What rating is good in IMDb?
If a film gets a rating of 60 or more it gets a ‘fresh’ red tomato on the site. Less than 60 and it gets a rotten tomato. The best films are picked out for a ‘certified fresh’ rating, which usually means the film has at least 80 critical reviews and a rating of 75 or more.

How many movies have been rated by Fandango?
The cleaned dataset has ratings for 214 movies, and can be downloaded from this Github repo.

How does IMDb rank movies based on user votes?
These votes are then re-jigged so that certain demographics (newly-registered users, for example) don’t disproportionately influence the overall ranking of the film. IMDb doesn’t disclose how it re-jigs these votes, but what does mean is that a film’s ranking is not quite an overall average of all its user scores, but it’s probably quite close.
Why do people avoid reading movie reviews?
There are a few good reasons you would want to avoid reading reviews, or watching a trailer, although they bring much more information than a rating.
