Couple things: First, "enjoying a movie" and "rating a movie a 10" are completely different animals. I've reviewed something like 70 movies and have only given a few 10s: Pulp Fiction, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and maybe one other. 10s should be rare, indeed. I know a lot of people rate movies 1 or 10, based on whether they think the rating of the movie is too high or too low. That's ridiculous.
If someone can watch a movie and then come on here to rave about it, it's equally conceivable and justifiable that someone will come on to speak out about how terrible a movie is. I like computer movies generally and really liked this one. I don't think it's Wargames, but it's pretty good. Probably a 7.5 or so. I came here to see what people had to say. These are all excellent motives for using IMDB. If the original poster came here to bait people into conversation and then try to put them down through offensive terms, etc., that's a bad motive.
If everyone who didn't like something just shut up about it, there would be no critical dialogue about a subject and we'd all be less-informed. I welcome reasonable posters who dislike movies. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that people disliked certain movies, but I wouldn't tell them to get lost just because they dislike it.
