BOTten Tomatoes - Blank's Attempt At An Aggregate Scoring System

[Blankments]

Yeah, I'm trying my hand at one of these. Films are balanced out by not being too high by a certain number of votes being required to avoid handicaps. If you want more details on the scoring system, just ask. Also, if I'm missing a 2013 movie you want in on this list, ask. Here's 2013:

 

1. Gravity - 94%
2. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - 90%
3. Her - 90%
4. The Wolf of Wall Street - 90%
5. Saving Mr. Banks - 89%
6. Frozen - 88%
7. This is the End - 88%
8. 12 Years a Slave - 87%
9. Before Midnight - 87%
10. Captain Phillips - 86%
11. Star Trek Into Darkness - 85%
12. Blue Jasmine - 85%
13. The World's End - 84%
14. Fruitvale Station - 83%
15. Prisoners - 82%
16. Monsters University - 82%
17. Philomena - 82%
18. Oblivion - 80%
19. Iron Man 3 - 80%
20. Fast and Furious 6 - 80%
21. Instructions Not Included - 80%
22. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - 79%
23. The Croods - 78%
24. Man of Steel - 78%
25. American Hustle - 77%
26. Pacific Rim - 77%

56. The Hangover Part III - 40%
57. Identity Thief - 36%
58. Admission - 35%
59. Safe Haven - 28%
60. Free Birds - 25%
61. Grown Ups 2 - 25%

 

I will post 2012 ASAP.

[Dementeleus]

I think you definitely explain how you arrive at your percentages.

[Blankments]

Okay, so...

 

I only look at the poll. Anything else doesn't matter because it simply would take too much time to look at every single poster's grade or score.

An A is 100%

A B is 80%

A C is 60%

A D is 40%

An F is 20%

I average them all together, rounding up to the nearest thousandth, and then look at the total number of votes.

If it has less than 100 votes, I subtract 2%

If it has less than 50 votes, I subtract 5%

If it has less than 20 votes, I subtract 10%

If it has less than 15 votes, I subtract 15%

If it has less than 20 votes, I subtract 20%

 

Then I order them lol. Basically, I did what I've been doing for my top of the 20th Century list, but with added handicaps and for every movie I can think of in a year. Unfortunately, I'm aware this is naturally bias slightly to blockbusters, but I think it's pretty unavoidable considering the main demographic that browses these boards.

[Avatree]

 

If it has less than 100 votes, I subtract 2%

If it has less than 50 votes, I subtract 5%

If it has less than 20 votes, I subtract 10%

If it has less than 15 votes, I subtract 15%

If it has less than 20 votes, I subtract 20%

Why?

[Dementeleus]

It's not only biased toward blockbusters, it's biased toward recent blockbusters. What about simply not including movies under a certain threshold of votes?

[AniNate]

I usually forget to vote in the poll when I post my review

[Blankments]

Why?

Because otherwise we have films with like 6 votes getting 94% over movies that clearly have more love on these forums. Like Nebraska has only 6 votes; it would get 90% with those 6 votes, but is it really fair to place it above The World's End or Prisoners, both of which have about 4 times the votes, but yet end at 89% and 87% respectively. Also, it allows a lower floor, since with 20% going to F films, the minimum any film could get would be 20% rather than 0%, which it would be on an actual aggregate scoring system.

 

It's not only biased toward blockbusters, it's biased toward recent blockbusters. What about simply not including movies under a certain threshold of votes?

This is a good point, but to be fair, I was only looking to apply this aggregate scoring to films released since this site has debuted AKA 2012 onwards. I could just ignore all films under 20 votes if that's preferred, and readjust the scoring. That would look like this then: 

1. Saving Mr. Banks - 94%
2. Gravity - 94%
3. This is the End - 93%
4. 12 Years a Slave - 92%
5. Her - 92%
6. The Wolf of Wall Street - 92%
7. Captain Phillips - 91%
8. Frozen - 90%
9. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - 90%
10. Blue Jasmine - 90%
11. The World's End - 89%
12. Prisoners - 87%
13. Star Trek Into Darkness - 85%
14. Monsters University - 84%
15. The Croods - 83%
16. Oblivion - 82%
17. Fast and Furious 6 - 82%
18. Despicable Me 2 - 82%
19. The Conjuring - 82%
20. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - 81%
21. Iron Man 3 - 80%
22. Lone Survivor - 80%
23. American Hustle - 79%
24. Pacific Rim - 79%
25. Thor: The Dark World - 79%
26. The Heat - 79%
27. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues - 78%
28. Man of Steel - 78%
29. World War Z - 75%
30. Now You See Me - 75%
31. The Wolverine - 73%
32. The Great Gatsby - 72%
33. Elysium - 72%
34. White House Down - 72%
35. Oz, the Great and Powerful - 70%
36. Olympus Has Fallen - 69%
37. G.I. Joe Retaliation - 57%
38. The Hangover Part III - 45%

[4815162342]

I average them all together, rounding up to the nearest thousandth, and then look at the total number of votes.

If it has less than 100 votes, I subtract 2%

If it has less than 50 votes, I subtract 5%

If it has less than 20 votes, I subtract 10%

If it has less than 15 votes, I subtract 15%

If it has less than 20 votes, I subtract 20%

 

 

Sorry but this is kinda wack. I concur with Tele about having a set threshold before inclusion.

[Blankments]

Would it be better if I went

 

100% - A

75% - B

50% - C

25% - D

0% - F

 

?

 

Then, I'll fix everything for the ones that have at least 20 votes. That's what I'm feeling is the best thing to do at this point lol

[Avatree]

You don't need to find an average score. If you want to follow Rotten Tomatoes footsteps then just count the number of votes C or higher and use that percentage. And yes, I agree there should be a threshold. I was asking why so many tiers and why those numbers as they are completely arbitrary.

[Blankments]

I'm just calling it BOTten Tomatoes because it's catchy; I'd much rather have a MetaCritic style of aggregate scoring on this forum. I'll admit they are arbitrary numbers, but it's just the way I was looking at it.

You can't use C as A positive grade

I'll do one more variation of 2013 after this.

[TStechnij]

It hurts my heart for American Hustle to be so low.

[RobinHood26]

Just put an asterisk if it has under X amount of votes

[Blankments]

Just put an asterisk if it has under X amount of votes

 

Yeah, I'm gonna do that with the second scoring system I came up with. Final 2013 count will come later today with 2012 soon after.

I don't understand the A to F rating system.

[Dementeleus]

I don't understand the A to F rating system.

F stands for Fantastic

D stands for Damned Good

C stands for Competent

B stands for Bad

A stands for Awful
