My God! How did they take a fun concept like THE CORE and turn it into such a bore (see what I did there)?! That's why I don't find it to be one of the best bad movies ever made (like most people do): I wasn't laughing at the scientific inaccuracies because I was too busy trying to stay awake.
Any thoughts? Yes, I have a couple:
The poster who goes by IMDB_Vits is among the least credible posters on the IMDb. He gives more "1" ratings than any other rating. Followed closely by "3" and "6" ratings. He gives many clearly fine movies a "1" rating, a fact alone that destroys any credibility in his rating technique.
The simple fact that he would post "1/10 (could have been 0)" makes the rest of what he might say totally meaningless.
Advice - don't waste your time going to his link. "The Core" is not a great movie, all the science is bad science, but it can be entertaining if you are in the right frame of mind for this material. A "5" or a "6" rating, compared to all similar movies, is about right.

NB - About ratings. The system is set up on a 1 to 10 scale. Meaning the average movie of all time, if you could determine that, is rated 5.5. That is not debatable, it is simply the mathematical result. So, a movie fan that watches every movie ever made, if he rated them according to a logical approach, would have "5' and "6" ratings as the most common, and very few "1" and "10" ratings.
If a person attempts to see good movies, and attempts to avoid the really bad ones, his own rating average will be a bit higher than 5.5, maybe 6.5 to 7.
A person who gives more "1" ratings than any other either (1) seeks out only the worst movies or (2) simply does not use any logical approach to rating movies.

You just have a very useless way of rating movies. I can't see why anyone would want to read or see your viewpoints on any movie.

Ummm... To see why I gave the movie its grade? The grade is the least important part; what truly matters are the arguements. If you don't agree with my arguements, fine, but stop focusing on the grade.
shareI will NOT go to your site and read your arguments. Just the fact that you have given more "1/10" ratings than any other speaks volumes, there is no reason to go any further.
If you really had anything interesting to say about a movie you would say it right here. The fact that you want people to go to a website means you know they wouldn't go there if they knew what your main points are.
I have a very low opinion of people who use tricks to try to lure others to their website.

What are you talking about? I posted my thoughts on the movie right here.
shareThe key difference between you and me is this, I respect the filmmaking industry and the hard work that goes into creating a good story, getting funding, getting good actors, and making a finished film that audiences can enjoy.
You do not respect any of that, otherwise you would never say "1/10 (could've been 0)" for a movie that has even ordinary entertainment value. Since the average movie will be 5.5 on a 1- to 10-point system, I can understand and respect opinions that rate a below-average movie 3 or 4, that is personal taste, but a movie that is "1/10 (could've been 0)" would have to be one of the poorest movies of all time and such comes around very rarely.
That is why your opinions have no credibility.

Dont listen to this Vits idiot. He goes around movie wikipedia pages adding his Vits Awards. Check his youtube. The guy knows nothing about filmmaking, just jerkin into his cheapazz mic to make himself feel special.
shareThanks smokzey but I figured that out a while back. No, I've never gone to his youtube, and I never will, just by his comments here I can tell he is not credible.

He is not credible, no. I think he has no idea what filmmaking is. I don't mind ppl starting out and such but it's annoying to see such pretense! and editing Wiki pages? That's just low... who are you VITS, VITS AWARDS??!!! C'mon! At least upgrade ur *beep* mic if u want ppl to listen to your drivel! Punk.
shareI agree with the OP.
share1) The point of Wikipedia is that anyone can erase the info I add if they have a problem with. That's why I put it in the 1st place with no problem.
2) I did get a new mic. Watch the more recent episodes.
You'd rather stick to a black and white math system, as opposed to using the criteria most critics use, even if that means forgiving a terrible movie just for not looking like a home video... and I'm the one that doesn't respect filmmaking? Don't you see that your criteria is an insult to the people who made the best movies of all times? It implies that those people are on the same league as hacks-for-hire who got lucky and made passable movies.
I'd love to live in your perfect world where there's an equal amount of good and movies, but that's just not true. Go to any board in here and you'll find rants about the bad aspects of modern cinema (mainly that there aren't enough original scripts).
