Poll Suggestion: The 10 Most Negatively Voted Movies by IMDb Users

@Maxence_G​ Thanks for sharing, you could be right about that.

@GabrielFox​ I agree. While none of these are Oscar contenders here. I have seen six of the ten, five I gave three or four ratings. I gave Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (2011) a six rating and I can't say I am a fan. Even some of critics disagree on a few, literally doubling the rating given on IMdb, usually the IMDb rating is higher and more forgiving than the critics.

I agree with your comment.

I still disagree with how this poll is structured in the details, you only can give a movie a low vote, not a negative vote, if you claim a low vote of 1, 2, or 3 fits the profile. The title should make a more accurate claim, "The 10 Lowest Voted Well-Seen Movies by IMDb Users" Maybe, you should set the vote parameters @ sub 3.0 movies, with a minimum of 50k IMDb votes and a sub-40 Metascore. All your claims in the notes are exagerated in every instance. For instance, almost 8 thousand IMDb voters gave 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never' a 10/10 vote, yet you include all these voters in your claim of "77 thousand IMDb users have given their negative vote" In reality, 61k voters gave a 1 vote, 1.3k voters gave a 2 vote, and 0.8k voters gave a 3 vote for only a total of 63k voting the movie 3 or lower, not the 77k you claim that view the film negatively. Here is a better search list to pull from with 37 well-seen (25k) viable titles in the 1 or 2 range : https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature,tv_movie,video&user_rating=1,3&num_votes=25000,2147483647 I don't think the brown Metascore movies that are rated 40 or above should be included on your list, ie 'Snow White', 'Dragon Ball Evolution', or 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never', as I believe their vote totals to be suspect, their totals are a product of bot voting rather than IMDb voters themselves. Other Possibilities (that are More Universally Accepted as Bad Movies) Gigli (2003) with 52k / 2.7 IMDb rating and a 18 Metascore Cats (2019) with 58k / 2.7 IMDb rating and a 32 Metascore The Date Movie (2006) with 64k / 2.8 IMDb rating and a 11 Metascore Son of the Mask (2005) with 61k / 2.3 IMDb rating and a 20 Metascore Alone in the Dark (2005) with 48k / 2.4 IMDb rating and a 09 Metascore

Now it's totally accurate. I change the title from 'The 10 Most Negatively Voted Movies by IMDb Users' to 'The 10 Most Voted and Lowest IMDb Rating Films' In the intro I include the parameter I used 'IMDb rating under 3/10 stars with at least 75,000 votes on IMDb'. The 10 films of this poll is the result of those parameters. Thank you for your suggestions to make this poll as accurate as possible.

I would disagree. I don't think all these titles' ratings are the product of IMDb voters, but rather some are the product of non-human bot voting. I have seen 8 out of the listed 10 titles, and would disagree that movie goers voted 'Disney's Snow White', 'Radhe' and 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never' poorly. Hundreds of thousands of voters on Rotten Tomatoes had a completely different take. It makes no sense that movie goers on two sites aimed at the general movie going public would have completely different takes, and should be a red flag that one these results is suspect. The fact my own votes align perfectly with the Rotten Tomatoes' Popcornmeter support that claim that the IMDb aggregate voting totals on these three films is flawed. Common sense also should come into play, as for a movie to be voted 2.0 or lower would require 90% of the voters to vote 1 to offset the remaining 10% that are voted in 3-10 range. It seems unlikely that a result like that, that hasn't manipulated artifically, would even be mathematically possible. Disney's Snow White IMDb rating 2.0 My vote 7.0 Rotten Tomatoes 70% Popcornmeter Radhe IMDb rating 1.8 My vote 6.0 Rotten Tomatoes 61% Popcornmeter Justin Bieber: Never Say Never IMDb rating 1.7 My vote 6.0 Rotten Tomatoes 66% Popcornmeter

If you disagree with IMDb's rating, you should contact IMDb and let them know what you're saying to me so they can correct the rating. Once IMDb do it, I'll change the poll options according to the new ratings. Right now I'm simply showing the data IMDb provides; this poll is based on those facts, not assumptions.

