My Ratings

I use a 10-point system. I am not entirely consistent. But in general, the following guidelines apply.

0. Unable to rate, not viewed.
1. Awful. Don't ever watch it, unless you are a film-masochist.
2. Not awful, but still terrible. Probably wasn't able to finish it.
3. Bad movie, but it may have had some redeeming qualities.
4. Not quite bad (e.g., grade C made for TV)
5. Mediocre. worth watching, just!
6. Better than average.
7. Good. A fine film.
8. Better. Very good.
9. Among the Best. Great.
10. Awesome. If I smoked, it would be worth a cigarette afterwards.

Critics' ratings:

In more recent entries, where a referenced critic uses a number system to summarize their review, I record, with their link entry, their rating number Should their rating number not be based on a ten-point scale. Should their rating system not be based on a 10-point system, I indicated their scale by "/#". For example, 3/4 means a rating of 3 on 4-point scale.
