Your Ratings Aren't Doing Anything

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2015)

I just want to say to all you people voting out there that IMDb has a "weighted" way of rating their movies based on votes. That means it's not just the average of all the votes put together. I'm assuming this means that all you folks rating this a 1 or a 10 are probably greatly diminishing the weight of your vote as outliers. This is a shame because most of the reviews i've read are 1's, meaning people hated the movie, and yet the rating, as of now, remains at 8.7.
So if you hated the movie, try to make a proper, unbiased rating. It's not a 1, because it's not the worst movie ever made. Obviously, it's a huge disappointment for a Star Wars fan who desired an actual continuation of the story-line. I think mid-range votes will probably have more sway over the final rating because they seem more objective.
I thought it was a 6. If i hadn't grow up watching the rest, i would think this movie was enjoyable enough on it's own. I actually enjoyed a few performances, it stayed light and fun, and fast-paced, like the original trilogy. Unfortunately, the story-line was exactly the original trilogy. Hopefully the series will move forward from here.
