Is IMDb losing its credibility for Bollywood movies? - Page 2

rotten tomatoes is far more reliable..IMDB is absurd

IMDb was always manipulative

But anything can be

chappaak was an avg movie. nothing to rave about.

It has no credibility since long time. Only difference is people used to deliberately downvote movies in the past now for a change a positive thing is happening. It has less to do with movies and more to do with sentiments of the audience.

Chapak and Baaghi 3 are bad movies. I am a Deepika fan and it is the worst movie she has ever done. Baaghi 3 has the worst story- a man against entire country.

RT is poor for BW reviews since they round up so few and there's not much consistency in amount or source.

Their audience reviews (at least in the U.S.) have finally stopped being tampered with since they tied them with ticket purchase from Fandango.

As for IMDB, after The Dark Knight came out - higher rated movies were spammed with low scores to allow TDK to move to #1 so they tried to fix that with weighted scores. But all it does is give more weight to spammers who vote on a lot of movies. Just click on a score to a movie and if you're seeing more than about 5% of 1s- unless it's a complete dud - in all probability the movie has been spammed to get the score down. The voting source also skews male (mostly from ages 18-35) often 3-5 times more votes than from women and because they vote more often those individual votes get weighed heavier than women's individual votes.

After seeing the trailer of Baaghi 3 I was like WTF?? Kuch zada nahi hogaya? “Tumhari country ko map se mita dunga”something like this dialogue made me so angry!!!Imagine koi India ko leke aise bole toh hum toh uska kaleja chirdenge😡 So how come you can say something like this for another country??? Rubbish movie
