    6-7 on IMDB is a pretty decent score, plenty of good movies in that range. If it’s 5 and below it means it’s right proper schlock.

      That’s not how IMDb rating works. It’s just an aggregate based on the number of users voting on it. It’s basically useless at distinguishing a stinker from a watchable weeknight movie from a masterpiece. Rotten Tomatoes attempts to address this imbalance with a weighted scheme, which usually works better for well-known movies.
