I'm quite harsh with ratings but I gave it 8/10
Amazing action, great pacing and I was on the edge of my seat the entire way through.Honestly in comparison to Dredd 3D you can see the quality of The Raid, heck Mark Kermode even made it his best foreign film of 2012! -

I rate this 9 for the actions. I normally rate movies by its genre. If I want to see a touching love story and they give me some wierd killing scene on the street, I am going to rate it low.
The same as action movie. If they want to involve some emotional element in an action movie, it better be minimal or handled really well or it will just ruin the actions.
This movie, with next to zero love story. Some plot that can be ignored with the brotherly love (in fact, it does not make sense if it is not the part of the story), the rest is just pure action and stick to the plan. I think it is handled quite well.
Obviously, I think the director not capable or not willing to handle a strong plot where some action director like to add a mixed element in an action movie, he simply abandoned that part of movie. I think he made a correct choice. If you are not good at something, just don't do it, especially it is for a movie. -

Can't say I disagree. That's exactly what I thought after watching it: "That was basically a video game moviebut an awesome video game movie."
Yeah, the plot and characters were thin. I didn't really care to see what happened next or if the characters lived or died, but it was just so much fun and so exciting. At least they knew what they wanted to make and didn't try to force emotion or poignancy like some of these movies try to do. It was a nice little trim action flick that flew by and was entertaining throughout.

How can you lose faith in something that has remained unchanged? Maybe you're just a disillusioned hipster?
IMDb ratings have always and will always be user driven, it's nothing more than an average of how most people feel. Just because the majority of the opinions don't coincide with your idiotic generalizations doesn't mean the system is broken. -

This movie is supposed to be an martial arts movie. So treat it like one. Yet you guys are whining like theres no proper plot, no good dialogs,blah blah blah.. These types of movies are pure action movies, and i dont think that less dialogs and more action makes this movie bad.
You know theres a saying, "Action speaks louder than words" LOL. -

This movie is considerably better than The Dark Knight or Dark Knight Rises, both of which have inexplicably high ratings on imdb despite being screenplay-writer masturbation.
A better action movie than anything produced in Hollywood in the last decade perhaps.
