Bad film with a purchased IMDb score

Rating: 3/10 (7 April 2017)

Let's be honest: The film is pretty bad. I was almost laughing in parts where humour was not the film-makers intention. I came on here to read some of the reviews as I remember when I added this film to my watchist it had a high IMDb rating. What could others possibly have seen in this film that I didn't? Well, not much apparently when you work your way through the obviously fake reviews with some being so brazen as to repeat the exact same review a previous fake profile had already submitted. The site is rampant with them! The same must be the case with the Metacritic scores where certain reviewers are obviously being paid off. How sad, really. The director also produced the film and I see it has grossed millions already. It's a great money making tactic.. you have money so you can put it into making a bad film, then invest more money in buying Metacritic scores and fake IMDb profiles to boost its ratings and create a hype around the film, ensuring enough people will see your film in order for you to turn a hefty profit. This experience has soured IMDb for me. It's a great source for creating your own lists and exploring films, but take the IMDb ratings, reviews and even the Metacritic scores with a grain of salt.