The question is IF they really can correct that rating. Maybe it's very much work to find out which is a bot rating and which is a real user rating. I don't know how the mechanism works to find out how many bot ratings there may be. But I myself just look at it and can only shake the head. The guys at Disney are professionals who wouldn't agree to release a movie that would really be crappy like that. I don't believe that. Disney also has mediocre movies, yes. I'd agree that, but 2.0 seems incorrect. If it really was that bad, I guess some guys at Disney would have to take their hat and leave. But it seems realistic that it's manipulated. There are more than a few people who don't like Disney. Some even abhor it or hate it. Look at the w.a.r.s around the world. Also a p.o.l.i.t.i.c.a.l incident could maybe trigger i.n.t.e.r.n.e.t. a.t.t.a.c.k.s. from other countries.

The other red flag that these three movies are overwhelming the product of ballot stuffing and manipulation, is that they don't follow a normal pattern of vote distribution that all the other movies have (bell-curve, upswing, downswing). These type of probability distributions apply to all types of measured data collection. If you click on the vote on the main title page, it will detail these vote distribution patterns and these non-manipulated movies all have a more natural gradual drop-off from 2-10 range upward that you see in movies with large vote totals that is more logical. Movie With Not Manipulated IMDb Vote Totals Disney's Snow White IMDb rating 2.0 My vote 7.0 Rotten Tomatoes 70% Popcornmeter Radhe IMDb rating 1.8 My vote 6.0 Rotten Tomatoes 61% Popcornmeter Justin Bieber: Never Say Never IMDb rating 1.7 My vote 6.0 Rotten Tomatoes 66% Popcornmeter Movie With Not Manipulated IMDb Vote Totals Meet the Spartans IMDb rating 2.8 My vote 3.0 Rotten Tomatoes 25% Popcornmeter Battlefield Earth IMDb rating 2.5 My vote 3.0 Rotten Tomatoes 13% Popcornmeter Epic Movie IMDb rating 2.4 My vote 3.0 Rotten Tomatoes 29% Popcornmeter Disaster Movie IMDb rating 1.9 My vote 3.0 Rotten Tomatoes 21% Popcornmeter Even movies that are very polarizing that have a high percentage of 10 and 1 votes, have a normal vote distribution that has a more gradual drop-off in voting from the 1 votes (2-3-4-5) and the 10 votes (9-8-7-6). All the empirical, anctedotal, and cross-checked evidence support the case that those three films are the result of ballot-stuffing. It is nearly impossible and unlikely that a movie is rated in the 9-10 range or the 1-2 range because of these normal distribution patterns, unless their vote totals have been manipulated. Plus, movies that are bad, see an immediate drop-off in box office and exit theaters after a week or two, once the word gets out. These movies had extended box office runs and staying power that continued to draw. It is illogical that moviegoers in masse would purposely spend their hard-earned cash go to see known bad movies, week after week.

When IMDb changes the rating, I will change this poll option.

"Our rating mechanism has detected unusual voting activity on this title." Manipulation, maybe?

I guess it isn't clear if really people reted that or bots. I cant believe that Disney would release a movie, so many people would rate with 1/10. For me that stinks.

As I said before: I change the title from 'The 10 Most Negatively Voted Movies by IMDb Users' to 'The 10 Most Voted and Lowest IMDb Rating Films' In the intro I include the parameter I used 'IMDb rating under 3/10 stars with at least 75,000 votes on IMDb'. The 10 films of this poll is the result of those parameters.

Beside of any eventual manipulations: There is no voting about these movies. If you try to make it political, it would say deselected or not elected. But even that would be wrong. If you try to connote it to the polls - where voting it the right term - I'd say too less people know about the poll section. And the others who vote would certainly think: "They are very self-centred. That's odd, somehow!" That's how I see it.
