I'll talk about ratings

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2010)

Many have commented about the movie, I'll talk about ratings !!!
I usually don't bother voting just any movie... I didn't vote Harry Potter (no means it's a bad movie) but I voted District 9.
I was excited about rating this movie from the very beginning, when I first heard about it... Now I finally watched it, I gave a lot of thought before I made my vote.
To me a movie to be considered great firstly, it should be realistic enough in its own nature (doesn't matter it is a movie about an alien or something), the story line should make perfect sense – everything should add up at the end, emotional, the concept should be original and finally the movie should be free of "the good guy never hits by a bullet, only the bad guys do". When I'm watching a movie I like to live in it and be a part...and for the next few days, I like to figure out that those parts of the movie that aren't meant to be too obvious at first. Avatar had all the ticks... On top of this CGI was amazing... no doubt among the best I have seen, the best I have seen in a movie (consider the length of the movie and CGI is almost all what you see) great work !!! .
So, just to make sure I do my rating business right I when through IMDb top 250... and then worldwide box office. I visualized these top movies I have watched and compared them with Avatar...And this is what I thought...
Overall, I thought Avatar is a definite 9 nothing less but not a 10 only because the story line was somehow quite predictable !!! I sort of figured out the story just by watching the trailers but let me tell you this, Avatar is directed so well you almost forget about what's going to happened in the end... when you watch it you live by the moment...
Okay, because I'm talking about ratings here there is something I need to mention which I don't quite understand... I checked the percentage of different ratings made for this movie. I was shocked !!! because some have voted this movie as low as 1 or 2. I don't understand why anyone would vote such a great movie anything below 7... Ridicules, I have to say... Well, I have one theory as to why this might have happened. Maybe these people were confused, and chose not to wear the cheap looking sunglasses given at the entrance to the movie. Hmm... that would explain it wouldn't it!!!
