A lesson learned - don't take movie database scores/reviews on faith!

Rating: 1/10 (29 August 2018)

Warning, this review contains a rant with lots of exclamation marks!
Okay, so yesterday evening, my youngest daughter and I had some pizza, and were looking for something to watch on television. I couldn't find anything, so I looked to purchase a movie from one of the digital movie streaming websites. I looked on on THIS movie database (because I used to trust it), and with a score of 8.6 and so many initial 10/10 reviews, I went against my better judgement and purchased the digital copy of Avengers: Infinity War for £13.99. That's the last time I trust THIS movie database!
I felt hoodwinked, and most definitely conned. This morning I had another look at the reviews, and observed that after the initial 10/10s, the rest of the reviews were 1/10. In retrospect, whilst this website perpetuates itself as having integrity in its reviews/ratings, it is my opinion that it is little more than a mechanism for generating sales for movies that under normal word-of-mouth conditions would tank. I feel so angry with myself.
The movie itself is a mish-mash of many different themes, and tries way too hard to be serious. I don't watch these movies for that - if I want serious, I'll watch Heat, Goodfellas or any other number of good thrillers. Why oh why would Marvel screw with the feel good formula of 'Guardians of the Galaxy'?
To sum up, it is my opinion that Avengers: Infinity War should have failed, but didn't - largely due to the manipulation of reviews and information. And I doubt very much if this interference of information was made for free!
If you believe the Avengers are a real, you might actually like this movie - everyone else will likely feel a little low. And to be honest, who needs that in this day and age? If you want to watch some misery, save your money and watch the news instead!
