Movie ratings in collection feature "askew?" - Blu-ray Forum

Riff Magnum · 10-05-2009, 06:13 PM

I just added my purchase of Snow White to my bluray.com collection profile and noticed some of the review ratings looked weird. For example, Bottle Rocket has a review of 5 stars on bluray.com, but in my collection it sits at 4.5. Persepolis on the other hand, sits at a perfect 5, yet when you click on the review it's only 4.5.
What gives?

Are you looking at the "overall score"?

It's taking into account the average of the user reviews, to compile an "overall score", combined with the official blu-ray.com review. Hover over the star rating for the actual score, because sometimes they are rounded to the nearest half-star.

You're right, although "Before the Devil Knows Your Dead" is a weird one. Bluray review is 5.0 (agreed!!). User reviews are at 3.7 (Booo!!!). Combined score is 4.2, but in my profile it still shows at 3.7.

Ah, I see what you're talking about now.

There are 3 scores for any given title.
Blu-ray.com score, from the official site review.
User Score - obviously an average score from all user reviews
Overall Score - combining the average of the user reviews and the official blu-ray.com review.

The score that appears in the Collections Gallery appears to only be the User's Scores, and doesn't factor in any blu-ray.com review scores (what I was referring to earlier - the "overall score").

That is what you are seeing.

Yep, i guess that solves another bluray mystery.
Oh well.
