I gave it a 7. Doesn't seem like it's far off.

IGN's reviewing system in a nutshell

Right, because IGN was the only site to give Mass Effect 3 a high score.

*Autbot_Benz* · 08-04-2014, 03:54 PM

IGN Gave Expandables 3 8 more points than Turtles 6.8

Nice try there buddy. I'm not talking about that particular instance, I just used that as an example...

A 6 isn't that bad. This means the basic plot is coherent but doesn't go above and beyond with complications. So it is a linear experience. The characterizations are just mere stereotypes. Definitely, good enough. However this is IGN. The rating from rotten tomatoes is more important to me because the rating is determined by the average score of multiple critics.

A 6/10 isn't bad. I expected a lot lower.

I wouldn't go that far. They're pretty legit in terms of game reviews, except CoD of course.

But as far as movie reviews, yeah. They're not the best. Especially since they no doubt chose someone who doesn't know the first thing about TMNT to review the movie.

6/10 is not a bad score, but it looks bad because of the 10-scale they use. Had it been a 5-scale it would've been 3/5, and suddenly it doesn't look so bad. Based on what the reviewer wrote though, I think he could've been a bit more generous with his score.

Whose to say that this wasn't a generous score? You weren't the only one to grow up with TMNT.

The goal of reviewing is to express the writer's feelings on the movies, not cater to yours.

And yet that's exactly what IGN does with a lot of their game reviews.

thats not a bad thing...as long as they arnt saying their review is the bible people can leave it or take it

I read the review, and I felt like he would have given it a higher score. He listed alot of positives of the movie and a couple of negatives. To me, I think he should have gave the movie 6.5 or 7
