THE blogosphere is buzzing over claims internet users enamoured with the latest Batman film have been sabotaging the reputation of The Godfather on one of the world's biggest movie websites.
Fans of The Dark Knight, which broke box office records when it was released earlier this month, have voted the latest Batman instalment into the number one spot on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) Top 250 Movies list.
But several blogs have aired allegations that fans of The Dark Knight provided bad reviews of the former top movie, The Godfather, to skew the ratings.
"Could it be that Dark Knight fans are intentionally voting down Godfather in hopes of keeping The Dark Knight at the top spot?” asked one writer on movie blog "/film".
"The percentage of users who gave Godfather a 1 out of 10 grew from 6.1 per cent to 6.4 per cent, just enough to push (The Shawshank Redemption) ahead, while the percentage... who loved the film, giving it a 10 out of 10, remained the same."

Pop culture website Radar said the campaign had been started on The Dark Knight's official website forums.
"According to the ridiculously active message boards on TDK's page, the movement to promote the movie to the top of the 250 involves registering multiple accounts and using them to give TDK 10 stars while simultaneously rating The Godfather one star, keeping it down below."
One blogger on technology website CNET said the event was the latest"meltdown" in the "wisdom of crowds" mentality that underpinned Web 2.0sites like Wikipedia and Digg.
"We have seen, with some consistency, that the system can be brokenor manipulated by the actions of a passionate group of individualsacting as a mob," Harrison Hoffman wrote.
"If these incidents are not largely prevented in the future andbecome commonplace, we risk a lot of people losing faith in thisotherwise very useful system.
"Most serious movie watchers would argue that claiming that The Dark Knight is the best movie of all time is ridiculous."
A similar campaign was staged after the release of Lord Of The Rings to promote that film to the top of IMDb's Top 250 and was sure to happen again in the future, Radar said.
Not including such internet campaigns, The Godfather has been at the top of the list for almost a decade.
Only regular IMDb users can vote for films on the website's Top 250 Movies list. |
