What is wrong with IMDB not making it mandatory for votes? I mean the movies have serious bad ratings because of this. Many movies that are very well great are rated low, and many bad movies are rated way high. You go through all the reviews and almost or around half of them have no votes on them except in the text says like ** out of 4 or ** out of ****. What the heck is that? That does not count towards rating at all.

This site is never ever going to have correct ratings for the movies because of this. So sad that this site staff and developers do not want this to be corrected. I bet my whole life alive that this site will never ever have correct ratings and they will never fix it. Feel sorry about it too. Those ones that have no votes should be deleted and redone with mandatory votes, but they do not care about correct votes or ratings at all.

I do not trust any of those reviews. I would rather just see a movie anyways and just ignore any of those reviews. I give up on trusting anything I read on this site because of it.

The "weighted average score" formula doesn't seem to work...

I don't trust any reviews by any other people, unless know them  :)

Voting is always prone to vote rigging or bias (not just on the IMDb)

It's terrible when a minority of haters can have so much power to decide movies' ratings. New and old non regular accounts are having success in skew the rating of The Last Jedi, despite the very good critics.
