    No, because its normal for somebody to rate something 7.5 or 7. When does anybody ever rate using "56%"? Do you tell your buddies, "Hey, that girl is about a 72% ?" Seriously, who does that? I don't see any other folks in this thread rating that way. It just comes off as a little douchy :D . Like the "cool guy" that just has to do it different from everyone else.

    Who cares if he wants to use a hundred point scale over a ten point scale? If anything, it's more helpful to have the bigger scale. It's not like it makes it overwhelmingly confusing.

    Some guy rated Paul Blart as a 7 and also The Wrestler as a 7 in this thread.

    That should tell you right there how much of a fail the 1-10 scale is.

    The rottentomatoes 1-100 or the IMDB 0.0-9.0 scale is probably the best.

    Well those ratings are based on an average of scores, not just one like we are doing here.

    Exactly, Paul Blart is way better.

    I also blame the 0-10 rating scale.

    The International, 7.5/10

    Some dude trying to uncover the 'truth' about the largest bank in the world. Banks purchasing arms and redistributing to 3rd world nations. Controlling conflicts therefore controlling debts. Lacks a good ending.

    OK, RocknRolla gets a 72.3, which is respectable. However, I prefer the other Guy Ritchie films, Snatch (85.6) and Lock Stock (92.3). :cool:

    Rottentomatoes.com and metacritic.com are the only places I go to look at movie reviews, and both sites report their ratings on a 100 point scale. I realize those are collective scores, but my point is that I've been conditioned to think of movie ratings as being on a 100 point scale, and because of rottentomatoes, also as a percentage. It's what seems normal to me now, not different.

    To me, a 100 point scale comes in handy in trying to express my opinion about a movie. If it's that much of an issue for you or anyone else, just round up or down to whatever scale you are comfortable with. It takes about a second, which is a lot faster than typing out a post of unnecessary insults.

    Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem

    I give it a slight thumbs down. Does it's duty as a B-movie.

    Dark City: Director's Cut (82%) - Definitely an "outside the box" type of movie, which I like, but it wasn't so crazy that I felt like it was trying to confuse me. I enjoyed the fashion with which the story unraveled, as well as the changes we witness in the characters as the film progresses. I felt the city itself was extremely well done, as were the "strangers" and the "cueing" special effects.

    I finally saw "Before The Devil Knows Your Dead" after reading reviews in this thread. This movie was incredible. Insanely depressing, but incredible.
