7.8?!?! ha ha ha...bloody funny...Lost my faith on IMDB.

this is coming from a guy who gave van helsing 7/10, and said taxi driver sucks. jackkiller obviously knows a good movie when he sees one.

Ok, i just read that you gave Click an 8. Now you're complaining this is rated too high? Enough said. Why do you have so much faith in IMDB to begin with? It's peoples opinions of movies. Everyone has different tastes, yours just sucks, thats all

wow, you're kinda dumb, huh? ... but yes, please go away, its better for all of us.

As others have pointed out, the rating is based on the votes of other users, so blaming IMDB for it seems silly.

Regardless, I thought the movie better than you, but I'm not basing that only on what I figured out ahead of time. Sure, I can usually come up with some (or many) of the twists beforehand (depending on the movie), but there are other factors too:
- How well is the story told? In this case, I found the story entertainingly told.
- Did the actors do a good job? I thought so.
- How was the dialogue? Quite good, I thought. Banter between Josh Hartnett's & Lucy Liu's character after they first met was a good example -- crisp, fun, and unusual enough to be interesting.

Of course, all of this is subjective, so what works for me in a movie may not be your cuppa. If you've found a site that you prefer, it naturally makes sense for you to go there, and perhaps the user base there will be more on your wavelength.

It's been a while since I seen this but after seeing it I thought it was less then average. The main reason why people may rate this as 7.8 or better is because of the cast and not the story or dialogue. I remember timing how long Josh Hartnett was running around in a towel and I think it's around an hour. I guess that's what makes a movie good these days. I give it a 5.5/10.

Ratings, of movies or anything else, are idiotic, and anyone who chooses what to watch or whatever based on ratings is an idiot.

This movie, to me was pretty good but to others might be a different story and that's my point. My taste differs to that of others. Some people love stage masterpieces like Ben Hur, Cleopatra etc and others might like the pop corn flicks like Matrix, Transformers etc. There's no point crucifying those who loved this film because YOU think it's a trash-can filled with plot holes.

IMDB ratings are based on the cumulative scores by users. This system and probably any other system are not perfect. Gone with the Wind is scored at 8.2 and ranks 167# of the top 250 films in IMDB while The Dark Knight is rated at 8.9 and ranks 7#. This is a prime example where rating gone wrong but however looking at it, GWTW is an old film from 1939 and not many would have heard of it. Coupled with the long 4 hour viewing time. I don't think many of the young generation would have liked it or considered it a masterpiece and that it deserves a higher ranking than The Dark Knight.

In IMDB if the majority love the film and rate it high then that means it WILL have a higher ranking. If you are in the nish then there's no point turning this into a e-War. Personal preferences are down to you, nobody will force you to watch something if you don't want to and the same goes with the ranking as majority of people rank them according to how much they liked them. Only in IMDB where Twilight is rated at 6.0/10. It deserves a lower rate IMHO :P
