I think movie rating should have more choices,meaning to increase the scale of voting,for example 0.5, 1.5 , 2.5, 3.5 etc.That would make movie rating even more accurate and would make imdb even more thrustworthy for movie choices.I'm telling you this because a lot of people,including me,think that this would improve the site.
(sorry if my english arent very good :D) and thank you for your time.

It's been suggested a few times before.  Staff says it's not planned.

One thing to think about is, it would invalidate 15 years of ratings and many users would not start over and rate again.  Many people have several thousand titles rated.  It would create a large mess.  Further, it would make voting confusing as it would be hard to remember, over the years, what the user's reason for .5 over a round number indicates.

Some ratings are thumbs up vs. thumbs down (two choices), three stars, four stars, five stars...you've got 10 choices. 20 seems hugely overblown and difficult to apply consistently.
