Reply to comment by Adventurous_Buffalo6 in Rotten Tomatoes is the most rudimentary dumb rating system available by Adventurous_Buffalo6

The problem is movie studios use shills to fill IMDB ratings with 10’s and critical users use shills to fill them with 1’s. IMDB is very-much bottom tier when it comes to rating manipulation.

IMDb isn’t terrible but you’ve got to take it with a grain of salt.

Nerds review bombing things over their various dumb outrages has become a bit too common on IMDb lately too.

Absolutely this. It seems imdb ratings almost skew to average being around a 7 and anything bad is a 6 or below. All of these sites leave me wanting but some are easier for shills to manipulate.

That’s why the best overall is MUBI. It’s just people who like movies and take it seriously

I just looked into Mubi and they display nothing but art house and classic films on the site. Can’t even find user reviews. How is this more reliable for major films?
