10 Bafflingly High IMDb Movie Ratings You Won't Believe

7. Kill Bill

IMDb Rating: 8.1 (Vol. 1 - 172nd on Top 250), 8.0 (Vol. 2) After Jackie Brown, a confident adaptation of someone else's work that saw him maturing as a filmmaker, didn't do Pulp Fiction numbers, Quentin Tarantino decided to go back a step and made Kill Bill. A hyper-violent, wittily-scripted revenge thriller chock full of the director's trademark references to his obscure favourites, it's a fun project, but a far cry from the successes of his debut trilogy. Many of Tarantino's films suffer from the lack of a good editor (for all the entertainment, Django Unchained could lose most of the stuff not at Candyland and still work) and Kill Bill is by far the most egregious example - he was so reluctant to cut down his movie he split it in two. The end product has some great moments (Bill's Superman dissection is food for thought), but doesn't hang together as anything coherent. Not that IMDb would tell you that - both entries have a rating higher than 8.0, with the first one placing on the Top 250 (despite the lack of resolution). The sick punchline? Jackie Brown only has a 7.5.
