Let’s talk about my rating system for a moment.
Traditionally, films have always been ranked on the 4 stars rating system. Today however, I notice that fewer and fewer reviewers chose this system opting for a 5 stars rating system or a 1 to 10 rating scale (as in the IMDB) and a % rating as in Rotten Tomatoes. I personally find the 4 stars rating system to be the easiest system for anybody to get a quick idea of my thoughts on the film. Hence, I have decided to use the 4 stars ratings system for my reviews. In between I may sometimes use a half star to further differentiate the film’s rating for something that falls in between the overall broad definitions.
So, what goes into my ratings? Here’s a quick rundown.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ is an absolute must-watch. A piece that stands out in every aspect.
⭐⭐⭐ is highly enjoyable and well worth your time
⭐⭐ is one that has its merits but may leave something to be desired
⭐ is … well, let’s just say it wasn’t my cup of tea, but it might be yours!
