Why this film is rated no.1 on imdb

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2001)

If you hadn't already noticed, the newer films generally get higher ratings. Due to more users on the site and peoples willingness to rank something they just saw and loved. If this site was running for 100 years already you could be almost certain that this film would only just make the top 100. Think about it, how long ago did you see Star Wars, and had you rated it then you know it would have been 9 or 10.
I enjoyed the film as expected, but come on really, did it move you. Most likely not. If flashy effects and piss poor character development are your bag then good on you. It was a great film but when the people on this site somehow factor in dates etc to the rating process we will see the real no.1, and i bet my hat it isnt this.
Great film worth seeing on the big screen, scenery is amazing, guess thats what happens when you film in New Zealand. 8/10
