IMDB Ratings Madness

Rating: 5/10 (3 June 2004)

I love this website, but some people's rating of films leaves much to be desired.
So let's see: out of many tens of thousands of raters, this rather lame flick scored a 10 on a scale of 10? Please. What nonsense. It only calls into question the overall quality of the IMDB scoring. There are way too many people who have no idea how to rate on a 10 scale.
I'm just a regular guy who loves movies. This decade I have watched and rated 500 movies, all released since 01/01/2000. Of all these films, I have rated 1 film a perfect score of 10. A ten is a classic film of the highest caliber. To suggest that this Donnie Darko is a 10 is utter nonsense.
For the record, I gave this film a 5 rating. A 5 rating means the film has as much wrong with it as it does right with it. It is an interesting watchable movie with serious shortcomings.
As for you thousands of people who gave it a 10, I'd love to hear how you rationalize that score. No, actually I don't want to hear. Why don't you take a minute to think about what a 10 rating means, before ever using it again.
Cheers...
