LotR Takes Top Spot on IMDB

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the enjoy-it-while-it-lasts dept.

Dwarf_Sibling writes "Hard to believe but with over 11,000 votes tallied LoTR:FoTR has displaced "The Godfather" as the highest rated movie at IMDB. Over time I'd guess this will fall lower, but this is an amazing accomplishment for a fantasy movie."

    No one should be allowed to rate movies until one has seen a broad enough range of movies to make a valid judgement. ......
    Only then can a reasonable judgement of what is really "the best" be offered.

    Wow, pompous'r'us. To paraphrase,

    You can't know if you enjoyed a movie unless you have watched lots of movies.

    Or you can't know if you've enjoyed a meal unless you've eaten in thousands of resturants.

    Or you can't know if you've enjoyed a walk unless you've walked in hundreds of countries.

    Or you can't know if you've enjoyed a sunset unless you've seen thousands.

    You must be an expert to make these judgements because otherwise you're not qualified. And god knows what would happen if we let unqualified people judge movies/walks/meals/sunsets. People would watch other people enjoyed instead what the experts told them was good - and that would be anarchy.
