Yes, you're right, but, because people will see this review, and will not agree, they will start to review it too, to react to the first preview. Or some user will want to see discs with good review, and will react to the review. Lot of people will start to review disc also because they will know that their review will be display, even if they are alone. I gave up many times to review discs because only I possess the LD, then I cannot even think 2 other people will get it, and review it... But If I could discover a really good version of a movie, I would like to express it to others by my review. They will like it or not, then reviews will increase and become better. Else, no one will start to see theses discs.

Yes, let's see ! But I am sure that 1 would boost the review on all the site ! A really good system to dynamise the review system, in the future, would be to create a system of comment to justify the review. I think that one justified review is better than ten without comment. Like legendra for games : https://www.legendra.com/rpg/fiche-arti ... mmentaireshttps://www.legendra.com/rpg/fiche-arti ... lets_ficheyou have a global page about the game (like any LD on LDDB) + a tag to access to comments. You can see the average of the reviews on the main page, and the detail of comments on the comment page. I usually choose my next game to do by seeing the review and reading the comment.

When it comes to the film itself I’m with Ebert. Thumbs up or thumbs down. The reason being, you’re going to either see it or not so the question is “This movie was made for a certain set of people, should they see it?” That’s it.
However when it’s a specific LD...an LD is just a shadow of the film itself so there are many grey areas that may influence the collector. Different people collect LD for certain reasons. Some people just want every version of a particular film irrespective of quality so in that way ANY Laser release is a 10/10.
I like “first prints” of anime. Obviously this pretty much means OVAs made during the LD era. Even though Giant Robo isn’t that great on LD I still want them all for the same reason that a Spider-Man fan wants Amazing Fantasy #15. How to I “rate” all the LDs in the Giant Robo series? I don’t. I want them all.
Then there is stuff like Unico. I have both LDs of Unico and the Isle of Magic and they pretty much suck. This was a theatrical film so there’s nothing too significant about the LD. I’d recommend the Blu-ray.
Then there is Goldeneye which is an awful terrible piece of crap movie but is probably the single best LD I own. What do I rate that?
Then there are those great JP editions of European films that have only Japanese subs and original French/German/Spanish/whatever. These releases are *much* more useful to people who can understand the original language or at least the subs. Americans don’t collect a lot of these and it’s a bummer. Between the JP subs and the overall similarity of the Romance languages I can sorta figure out what’s going on in a simple movie but if it’s Fellini or whatever, forget it.
It’s complicated.
Feature idea: maybe if you want to know something about an LD you could have a feature that requests feedback from people who have it in their LDDB account. Members would have to opt in for that of course since it would be annoying to many people.

Yes, same for me. I like some disc only for very subjective reasons, and I review it with my heart. I am also very interested by the reasons why other likes or dislikes a LD version. That's why we could have an access next the movie to go to a page with all the reviews and comments of members about a movie. Like that : (same site I talked about before) https://www.legendra.com/rpg/fiche-rpg_ ... mmentairesIt would be very dynamic and interresting.
