Yeah, but the two stars are not based on other users or professional critic's reviews, they are based on what they "think" you might like based on your viewing choices.
That would be another nice filter. "Professional reviews only."
Regardless, while I agree that 3-5 stars are not always representative of what I think of a film, it's pretty rare that I watch something under 2 stars by their ranking system that turns out to be good.
That just means their ranking system is accurately predicting your taste.
It's personalized based on what you've ranked yourself, not an objective universal ranking.
So it's not that Streaming is full of bad movies. It's simply that streaming is full of movies that aren't your bag. Given what I seem to recall about your taste, this doesn't surprise me -- you're simply a niche audience that they haven't built up a large streaming catalogue for yet.
Oh, I agree that their streaming catalog has grown by leaps and bounds since the service began (man was it bad then), but this was more a commentary on the clunky interface on the xbox/PS3 than on their catalog, no filtering of any kind. It's either search, or scroll through hundreds of titles with no information other than the box cover without delving deeper into the interface. The "4 titles remaining" line was actually meant to be a joke. (Although now I am kind of curious what you recall about my taste.
P.S. LK, he should know that Spongebob the movie is at least 4 stars. If for the hasslehoff scene alone.
