I&#x27;ve noticed a trend with IMDB reviews:<p>* The rating will be very high around release time, then drop a point or two after a few weeks
 * The top 1-2 reviews will be 9-10 star. After that will follow a large number of reviews saying the movie was terrible.<p>I first noticed this with movies that I disliked, and couldn&#x27;t believe their high imdb rating. For example, I loathed American Hustle, and it had that same pattern.<p>That movie was around 8.4 when first out, and had a ten star review on top. (I&#x27;ve now noticed the ten star review is gone.)
