I wouldn't base any statistics on IMDB ratings, they're garbage.
Just look at how many awful amateurish experiments there receive spectacular 10 star reviews within days of their release, very likely by cast and crew friends/relatives (or worse), then are buried by 1 star reviews when actual viewers eventually watch them.
- akvadrako 5y agoYou have to look also at number of reviews. Then it's mostly Indian films which get ridiculous user ratings.
- blablabla123 5y agoDo you maybe have an example? I'm always astounded how well the IMDB score matches how likeable a film is (minus personal preferences of course). 5 is basically always really bad unless I'm a fan of a specific actor/director/genre. The comments are mixed, the comments below the YouTube trailers tend to be quite on point though to see if a film is worth watching
- justinclift 5y agoIMDB seems to be widely abused these days for marketing purposes. eg fake high ratings to try and mislead people into giving them a try Examples in point (both exceptionally terrible, but with very fake high ratings): * https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13668894 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13668894 ("The Book of Boba Fett") * https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9170108 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9170108 ("Raised by Wolves")
