Rate The Movie: Final Movie Ranking Blog
By RBT 74 Comments
51 polls, 5000 votes and over a year and a half later; I present the ranking of all major CBMs released in last 20 years. As voted by comicvine.
This blog will only cover the ranking of the movies. Another blog with grouped ranking will be up later.
Parameters used in the blog-
IMdB Rank- Determined by the same formula IMdB uses to determine its Top 250 movies. However, instead of using weighted score, the actual mean score of the movie is used. The only purpose of this rank is to see the contrast between how an average movie goer rates a movie and how users on comicvine do. Which brings me to,
ComicVine Rating- Determined by the polls conducted. The ranking of the movie you are about to see here is based solely and entirely on this rating.
ComicVine Meter- Similar principle as Rotten Tomatoes. Counts all votes valued 1-5 as well as 1/3rd of the votes valued 6 as rotten.
0.01%-53.33% is Rotten. 53.34%-74.99% is Fresh. Anything above is Certified Fresh.
Let the countdown begin.
