A 7/10 is basically a complete failure, so why didn’t reviewers take my feelings into account before publishing their scores?

    IMDB is especially useless when it comes to comedies, they hardly ever reach a 7/10. Hot Shots - 6.7/10, Ghostbusters2 - 6.6/10, Naked Gun 33 1/3 - 6.5/10, Gremlins 2 - 6.4/10, there is a whole lot of amazing movies hidden in the 6-7/10 range.

      The thing is most comedies aren’t great. The films you listed were all just ok in their times except Hot Shots which was a great spoof film but was not a great film overall.
