Stop manipulating the ratings for movies that truly suck


10% of the ratings for this movie give it a 10/10. Seriously? Stop trying to manipulate the ratings, people. I think this was sitting at the second worst in the IMDB bottom 100 at one point. If a movie blows, let it die on its own. Regardless of whether you fell like this should get 1 star or maybe, even a really strong 2, I think we all know that it's a piece of crap.

what about all the people that gave it 1 star that never saw it

You'll see that way too much unfortunately. Take for example, the Pixar fanboys. Many of them won't even give any other animation companies movies a chance, and instantly give them a 1 simply because "They aren't Pixar". Another example is when The Dark Knight was #1 on the top 250; The Godfather fans (and I presume others) got mad and gave the film a 1 so it would be bumped down. The ratings have really become way too unreliable.

The problem with IMDB ratings by the fans is you can quickly put anything in there to make the ratings go down or up. I mean seriously if you think this is a 10/10...why? Also, the same people that put the Godfather movies giving it a 1/10.

You should be forced to write an essay or something when you give a rating.

True, who in their right minds would give the Godfather (the greatest movie in the world) a 1/10. They deserve to have their favorite movie put into a burning fire and just die, die, die! Yea, and this is the exact reason I gave the Shawshank, and The Dark Knight a lower score than I would've. The Godfather deserves to stay at number 1, but this movie is a solid 1 I saw this in theatres and it was the worse.

reply

I'm gonna respectfully disagree about Shawshank. I think Shawshank is better than the Godfather, tbh. But yeah, this is the worst movie I've ever seen.

But then aren't you yourself manipulating the ratings by lowballing Shawshank and The Dark Knight to keep The Godfather at #1 (like it has anything to worry about)? How is that any different from/more respectable than people giving low scores to movies that don't come from the "right" animation studio? Just give the movies the rating you think they deserve without worrying about how they stack up against each other.

Are you fvcking serious? Then tell all the people who give a '1' to at least watch the damn movie first!

Sex scenes in movies are very necessary.

I watched this. It deserves a one star rating.
