Btw, the IMDB and RT audience score of IW so far is pretty much the best seen for any blockbuster since TDK 10 years ago. 

That's a good discussion point. Why is it so high? Is the audience too easly pleased by seeing stranged talking to man of iron?

 

I think TDK got its rating by being great, while IW got its through fandom.

 

I can understand loving a film but putting iw as a 10/10 just insults actual 10/10s.

 

I say this as someone who enjoyed the film.

Rewatched Black Panther...doesn't hold up.

 

Hopefully it fulfills its role as a gateway to more opportunities for people of colour, because unfortunately it's mid-tier Marvel for me.

Also, hope that people aren't disappointed with a -55% drop for Infinity War because that was the expected range.

 

If it goes as high as $125m I'd say that would be overperforming and a 60% drop would be slightly worrying. I know the band is pretty small, but the #s are quite large so there are distinctions.

Without going into spoilers what would you change about BP?

Gonna need you to sit down for this one.

 

Some people have this thing called an opinion. And sometimes... they have a different opinion to you. Hard to grasp, I know, but it is what it is.

Really ? Easily pleased ?

 

I found it to be a 10/10 because I loved it. Am I supposed to give a F about how it stacks up against other movies ?

Read edited post, inflated score through fandom. No one who isn't a fan is going to rate this 10/10 (as many many have)

 

Amazing film for yhe fans no doubt.

You can rate it as you like, I'm not here to hate (sorry for insult to 10/10 line).

Every time I ever mention my gf in the CC thread Pink goes on a lil rant. But White is a new man, sophisticated and self-assured

The user consensus on IMDb is that The Shawshank Redemption is the best film ever made. Star Wars held the top spot for years before Shawshank overtook it. Quibbling with the rankings on that site is futile. It's detached from reality.

Clearly the best film ever made is Monty Pythons Life of Brian.

Every fiber of my body wants to post that Good Luck Timberlake gif paired with some beat your street ass chewy stuff

 

But I'm SOPHISTICATED now. I gotta focus on the new process.

Honestly, why do you care? I don't really get it. Someone here once said that calling a movie overrated is a fundamentally uninteresting take because you're responding more to the reaction to a film more than to the film itself (I think it was Coolio). I think that's something more people should take to heart.

 

That being said IMDB does generally suck so I don't take much stock in it but the whole "it's not a true 10/10" thing is pretty dumb imo.

[Chewy]

75% of Youtube film critics would call Shawshank their favorite movie. True stat, not made up

[Iron Raf]

Sadly, Black Panther would have been right up there if the ratings weren't f'd around with.

I think this is a conversation for later once the hype dies and box office ends. The reason it matters is because people (not me) use these scores as an indicator that movie X was liked more by the public than movie Y

Anybody who uses IMDB scores as an indicator means you know you can just ignore them

Different people are looking for so many different things- emotional response, payoff for time invested, top of the line craftsmanship, subversive storytelling, etc. Yelling "this one's an 8" "no it's a 4" at each other is banality at its finest

I agree but the problem is the weight attributed to IMDB and RT scores.

 

It's a sad truth but loads use those scores as gospel.

 

I know people who won't watch less than a 8 on imdb.
