I can vote multiple times and it is counted. I successfully reversed the vote on the lego movie to "Don't waste your time".

Nice fluid site, but I don't understand why this is better then seeing the user reviews on imdb/rt. As someone who looks at a lot of movie reviews and is a huge movie buff I find number ratings to be: useless, detrimental to the viewing experience, and massively effected by things unrelated to the movie or its quality. I have realized that any review above 5.5 on imdb has the potential to be a good movie to an excellent movie regardless of its actual rating.

I personally find I get much more from reading one upvoted review on imdb, scanning the message board topic titles and then deciding if I would like the film or not. Once I know the things to look for in those I found it to be far more telling of whether I will like a film or not then any RT/Imdb score. My point is that I don't think ratings like this are useful at all and movie rating/recommendation sites need to look in other directions.
