Opening weekend in the US and it has totally tanked, taking
just $2.7 million and 11th place compared to the $50.8
million of the village.

I'm sure it will please some people. In fact, according to
the IMDb, over 50% of people have given it at least 7/10.
However, 23% have given it 1/10 so....

although I do vote for films on IMdb, I don't take the
scores very seriously.

especially if you see what's in the top 100.




about a week ago I saw a guy on one of the IMdb boards that
had as a signature: "The Matrix is the Citizen Kane of
our time"
.

that made me laugh.

I would sooner have The Matrix over Citizen Kane any day. At
least I found The Matrix entertaining, Citizen Kane is one
of the most tediously boring films I have ever seen.

let's take the top 10:

1. 9.0 Godfather, The (1972) 99,595
2. 8.9 Shawshank Redemption, The (1994) 122,760
3. 8.9 Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The (2003)
69,829
4. 8.8 Godfather: Part II, The (1974) 58,901
5. 8.8 Shichinin no samurai (1954) 25,266
6. 8.7 Schindler's List (1993) 83,473
7. 8.7 Casablanca (1942) 56,550
8. 8.7 Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The (2002) 90,560

9. 8.7 Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The
(2001) 132,686
10. 8.7 Star Wars (1977)

I'm not even talking about the LotR films - they should drop
in the next ten years or so (don't get me wrong, I really
like the LotR films, but they shouldn't be in the top
10..).

now.. "the shawshank redemption" on 2..? "schindler's list"
on 6? both films are seen as being better than "casablanca".
or "rear window". or "dr. strangelove". or "taxi driver",
etc.

The trouble is that you're measuring it against your own
personal preferences.

The top 100 is an accumulation of the opinions of all those
people who have bothered to vote and is by definition a more
accurate reflection of the views of movie goers as a whole.

While people are inevitibly going to disagree when it comes
to comparing their favourite films with those of other
people, the top 100 (and indeed the whole IMDb rating
system) is a good general indicator of how good a film is
likely to be. Take a film with a rating of 8.0 and the
chances are that most people will indeed find it better than
a film with a rating of 6.0.

I heard from a real life person I know that Thunderbirds The
Movie was pleasantly entertaining, surprisingly.

yeah, I do like to measure other people's opinions to my
own. that's completely warranted if you look to the IMdb
scores whether you'll probably like a film or not, which is
what you seem to be doing.

I see such a big discrepancy between my opinions and how the
average IMdb-visitor rates films, that I put little trust
into that system to tell me whether I might like a film or
not.
