I'm curious. What do you attribute the 3.5/10 rating to? I almost always look at IMDB ratings and even bad movies typically get 4 or 5 out of 10. 3.5 is a really low rating. I typically avoid movies rated less than 6. I make some exceptions sometimes as I've noticed action movies tend to get lower ratings.

I could not speak for others as my taste seems to oftentimes differ vastly, especially with the critics.

Last week I saw Warhorse One. Then watched it again with someone else, who gave it a B+. I thought it was excellent both times.

I guess I should not have been surprised me but was still surprised when every one of the critics was highly critical of Warhorse One.

People definitely have different tastes/interests when it comes to movies. I tend to think "artsy" movies are overrated (which means not my taste). Most of the Oscar winners over the last 20 years I thought were average at best. When a silent movie won a little over 10 years ago it just confirmed my thoughts. It seems that in the most recent years the Academy tried to make the movie nominees a little more mainstream.
