Why all the low ratings?

I'm puzzled. There's a few people on my 'Friends' list that give this epic masterpiece a 1/10 or 2/10. What gives?? Same with IMDB. It's one of the lowest rated films that is on the 300 Greatest Films list, as well as an Oscar winner. 7.0 on IMDB is poor for a film of this caliber, and Listal's 6.9 average is just as pathetic.

So it makes me wonder; are all the people giving this masterpiece a low score doing so only because of overexposure to the film and to its massive popularity? Do you simply rate a film low because of mass appeal, just so you can appear to be different? Or do you truly believe that the film itself, the acting, the special f/x, the story, deserves a 1 or 2 out of 10, basically saying its on par with crap like 'From Justin to Kelly'?

Anyways, those comments aside, this film is truly fantastic, every part of it, and it thoroughly deserves the BILLION plus dollars it raked in from ticket sales alone.

9/10
