Just three years ago this film had a 7.9, which I thought was shockingly high since most people act like this film is garbage. I've always liked this movie so I was okay with the rating. However, that rating is going down fairly fast. Disney SW fanboys downvoting the prequels to blame?
shareI would guess that new people are discovering the old Star Wars movies from IV-III (weird circuit that encompasses six movies in two numbers...) and they're rating them. Some of that might be fanboyism, but frankly, 7.9 seems high for this. Really high, in my opinion. So, a wave of new people discovering the film and even rating it 6 or 7 (a more "this was a pretty good movie" kinda score) would result in that number ticking down.
shareI disagree honestly enjoyed these movies way more than the newer ones which have similar imdb ratings
shareIMDB ratings are a complete joke nowadays. No one should take them seriously. If you look at the top 250 movies and TV shows over there, you'll see what I mean. Practically 50% of the top TV shows of all time are anime and stuff like Cowboy Bebop ranks higher than The Twilight Zone. Bollywood movies are 20-30 points higher than, say, Gone with the Wind. It's a ridiculous website now.

I hadn't even noticed. It is very strange indeed. It maintained a steady 7.9 for over a decade. I've never seen a longstanding rating drop like that. Definitely suspect some funny business going on.
