Many people I know praise IMDb and judge every movie that comes out based on the hailed IMDb user ratings. But I can’t stand the site, unless of course I’m looking up trivia to the Fresh Prince of Bellaire :).

I recently looked up the movie Vantage Point (I was desperate to get a taste of my beloved butter-dosed movie theater popcorn) because it did look like a fairly exciting movie. I first went to the GREAT IMDb…There I saw a rating of 7.2. That’s a pretty good rating, and on a weekend that consists of Jumper, Fool’s Gold, and Step Up 2, I decided Vantage Point may be the movie for me.

Now, although I usually don’t go to RottenTomatoes.com second, I did this time, and was completely turned off to the movie. RottenTomatoes gave the movie a rating of 33%! For comparison, Step Up 2 got a rating of 27%…So why am I…
