5/7 if a movie is perfect and work down from there

AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Agreed. A solid is probably a 4-6I think a lot of people would benefit from considering all of their previous film ratings when they do new ones.
I think if they did this, they'd be less likely to throw out 7 and 8 out of 10s as often as they do, because they'd see that most films don't stack up to ones they've previously given a 9 or 10.
So often I hear or read comments along the lines of "yeah it was solid; maybe 8/10". It doesn't add it up.
GG.exe interested on your thoughts on how you rate films
A lot of sheer enjoyable movies ARE technically well made tho.i have to rate by enjoyment, a lot of the movies i watch repeatedly are devoid of what people might consider cinematic or technical skill. troma or other lo-fi, transgressive stuff, so-bad-it's-good, etc. i love pink flamingos, and i love groundhog day.
I've mentioned Critcker.com on here before I think but this is a good piece about it's benefits with regards to ratings/rankings
It's still the best site for movie ratings hands down for me.
It uses your own ratings of movies to predict what rating you would give to movies you haven't seen. It's ridiculously accurate. So it's great for movie recommendations of what to watch.I'll check it out, but in the mean time, what makes you say it is so good? Does it happen to match your tastes, do they explain what is good, etc?
While on the topic of ratings, I find it interesting that on imdb, ratings for TV shows are much higher than movies on the whole. I don't know what that means, but I just needed to share it with someone.
Yes it's really odd. Universally TV shows are rated very high with the likes of True Detective, the Wire, Breaking Bad, GoT regularly having 9+ ratings scores, whereas your top movies are in the low 8's as far as I recall.
It's an odd phenomenon but I think it's a combination of:
- less people using IMDB to rate TV vs movies;
- TV having a more dedicated ongoing fan base;
- the repetitive nature of TV meaning 'fans' are the only ones likely to interact with a weekly rating mechanism
- people following the trend, i.e the smaller IMDB using TV fan base regularly rate TVs 10 so other people follow to stay 'closer to the average', whereas films are rated on a wider spectrum
