Yeah. I have found Rotton Tomatoes to be more accurate. They don't even give a user rating average on IMDB do they?
Yes, an average rating is listed, which is why I look at the histogram of the ratings. You can almost always dismiss the 10s, because they seem to be from bots, and just look at the general distribution, but because of the effects of bots, there is usually a very narrow range of votes, such that a really good movie might show a mode at 8, and a not so good movie a mode at 7, with a really terrible movie showing a mode at 6. I read the "regular people" reviews to get the best indication of whether it is worth watching, particularly if that review has a bunch of past movies they have reviewed, and if their taste aligns with mine, I would consider their review a good gage of whether I would want to watch it. I have found, for me, that if it is an R-rated comedy, I'm going to be pretty turned off by it (it will be so full of F-bombs and generally degenerate behavior that I just cant see past that to enjoy whatever comedy may be there). R-rated action movies are a different matter.
Interdasting. Do you have a link to the average rating for audience listed? Or the histogram?
Here's the histogram for "Tango and Cash" (1989), a movie you would probably be mad about paying for at a theater, but is moderately entertaining for free :)

You can search any movie on imdb, and then when you select it, click the average rating box which will open the histogram and a breakdown of average scores for various age groups, foreign vs us, and men vs women.
Wow i didn't know you could do that. This is cool you can see which age groups liked it as well. Thank you anon!
