Loony = anyone who says anything remotely positive about ASM and doesn't believe it's a failure that is getting a bad reaction

[JackO]

Didn't look it up. Still don't expect it to get there anyway, especially since less people will end up seeing TASM in the end compared to any of the previous three films.

So I guess it's stuck on that average rating then, huh.

Loonie; doesn't know what the word average means.

[PDC1987]

7.6 is a C. A C is average. Don't know how many tests you take where 70% is good score.

Why are you comparing a rating out of 10 to how school papers are graded? Totally different.

Because IMDB ratings are out of 10. Derp.

Sure? I don't know. I'm not some TASM loonie, but I'm not gonna say oh the film has mediocre WOM when there's nothing to suggest that at this point other than your application of a school scale to something completely different. I'm not impressed by TASM's box office run, but it's done alright. That's about how I feel on the whole matter. Didn't even enjoy the film that much, found it passable.

Batman Begins is only a B- film according to Imdb I guess

[MrPink]

And Ted and the Hangover had average reception too according to IMDB with their C-C+ average scores.

I don't know what else to call something that is consistently in the 7 range on review sites. 7 is average and mediocre.

Wow. The kid is finally learning.

Well, I'd start with decent. Not amazing, not great, but decent. A 7 means nothing unless you put it in context. A 7 in school? Pretty average. But teachers like to give partial credit and the like. They don't make full use of the scale. Sometimes they curve. Film reviewers? Works differently. Edited August 5, 2012 by MrPink

I don't consider the system of movie grades to be the same as school grades. Sure a school may fail you for only getting half the answers on a test right, but if you like half a movie, are you gonna fail it?

The score from Hangover dropped since there opening. Derp. And obviously not everyone in the world is Seth Macfarlane fanboy. Ted has a 7 on Metacritic User Scores. I guess it there is more then meets the ey. e Edited August 5, 2012 by JackO

And how is decent different then average?

[John Marston]

7 is not a good rating for a blockbuster film everyone! Guess you learn something new everydayWhat bullshit

Guys, I'll say it again. Movie grades =/= school grades.

[MrPink]

But that's not the point, if it's in the 7's, it's automatically average, yes even though both of these films have legged their way to becoming two of the highest grossing comedies of all time?

[MrPink]

And how is decent different then average?

Decent would suggest something more passable, average would be strictly in the middle.

Sounds more like superfluous bullshit to me. And you sure are arguing hard for a film you allegedly dont even care about.
