Why such a low score for this?


I mean, it's getting good reviews so why 5.7? It's not people's cup of tea?

reply

It's being marked down by all the spurned, deceased movies that it's similar to.

I kid. No idea, haven't seen it but I'll keep an eye out for it.

reply

I Really Enjoyed it...I rate it a 6/10 which sounds about right...I rate my watchable movies at 4/10 anything else less is just Garbage!

reply

It's actually become rare and refreshing for me to encounter someone else who fairly and accurately judges films On IMDB these days. Seems like so many people are giving films they enjoyed 10 stars and films they didn't care for 1 star while never using 2-9 stars Some of them are probably attempting to inflate or drag down the rating as much as possible so every score fits their personal preference instead of giving it a genuine and rightful rating. I appreciate your contributions towards trying to keep this site legit!

Metascore is 75, which is quite high and metascore is a much more trustworthy rating than the ordinary one. So the film should be good.

reply

I'm assuming the people that rated the film really low was expecting it to be more of a a comedy-horror, instead of a story dealing with grief, pain, and lost with a sprinkle of cynical dark humor. I really enjoyed the film and didn't have any expectations going into it and founded myself thoroughly enjoying the film. It's hard to classify it in a specific genre.

If you're looking for something that's more focused on the comedy checkout Life After Beth and if you're looking for more of a romance checkout Burying the Ex. Nina Forever is more dramatic compared to those two films.

reply

i disagree. i watched it expecting nothing and got less. it was interesting at first and then went annoying pretty quickly. repetition gallore. this could easily have ben cut down to 30 minutes without losing anything.

reply

5.7 isn't a low score. Jesus, schools these days.

WORDS MEAN THINGS! Also, before you come to bitch about a plot hole, rewatch the show/movie.

reply

For a movie which got pretty good reviews, yes, it is.

Jesus, logic these days.

reply

what do you mean by "good reviews"? i just checked the linked reviews on IMDB and it is all blogs. not a single creditable source. top critics on RT: 3 say fresh 1 say rotten.

reply

Even those top critics o RT are the majority, more good reviews than bad and it has 75/100 on Metacritic.

Better reviews so the rating here is too low.

reply

a 3:1 majority is insiginficant. even RT says the there is no common consens yet.

metacritic has 6 positive reviews and 3 mediocre ones. also insignificant.

you can try to spin it all you want, but apart from a high amount of shills, which is sadly common nowadays for this kind of films, a rather small percentage of professionell reviewers mentioned this film positively.

reply

Because it's really boring. It needed to be a short movie, not a featured film.

Because it's really boring.


I guess that explains the low score for 2001: A Space Odyssey.

reply

that might have been the weakest, most absurd comeback i have ever read.

reply

No, that one is. When you start throwing insults like that you're officially beaten.

reply

lol. that's already an insult to you?

so, you run out of arguments and start crying, hoping that the discussion ends? that's an impressive level of adolescence.

reply

You're the one who talks about crying.

Just because a movie may be boring to someone doesn't make it bad.

reply

"You're the one who talks about crying. "

yeah, because i see your tears run rings and it amuses me.

"Just because a movie may be boring to someone doesn't make it bad."

and because you liked it, that makes it flawless? most people criticize the same aspects of the film. that doesn't come out of nowhere.

reply

Who says it's flawless?

It still got good reviews.

reply

you are the one defending it with your life.

"It still got good reviews."

you were trying to make the impression as if it gotten a hughe amount of positive reviews from relevant sources, which isn't the case. out of 10 professional revoews, 6 were favorable, thats (still) insignifant. even home "alone 4" had a couple of good reviews.

reply

Home Alone 4 didn't get 75/100.

reply

home alone also didn't only get 10 reviews.

reply

Yep, it has 9.

reply

getting desperate, eh?

reply

Hey, you're the one who brought up "it didn't get only 10 reviews" thing, and it turns out it got less.

reply

lol. just looked it up: that's actually true.

ok, the let's take "jawbreaker" instead.

reply

Jawbreaker has a really low score which wouldn't be much higher if it only had 10 reviews.

Nina Forever's score actually improved with more reviews.

reply

I thought the dead girlfriend was semi-entertaining, but otherwise it was just a dull, dreary softcore porno.

reply

horror movies in general get lower ratings on imdb than other genres

reply

Maybe because it is the most droll movie ever? What a frickin' waste of 1-1/2 hours.
