Arrival : Any crap is getting 8.1 on IMDB nowadays, really?!

Any crap is getting 8.1 on IMDB nowadays, really?!

What a boring and banal movie! After some 3/4 of non-sense, poor writing and lack of anything good, BOOOM! The alien language offers the capability to see the future and that gives the movie like one thousand layers of depth!? Come on, give me a break! What a puerile and poor twist!

Re: Any crap is getting 8.1 on IMDB nowadays, really?!

just rate it with 1 so people would see how bad this movie is

Re: Any crap is getting 8.1 on IMDB nowadays, really?!

I second that! So bad.

Re: Any crap is getting 8.1 on IMDB nowadays, really?!

Definitely a very disappointing film . Had high hopes going in . Hoping for an " interstellar " type picture .

Re: Any crap is getting 8.1 on IMDB nowadays, really?!

Yeah, that ending was so contrived and left me wondering so what? The rest of the film doesn't even some close to living up to its own self importance.

Trying to create a channel based on interpreting, reviewing, and even giving you something to laugh about film. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance.

Since you posted this it is now up to 8.3 as an aggregate score of 124000 ratings, so someone likes it. I guess I saw a different film to you.

I was going to post this topic but I can see that there are already a few.

I can only assume that there is some kind of spam or mass retardation with the IMDB rating system of late. Previously you could get an idea if a film was going to be worth watching by the rating (give or take 1 star).

However, this is the first movie that is way off the mark, it is, in one word, Boring. For me it was only worth 6.5 at best.

Not to say there are no good points, visuals, little twist, music score... yeah all well and good.

But let's be realistic, it is just a film about a giant egg with a fish tank inside.

Re: Any crap is getting 8.1 on IMDB nowadays, really?!

there is one movie that will be in cinemas in April and it has 100 000 rates on imdb already:) haha
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4776998/
so, you can tell it is compromised, or when movie companies make fake accounts on imdb, before movie is realized and they give themselves 10s or amazing reviews:)

Re: Any crap is getting 8.1 on IMDB nowadays, really?!

Completely agree with you. Movies like this make me wish imdb had a negative scale as well.

Yeah, it does seem like it's becoming more common that movies are scoring up around a 8.0/10 even though they are not THAT great in most cases.

i think with this particular movie it's mainly carried by the visuals/mood of the movie more than anything else. i gave it a 6/10 (a mild Thumbs Up). it's a movie i liked overall and will re-watch it from time to time at this point but it's nothing special.

but anyways, i generally see IMDb average scores like this in terms of wide opinion...

4.x/10 and less = largely disliked by the vast majority of people.
5.x/10 = generally negative opinions
6.x/10 = mixed options (could be a little more negative or positive depending on which side of the 6's it's on)
7.x/10 = generally positive opinions

high 7's on up = the more praised movies.

but ill add this real quick... given that info i have noticed that unless a movie has a average score of at least a 6.x/10 chances are it won't be nothing special for me either as there is only six movies i have seen with a 5.9/10 or lower rating that i gave a 7 or higher (and special status starts at a 7/10 for me). my lowest 8 has a 6.1/10 average, my lowest 9 has a 6.3/10 average and my lowest 10 has a 7.5/10 average.


but with that said... there might be exceptions as like i was saying it seems some movies can score well into the 7's fairly easily nowadays around here but i suspect it's probably because more and more people are spamming high scores for movies that they don't even think are THAT great.

all i ask when people rate movies is simple rate them honestly based on how overall enjoyable to watch in relation to all movies you have seen. so basically... the more enjoyable a movie is to watch the higher the score and further they get away from that the lower the rating. so it makes no sense to spam high scores like 8's, 9's, 10's on movies that are nothing special for you in relation to all movies you have seen.

the vast majority of movies are nothing special as most movies i see get either a 5/10 (Thumbs Down. but usually decent enough for a viewing but has no re-watch appeal) followed by a 6/10(a mild Thumbs Up) which make up roughly 7 out of 10 movies i see in the long term land on one of those two scores.

my rating scale is basically like this...

7-10 = these stand out from the pack. these tend to see the most re-watches in general. (only ten movies scored a 10/10 for me, 9/10's only 19 movies and so on)
6/10 = i mildly like these and do re-watch them.
5/10 = middle-of-the-road. these are usually alright enough to see once but not a movie ill see again (with rare exceptions) which means it's ultimately a Thumbs Down.
4/10 = below average
2-3/10 = failure and/or boring
1/10's = almost nothing lands here as i basically reserve this score for movies i greatly dislike.

p.s. only 201 movies out of the 2,025+ total movies i have seen scored a 7/10 or higher for me. i still like 6/10 range movies though and do re-watch them but they don't stand out as much as my 7's and higher do.

Re: Sigh

I gave it an 8.

If my estimation is correct, I suspect 'Arrival' will have a rating closer to 7.8, in the future.

Re: Any crap is getting 8.1 on IMDB nowadays, really?!

I have learned NOT to trust IMDb movie ratings. They are too easily tilted by people with agendas and that says nothing about the film itself. IMDb ratings are BS.

However, this film was 10/10 for me. Sorry you thought it was boring and banal.
