Voting movies 1-10...

[Reek]

Alright, i love the threads of voting how good a movie is...1-10..yes...

but does it not bother anyone that people will sit there a vote a 1? i mean comon. there is a handful, if that many, movies that deserve a 1. POTC: AWE, for example...10 people voted a 1. there is no way in hell anyone ACTUALLY thinks that, and if you say you actually think that, your a liar. the special effects alone deserve better than that. I just think people vote on comparison to what THEY WANTED TO SEE VS WHAT THEY SAW. which believe it or not, has a huge impact on one another. just because you go to a movie and didnt see what you wanted, does not mean its a 1, AKA, crap. maybe im the only one, im sure ill get flamed for this, but i think there is extremely immature voting on these polls, and i dont know about the rest of you, but when i look at a poll 1-10, it doesnt decide whether i see the movie, but its a factor. if i see 75% of the people voted a 5 out of 10, chances are i wont see it. but when i see 100+ people voting a 7 or above, and then see 15 people voting a 2 or a 1, its just ridiculous.

and yes i know i know, everyone has different taste, but voting a 1 out of 10 on some of these movies is just....stupid...

i guess thats just my opinion. whether anyone else agrees or not is on them...had to get it off my chest...

anyone agree?

I don't rate films as 10, however I have rated films as 1.

 

[xwolverine2]

its an opinion....

but yeah... i never vote 1... not unless they are ****.

just look at my rottentomatoes ratings list.. all 1's are pure ****.

 

[Cyrusbales]

People on here rate everything too highly, whatever the thread is, people always gravitate towards the 10.

 

[Reek]

well think about it..the movies discussed on the Hype do no deserve a 1. yes some no namers do. but this just has bothered me for a while...since before i even registered a name on here i have been lookin and been irritated...and with POTC3, it just made me want to ask everyone about it...cause voting a 1 out of 10 is a bit sad to me.

 

[Cyrusbales]

I've discussed Steel on here, that deserves a 1. Crow 4 deserves one also. POTC 2 deserves a 2 or 3 at best.

agreed, but i also think they rate too low as well... IMO theres not many 10 movies, and a handful of 1 movies, and those 1 movies arent even mentioned on the hype.

most movies deserve atleast a 3. and no more than a 8. a 9 if they are great, and 10...well there arent many 10 movies. but saying a 1, and then i read on another thread "wheres the 0"...comon, i dont even need to comment on a 0 rating.

LOL there was a crow 4? i stopped at City of Angels.

i hope you understand what im saying though.

Catwoman, steel, these film deserve the lowest ratings I can give.

The majority of films made are about 3.5, due to the sheer volume of films and the overall bleakness of quality.

I haven't seen a ten yet, a few 9.8's though

lol, yea i think ill give u Catwoman and steel...but still...some of the votes people put are a bit ridiculous...i may have gone a little overboard, but still i sense you get my drift.

 

[Cyrusbales]

People voting too high annoys me more.

POTC 2 deserves a 6 for special effects alone.

 

[Cyrusbales]

Ok, SFX are the icing on a cake, they are not the cake. SFX do not make a film good.

yea i hear ya there too... im using POTC3 as an example obviously...

i voted a 10, mainly cause i just got done watching it and loved it. In all honesty, if i could go back, it would be a 7. maybe an 8 if im feeling saucey . but I, myself, am a perfect example of OVER rating.

but they can make a movie better than a 1.

I think people that give big films that have spent years in development with good actors, good script, good plot, etc...a 1,2, or even 3 are just bratty little fanboys that want attention from the internet where anonymity is commonplace. People who gave SM3, POTC 3, Harry Potter 5, etc...1,2, or 3's were just what I mentioned them as...internet prats. Sure there are movies out there that were just horrible and 99.9% of people hated them and those deserve the 1's, the 2's, and the 3's. Like Monkeybone or EpicMovie for example...those are truly terrible movies that merit no cinematical values in history and do not earn squat at the box office...those IMO deserve those low scores and to see people saying that SM3, Rush Hour 3, X3, HP, etc..etc...deserve equal or lower ratings as some of those films, 2 I mentioned, is just ridiculously idiotic.

Not really, think of the integers as pounds, SFX are the pennies.

I didn't see POTC 3, I avoided it because I was told it was bad and it's predeccesor was tragically bad.

see thats what i was mainly trying to say...i went overboard a little bit, but you just hit the nail on the head. great post.

well i give you that...POTC2 was a dissapointment, but i liked it...however i can tell you AWE is alot better...the last hour of it had some of the best effects and was visually stunning IMO. but i feel the uncut extended versions of both POTC2 and 3 will change alot of peoples opinions....

Special effects give the director/movie maker, unthought of abilities to produce shots and sequences that may not be possible otherwise. I would say today, SFX are a huge part of the equation as we step further into better movie making. Sure SFX aren't all of it and there are some crappy movies with great effects...but great effects are better than crappy effects. I just cannot get into a movie with crappy visuals and even crappier SFX.

 

[Cyrusbales]

So an ok movie with great SFX is better than a good movie with no SFX?

Pennies against pounds.

Did I say that? Re-read my post. I said I cannot get into a good movie with crappy effects. The Queen, Last King of Scotland, etc...are superb dramas that need no SFX. But if a great movie at all uses any effects and they suck...it ruins it for me...it ruins the whole theatre experience. I can stand alright movies with great sequences and great effects because they are just mind blowing. I am sure you don't sit in your theatre and say "HOLY S*** Helen was friggin awesome as the Queen and that speech she gave blew me the f*** away," No. When Optimus Prime fought Megatron, when Spider-Man battled Harry, the Battle of Helm's Deep, the Dumbledore vs Voldemort fight are awe inspiring becuase they are extravagantly beautiful to the eye and SFX were behind them all. SFX are more to the movie going experience than you give them credit for...but I never once said they are everything so don't try to spin it or turn it around on me.

no...im saying "an ok movie with great effects" is worth better than a 1. and a good movie with no effects is worth whatever it is worth. i just think effects do add to a movie...like what was said earlier...people are giving POTC3, SM3, and HP5 1's and 2's, and IMO thats crazy. you cant honestly say there wasnt enough enjoyable scenes in those movies to give it more than a 1.

 

[Cyrusbales]

Never been too amazed by SFX, SR as quite impressive, but the narrative, direction and performances were the bits that made me go WOW.

are u saying WOW as in wow that was bad, or wow thats good... cause i think SR deserves a 6-7...it was enjoyable, but not great, but also not bad...
