.0 rating! (Haven't trusted IMDB ratings for quite a while, but this just reinforces it.)

I agree; interesting that it seems to have been stuck at 5.1 for at least 12 years, usually older films see some incremental improvement over time. I seem to recall it was at 5.1 back when I first started using IMDB around 2000 as well.

IMDB ratings were funked up before Amazon took over, don't think there's any chance they'll get better now.
