Does popular = good?

[Ponine]

Now to the other frequenters of imdb, that ranking is made from our votes and ranking of those of us who log in right?
Combined with how often its looked up?

imo, a great deal of the time popular = there's something interesting here.

Not necassarily good, just interesting.

I would personally never take the rank of a movie on imdb to be a reason to see it. But thats me.
