How Imdb "fixes" the rating!

Of course they would. Fanatically fans of anything will do it.

Scores get upvoted as well as downvoted.

Well isn't that convenient? You're so adamant that fake 1/10 votes from non-viewers were a plague on the movie yet deny that fake 10/10 votes are even possible (despite that it is the same trolling behavior). You're so hilariously full of it. Despite what the controlled woke-shill media convinced you to think, you have no way of knowing how many people fake-voted against the movie or if the amount was substantial enough to have unfairly sabotaged the IMDb score. You just know that (as you were told) a politically pre-approved movie that wasn't supposed to be attacked, was attacked, which is therefore is wrong and sexist/racist/homophobe/etc.
So you 'do the right thing' and jump to its defense despite the fact that what it seems, you didn't watch it yourself. Surely you'd have something more to say about the movie itself than "haters didn't watch it" if you did, wouldn't you? You definitely didn't watch it.

At any rate, even if too many 1/10 votes from non-viewers was the problem needing correcting, then why'd it take so long for a 'corrected' version of the rating to finally come about? Why didn't it go up from 5.2 to 6.9 in its very first year of release, rather than several years later? If I had to cite one thing, I'd cite the new Ghostbusters movie announced in 2020 being a turning point. After all, the announcement of a movie that promised to be along the lines of what Ghostbusters fans would want to see, and so essentially apologizing for the last movie AND rewarding the 'toxic incels' with something they want, caused no end of consternation to feminists. After the hard work they put into to shilling for Grrlbusters (via ugly hit job on those critical of it), the new movie naturall felt like a personal attack on THEM (what goes around, comes around huh losers?). So they attacked back. And isn't it funny how these attacks against GB 2021 - including from the moron Leslie Jones herself who compared the movie to of course, TRUMP - were somehow acceptable?

Are there many people who would give 10/10 to a movie they don't plan to watch? Well with just any movie there probably wouldn't be too many, but this wasn't just any movie was it? It can't be ignored what was decided was 'at stake' in terms of politics and social agenda, and so if the media is desperately telling people that fake 1/10 votes are being given by 'hateful bigots', then guess what the outraged are going to do in response? Not just the ones who didn't watch but the ones did watch it but didn't actually feel it was quite THAT good.

You see, it didn't matter whether the movie was filmed, written, plotted or acted well or respectful of its source material - none of that was important when there was a MESSAGE to sell. And it had WOMEN now fighting the ghosts! So it grew sort of a 'cult following', but only amongst those who lapped up the media propaganda that the movie was really a CAUSE to be defended against incel manbabies.

Fuck this movie. And fuck Leslie Jones, the femcel womanbaby.

Batwoman is also deeply flawed... do you also give it a "6" ?

THAT IS EXCESSIVE AND UNTRUE.🙂

if you could score a movie 0/10 then that is what this movie deserves.

And that is why imdb have to some how filter out idiot votes when making their average.
Usually by just throwing out all the 1s and 10s i imagine.

no... they are just uptight creeps on the asshole spectrum who impose arbitrary rules like only watching Ghostbusters movies that are not on the same continuity to sate their appetite for the new one.
