How is it possible that the weighted average for this film is 1. It is obvious that someone at IMDB does not like either the film or the filmmaker. Is the IMDB staff calculating the votes based on the bottom voters? What about the people who actually liked the film? After seeing this, I hightly doubt I'll ever believe any rating of any picture on this site. Who is responsible for this?
shareI'm not sure what they are, but IMDB has ways of figuring out who's biased or voting for suspicious reasons: For instance, if someone has only ever voted for 5 films + gave them all 10 + those five films are all by the same director = director's friend trying to up the rating.
In this case I would guess they weed out people who have only ever voted for a tiny number of films, given them all 10s, and they're all, films by the same director, production company, LDS films. As for the raiting dropping so far so fast, I've noticed that the mathmatical average and the weighted average are the same until x number of votes have been cast. Then the computatiton adjustment programs kick in.
