It turns out that IMDb has a Criticker account. It's just movie rankings from IMDb put into a Criticker account. What makes it interesting though is that it allows me to compare my movie opinions to the general public and not just my peers. That said, It appears I agree with the general public a lot as IMDb is ranked as the 22nd account that I agree with the most. However there are a few exceptions.
Movies IMDb likes but I don't:
2001: A Space Odyssey - Yes, it's a groundbreaking film, but it's also painfully boring.
Sin City - I felt the graphic nature of the film distracted too much from the stories, or in some cases, was the story.
Frankenstein - Once again, it's really not that good of a movie even by 1930's standards.
Planet of the Apes - Sure it's a classic, but it's still kind of silly.
Crash - Too heavy-handed.
The Ten Commandments - This is a movie I should probably rewatch, but won't because it's incredibly long.
The Last of the Mohicans - I must have really missed something in this movie because I don't understand what makes it so special.
Star Wars Episode III - Really? People like this movie?
Watership Down - It's kind of a downer.
Forbidden Planet - Was probably good for the 1950's, but I don't think it has aged well.
Gattaca - Another movie I should rewatch, I thought it was boring the first time I saw it.
Dancer in the Dark - No amount of arguing will convince me this is a good movie.
Sweeney Todd - Boring, forgettable songs which is unforgivable for a movie touted as a musical.
Bambi - It still has no plot!
Movies I like that IMDb doesn't:
Batman (1966) - The makers of this movie knew exactly what they were making and it was campy brilliance.
Death to Smoochy - I'm still surprised to know so many people dislike this movie.
Young Einstein - It's such a fun movie, how can people not like it?
