First Sunday = What's wrong with IMDB

44 % of the people who saw this movie gave this a 1 rating, and nearly 19% gave this movie a 10. So two thirds of the people who saw this movie felt it was either Oscar/best picture quality or deserved a Razzie for worst picture. Am I the only one who thinks this is rediculous??? This movie is far from being an oscar quality film, but it's also not nearly the worst movie I've seen over the past year. With any ratings system, you expect a few goofballs to give out way too many 10's and you expect a few film snobs to give out too many 1's, but 63%?? It boggles the mind........O, and I gave this movie a 6, cause Kat Williams is halarius.

I do. But you have to pick your poison, know what I mean.

I found out in the late '90's, maybe early 2000 that people who had not seen the movie could rate AND that people could rate more than once... I left them ratings alone way back then. And yes, I've been here just that long.

Duh, things have changed since then and you can only rate once now OFCOURSE!

[–] LadyDi2U 16 years ago

And you think people would rate better with "dislike" or "liked"? NO. What they need is a system that allows only ONE vote per IP and/or login and/or email address ever... for that particular voting item. But then, people would find different ways to rig that too I'm sure. It's a lil early forgive any typos or grammatical errors.

You need to come out of the 90's. You can only vote once now per user. Doing it per IP would be a bad idea.

And yes, a like/dislike option would be better, since that is what most people are doing anyway. That way there would be nothing misleading about the rating.

[–] LadyDi2U 16 years ago

There are people who will rate a movie dislike/like and they never take time to see it just because they want and can rate it anyway they feel. And I rated this movie twice... when it first came out.

The reason is that a lot of people rate movies as either like (10) or dislike (1) without actually regarding how much or how little they like it.

[–] lana23 16 years ago

some people rate a movie they like a 10 to offset the idiots that rate movies a 1 before even watching it.
