If you want to know what the public thinks about a movie, go to imdb. If you want to know what film nerds think about a movie, go to letterboxd.

I Always found the rating on IMDB totally misleading. I guess they work for the US public, but many good movies have low rating…

Interesting, I use imdb to see if some movies with bad reviews are actually still worth watching. Like I don’t really care if there’s a bunch of plot holes if the movie is actually fun to watch and imdb is usually more forgiving in that way.

I mean it’s just random people giving ratings. So the rating is about how large audience likes it, and a lot of movies are not intended for the large masses so in imdb they get a bad rating because the large mass of generic people didn’t like it
