Bi-level Rating System

IMDB should devise a bi-level rating system, one level for lovers of film and another level for the poopheads who just enjoy being contrary little grenade throwers. Poopheads (those giving less than a 7) would be required to submit reasons they didn't like the film. This alone might discourage baseless ratings. The true fans would not have to execute this chore; an 8, 9, or 10 speaks for itself, and we can discuss our choices in the boards as usual.

Tremors satisfies all my movie requirements: it is a tightly written story, hooking me with fully developed characters, a love interest, and direction that is perfectly focused. Like The Maltese Falcon, after watching it I am sated, happy, and smiling. A 10 it is and now you know why. While you're at it, go ahead and rate this suggestion.

or just remove the rating system as its entirely subjective not to mention pointless. if people wanna see what others think, thats what the message board is for, i never got the point of rating movies on these sorta sites.

because as you mentioned, all it really does is bring on the "contrarians".

that said, its always funny to see the threads that go "how can so and so movie get such and such rating". because yeah, how dare the world not share their opinion....blasphemy!! :P

And then again, some movies are just crap no matter how many people think otherwise, and deserve a low rating. 'Tremors', however, isn't one of them. It's a gem in every respect - no matter how many think otherwise. <G>

I really don"t understand people like you. Everyone has different tastes. I do agree that a 1-5 scale or any kind of rating system is rather pointless because of their different tastes in movies. That' the part that gets me though, just because you and your friends on this board like this film you don't have to talk smack about the people that don't. Who made you the the grand leader's of the movie world??? Oh and by the way I liked this movie. However if the next person does not like it , it does not make either one of us right, or wrong.
