Ratings in a Nutshell
This is what I want to convey with my numerical ratings. Nothing is without exception.
10: Perfection. Virtually impossible to attain.
9: Absolutely loved it. Has everything I’m looking for in a movie. Might be a 10 some day.
8: A “must see.” Something special about it. At the top of its genre.
7: I liked it and highly recommend it.
6: I liked it and recommend it. Above average for its genre.
5: It’s OK. Just average, but it wouldn’t hurt to see it.
4: Pretty bad. A disappointment, yet something about it, i.e., the cast, the directing, special effects, or cinematography, gives it some value.
3: Terrible. Senseless. Awful.
2: So bad it’s actually painful to watch.
1: Usually a movie that is immensely overrated and one that I feel has nothing in it worth seeing, e.g., Eyes Wide Shut (1999).
