Re: Does the site take a film's year into account for the PSI?

I can't stand old films You seem to have enjoyed the '69 True Grit according to your rankings though... Haha, whoops. Never seen it, I guess I confused it for the 2010 True Grit at some point. I can't stand old films - my general rule is I don't bother with anything from more than ten years ago, an...

Re: Final Toll for Horror?

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016). Could this finally be the jump the shark moment for horror as a genre. I can only hope. I'm pretty sure it's not a horror, so even if it sucks it won't be horror's fault. I hear the US trailer was really different, but the international one makes it clear it'...

Does the site take a film's year into account for the PSI?

I can't stand old films - my general rule is I don't bother with anything from more than ten years ago, and try to avoid rewatching movies I liked back then. It's pretty simple to filter that on the site, but I just wondered if the PSI system would pick up on my distaste for older movies or just sta...

Re: Can a Film Be Inherrently Boring?

I'm not trying to be mean or rude, but I don't find this description to be very helpful. Without knowing the person writing the review, I have no idea what to make of some a comment. For example, if the person basically only likes action films, then the boring remark may mean little for a person wh...

Re: So far, 2016 movies are.....

I've only seen two of this year's movies, and one was pretty good (Deadpool - Tier 8) and the other was great (Zootopia - Tier 10)

Going from this dataset, 2016 movies are all going to be a 9 on average :D

Re: Probable score: 100 !

An example like this has four of your favourite films on the first page. This seems like it has more potential to provide similar films, compared to criticker's usefulness as a rating predictor. I feel like a problem I have with Criticker that keeps it from doing the magical thing I want it to is t...

Re: Her (2013) - is it not boring?

So, in conclusion, the long and the short of it is ***drum roll please*** Her is not boring! (I'm glad that's finally settled.) I mean, it 100% is boring to me, , at the very least. I guess part of my problem was that the main character was unlikable from the start, so I had no reason to care bout ...

Re: Her (2013) - is it not boring?

On another forum I used to frequent someone started a thread called 'Is boring a legitimate criticism?' It lasted for about 50 pages. The broad consensus in the end was that it wasn't. I think I probably agree because anyone can say any movie is boring. It doesn't really mean anything. Different pe...

Her (2013) - is it not boring?

I couldn't get through the movie, as nothing but the video game he was playing was remotely interesting. Otherwise just a boring guy saying boring things. I know different people have different tastes and I'm just the one of the outs this time, but it baffles me why the movie has so many really high...
