Yup, IMDB is full of fanboys or haters, there is absolutely no inbetween. It's a cesspool.
Rate the last movie you watched

I think also problematic is the notion that there is 1 scale.... 0-10 and everything falls on that one scale.
I can find a movie to be "good" precisely because it is terrible in a variety of ways and it winds up being enjoyable.
I don't think I can ever rank Zombie Apocalypse movies on the same scale as Gone Girl or Wind River....
You can't rank Goodfellas or The Godfather on the same scale as Hott Fuzz or Super Troopers....
And then you get into personal preference in various genres.... in general it is tough to have a single 0-10 scale for all movies.
The Room might be a 0/10 movie in general, but it is a 10/10 funny movie lol

Agreed. I really enjoyed Darkest Hour, but I did not like it for the same reasons most have raved about it.
Oldman was hamming, and it was like a comedy to me. I honestly have not had a gut busting laugh at a movie like that in ages.
Probably not since that Nicole Kidman ghost film The Others.

The idea being that one fighter pilot was contributing as much as everyone else in the rescue effort?
IMO Dunkirk is not the place for deep introspection lol
Similar to how I think The Walking Dead writers want everything they write to be many layers of deep reflection on humanity and self.... but it is the fucking zombie apocalypse.

Oh I have to add for Interstellar.... the notion that you could transmit any amount of data in Morse code using a watch hand... I just... wut?
I mean I get the idea, but look at the amount of paper she throws when she goes EUREKA.... yeah that was all transmitted on a watch second hand in morse code... and she missed on zero things and stayed up for however many days it took to get it all down.
You want me to start dissecting your movies Nolan.... you sure?

The Room 2.... same as The Room but it is on another planet where they literally live in a single room.
Re-shoot the same scenes just modified because they are on an uninhabited planet.

Back to Interstellar for a sec. There's no way Mathew McConaughey could go from drinking beers on the porch to juming into a rockey and piloting it to a black hole. I'm sure you'd have to be pretty fit to accomplish something like that. Oh and they didn't tell him, the pilot, about the black hole until they got closer. Get the **** outta here with that shit writing.

I liked it enough for the most part but a few things along the way and the ending kept it from being a Sci-Fi masterpiece. Similar situation to last years movie Passengers. The ending was absurd.

My favorite teams
I liked Interstellar, cried at the end.
Between this and Tarantino, turns out I'm a dope.

I disagree slightly as it relates to Memento & Inception. I think those movies definitely give you things to ponder long after the films end. I am probably in the minority though in that I wasn't that impressed with Prestige, I liked his first 2 batman films, and I liked Interstellar although not because it was a great movie but I like shit that deals with time.

The Dark Knight was an average film with 1 amazing performance by Ledger, that doesn't make it a great film though. I thought Batman Begins was the best of the three, and truly the only Batman film out of the bunch.

Same! Taste in film is subjective, people like what they like.
