Composite Movie Rating system

[warrentc3 45]

First crack at this... using powershell for now since it's my native language.

Attempting to create a composite movie rating leveraging the standard set of ratings sources, while adding weighting measures to various community ratings.

Definitely some more conditions and logic will be needed for scenarios where subsets of ratings sources are available, but the weighting math should hopefully mitigate a chunk of that.

Feedback welcome!

Thanks for sharing.

Nice work. I like such aggregated ratings. Just for your interest, there's already a site, which does something like that. It's also including ratings from Letterboxd and RogerEbert.

Looking at your example, the site calculates a rating of 86 out of 100 for this movie. So it's pretty close.
