Re: Ridley Scott is overrated as a director
The audience score is just too prone to trolling. I can recall numerous times that a bunch of people started dropping 0 percent scores on a movie because of idiotic incel crap, or political anger.
Now depoliticized.

Don’t make me come out in this cold to your place to throw down.hepcat wrote:"Were" being the key word here. See Star Wars 1 through 3.
Star Wars 1-3 were visually interesting but the plot was weak and self-indulgent. Which proves my point that a lot has to come together for the movie to be great.

Plus, I know your love of Jar Jar sometimes overrides common sense.

Re: Ridley Scott is overrated as a director
I actually do pay attention to IMDB ratings in one respect - they tend to trend lower than the critical average, so when I see an IMDB rating over 7 I sit up and take notice. If it's a horror movie, I take a close look at anything above a 6.
Individual ratings are useless, but aggregate ratings can be a useful tool as a yardstick for comparison.

It's almost as if people are the problem.

Hard to believe Star Wars was originally an indie film...
