Y'all realize Batman vs Superman IMDB score was probably rigged/inflated , right?

[delta]

i see alot of people discussing the RT / Meta score of BvS and bringing up the IMDB score to try to shyt on the critics...

movies (% of people who voted it 10/10)
BvS vote spread (28.4%): Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) - User ratings
Avengers 2 (15.8%): Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) - User ratings
Captain America 2 (15.9%): Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) - User ratings
Man of Steel (14.9%): Man of Steel (2013) - User ratings
Thor 2 (10.1%) Thor: The Dark World (2013) - User ratings
Iron Man 3 (12.5%) Iron Man 3 (2013) - User ratings

Fake or Purchased IMDB accounts are rating Batman Vs Superman 10/10 • /r/movies'
from last week

After a bit of looking into there seems to be something quite... odd... going on at the IMDB page for BvS. I honestly cannot believe no one else has posted anything about this so here's what I've put together.

Firstly, here's the link to the IMDB page for BvS: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) - IMDb . As of now, it is sitting at 8.3 stars out of 10 average for user reviews. Now take a look at the spread of stars so far: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) - User ratings Well that's a weird number of 10/10s. Maybe it's just early fanboyism? OK so what other recent superhero movie with a strong fan following was recently shown and has around the same average rating? Deadpool! So here's Deadpools star spread: Deadpool (2016) - User ratings Seems instantly more balanced... The oscar nominated film "The Revenant" also seems to have a similar spread averaging around 8.2 stars: The Revenant (2015) - User ratings

Now to put in all into perspective for you guys, the Rotten Tomatoes page at the time of posting this is sitting on 34% approval by critics, along with some quite sub-par user reviews as well. IMDB metascore is also sitting at 46/100. But see, what's the first number you really look at on an IMDB page? The nice fat yellow star rating right next to the movie title. Meanwhile the metascore is nicely tucked into the description box.

Alrighty so lets take a look at the user review page: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Reviews & Ratings - IMDb Wow that's some pretty far out claims from people. "A new Era of Comic Book Movies, Batman V Superman Surpases All Expectations" "The best superhero movie of all time" "A complete package" "Amazed, Favourite superhero film of this year."

Bloody hell, the year hasn't even finished yet! Taking a look strictly at the 10/10 and 9/10 accounts, you can clearly see they are tons that are only a few days old with only the one movie review under their belts. I won't spam you with all the user account links, but here's an example of what I mean: dionsheppard's Profile - IMDb

I mean look, maybe this film is just that amazing and everyone rushed home to make an IMDB account to tell everyone, I won't judge until I see the film tonight but I mean, I don't think I've ever known someone to do that...

EDIT: So I've never actually come across this before. For all I know this is normal user review behavior. If I'm completely off the mark here and being a tinfoil hat wearing lunatic, please say so.

hmmm...let's ask them

 

[eufemism]

The desperation



The reaching




But if RT doesn't matter then why do y'all keep bringing it up

 

[Arishok]

But the audience score on RT is 71%

 

[Disgustya Stallone]

you know damn well marvel bought those critics on rt

 

[D-NICE]

Was rated way to low on RT to begin with.

 

[AnonymityX1000]

Why can't DC buy some critics?

That's my whole point... the imdb score looked decent but then you break it down and see an abnormal amount of perfecr scores...

unless we can the RT score distribution, I wouldn't put much stock in it

But its not something exclusive to BvS...pretty much all of these types of big budget tentpole movies follow the same pattern in the early weeks and then over time things tend to even out a little bit more.
By this time next year the spread won't be as wide because more reviews will come in (especially once the blu-ray, cable and streaming releases come out) hat are not fanboys, haters or marketing stooges.
