Why low score on IMDB?


As of October 10, 2014, the movie only has a 6.5 on IMDB. This is way too low. Idiocracy is such a unique funny movie, should at least have averaged into the 7.0s!

Dumb people watch it and say "Dat aint right" and score it low.

Or maybe they just didn't like it.

I see you're also a animal-rights zealot. Is that where you take your stand? For dumb people and smart animals???

What did I say that makes me a zealot?

Its satire and satire often goes over people's heads.

I enjoyed it much more upon a recent second viewing. I didn't like it when it was first released cuz I had such high expectations based on Office Space. But this is one of those movies I enjoy much more the second time around.

The satire is lost in the sheer stupidity of the characters and the story. I understand what it's trying to do and all one has to do is log on to Facebook to see that 500 years is an overestimation but this movie just can't get past its own stupidity.

People got offended because they felt they were being mocjed.

Tyler Perry and Larry the Cable Guy fans most likely.

Honestly, it's too dumb if you're intelligent. The satire is interesting, but the world and its characters make no sense. And then there's the plot...

At points, how shoddily it's thrown together as a motion picture overshadows its qualities as a satire.

Watch as ten more "it'z cuzz stoopid people just dint get it lol!!1" comments pour out from posters who actually expect us to believe that they're the pinnacle of intelligence and enlightenment in modern society.

That son of a bitch! Don't get me wrong, he's a fine writer.
