For me it was far too much effort to rate movies - I'll give a thumbs up, I'll rate out of five, but having to analyze exactly what I thought about a bunch of aspects of a lot of movies is just depressing and I quit.
I think this is ok - we only really expect power users to rate many movies. Did you try out the "shape search"? We think thats the real value this kind of rating system creates.
We built croovies to help people find those "underrated" gems, and give more context to what people did or did not enjoy about a movie. We built a shape rating/searching/recommendation platform in the process (over at BetterContext.com). Let me know if you have any questions!
Interesting concept and good looks, but the initial movie selection can be irrelevant - it is for me. I'd like to see the results but I couldn't go through skipping that many movies.
You could let the user search and select the 14 movies, or integrate with imdb.com if possible and get user's top rated movies for evaluation.
in case of a trilogy , how do i rate the originality of the second & third movie compared to the first ? less or equal ?
speaking about trilogy, if the movies number ( example : Matrix I, II, III same for Underworld ..etc ) would appear that would be great ! most of the time it's hard to know which is which only by the title/release-year ...
also can i import my imdb watchlist ?
finally it looks nice, but it take too much time to rate every single movie i've watched -___-'
In terms of originality, we wanted to keep that up to the user. Personally, I would rate the first as very original and the sequels, albeit less original, still held their own stories (despite being far inferior).
There's currently no importing tools but that's a great idea!
