- Lots of excellent movies rated below 8 when they should be above 9
- Likewise, lots of crap movies rated above 8
- Marketing companies opening fake accounts to upvote their movies
- Stans opening fake accounts to upvote movies by their favourite actors/directors.
- Voting by Indians with bad cinematic taste. In the IMDB Top 250, a rubbish Bollywood movie like Dangal is rated ahead of masterpieces like Rashomon, Unforgiven, Chinatown, Raging Bull etc (LMAO). Similarly, 3 Idiots is rated ahead of Reservoir Dogs, To Kill a Mockingbird, Taxi Driver etc. Jai Bhim is voted ahead of 400 Blows
- Political polarisation: RW bigots, LW bigots and wokes blindly upvoting/downvoting movies based on political preference.
Absolutely agreed. Back in the days, IMDB ranks were like the golden standard for judging movies. Now, its worthless with "action" genre Bollywood movies and the superhero marvel/dc crap which is meant for kids, and adults with the attention span of a goldfish. I prefer Rotten Tomatoes as it only takes into account the critic's scores.
