I agree with you to some extent about the imdb ratings being a good indication of how much I'll like a movie, but some of my favorite movies (like tideland) are rated under 6.5. If you really won't watch something because of the rating on imdb you're limiting yourself way too much. That said I proudly rated this movie a 1 without ever having or ever wanting to see it. The show is bad. The portrait it paints of these women is immensley sad. Their whole lives revolve around men and being morbidly afraid of dying alone.... and also curbing these horrible horrible fears with an addiction to shopping and random sex. I don't know, to me shows like this set the women's movement back way further than anything else I can really think of. And yeah sarah jessica parker is hideous. It just goes to show that in hollywood, being skinny and blonde is enough. “Lower than a 6.5 isn’t even worth watching.”

That would be like trusting digg for your news. You're looking at movies (or news) through a filter. The user base of imdb piles onto a movie that they haven't even seen and make a judgment just from trailers or silly internet buzz. And the imdb ratings are obviously heavily skewed male - what else would you expect for a show (SEX AND THE CITY) that was successful because of women? The joy of film criticism and film discussion is disagreeing and liking different movies. Part of the what made Siskel & Ebert fun to watch was for when they disagreed. Imdb ratings are best left for people that need a sequential order of every movie they've ever seen and where they rank. That's about as interesting to me as sorting my underwear by color scheme.

REALLY! I find IMDb, is the worst indicator for a film's content (then again is there such thing as an accurate representation?), seeing as the majority of votes are cast by trolls (Transformers was averaging something crazy like 9.0 when it was first released...) or pathetic site viewers that instantly vote a film 1 or 10 without even seeing said film because it's; 'going to be bad' or 'da best guy/film/comic/everything evar?!?!'. I believe one man once said; assumptions...are the mother of all f*ck ups. “I’ve always found the Internet Movie Database user ratings to be a pretty accurate indication of film quality.”

If a movie has a 7.0 or higher, most likely I'll enjoy it. 7.5 or higher usually means a very good film. 8 or higher usually means a great movie. Lower than a 6.5 isn't even worth watching.

My statement is for the power and knowledge of crowds when there is a large enough sample. Right now the sample is too small, and the obvious mob mentality has overtaken the rating. But It was interesting enough to make note of. But by far IMDB user ratings are a more accurate indication of film quality over rotten tomatoes or metacritic.
