Well even if it isn't, it's still 10/10 for me!Super Troopers is objectively one of the greatest films ever made

That's how I rate. I have 10 categories for a movie. Each category is a binary result. 0 or 1. No or Yes. Total them up, is a result out of 10. It's not just some random figure 10, or some random amount of stars 5. Then you run into problems when you "enjoy" a movie and decide to give it a 7/10 and after all your ratings as such, you end up with conundrums -- how did so-and-so truly well-made film only get 6/10 when some other sub-standard movie got 7/10 only because you enjoyed it, or got too carried away emotionally or spontaneously.
That ... actually makes sense. You'll still have anomalies though. Just different ones to me.

I try to be logical about everything I do, rate, give feedback about. And yes, there'll be anomalies from time to time.
Just, you know how people liked a film so they go nuts about it, whilst others didn't like a film and trash it. Or, how often people recommend a movie to you, say omg you have to see it, it's so good, but FOR YOU, you didnt think it was that good. This mostly comes from "rating" or "judging" things based purely on whether you subjectively liked/enjoyed it or not. People's tastes are always different.
Instead, breaking down things into categories, and reporting back on each area that was done well or not, is imo more helpful. You often see video games broken down in such ways in review articles, for instance. This ought to be done more for music albums and movies too.
Still subjective. Your 0s and 1s for a lot of the film making categories of Heriditary are much lower than most would give.

Again, GG gave my movie half a point, and it featured a scene where I wielded TWO GUNS AT ONCE and SPINNING KICKED A ZOMBIE
Also, a fantastic original score in the style of vintage Carpenter

I would say....it isn't a scary movie, but more of a sinister slow-burning slow-burner....more like The Witch (if they saw that). I would tell them, I enjoyed it, but I didn't like it, nor would I recommend it to anyone, it helped pass the time, nothing eminent about it really, doesn't push the genre in different/new ways, etc, and if they asked me, I'd say...I rate it about 1 or 2 out of 10. If they pushed me, I'd say....the music was fantastic and the acting was largely excellent -- as in, two aspects out of ten categories that I gave it a thumbs up for.

A LOT of big budget Hollywood movies have only received a 1/10 from me. So you getting 0.5/10 is very high praise.

My rating system allows for cheesy comedies and mindless action flicks to get high scores as well as cinematic masterpieces. There would be nothing about that based on subjective like/taste. But all purely how WELL each category performed. You shouldn't compare things outside of their genres anyway. Casablanca and Scary Movie are both extremely well-made movies, and highly rated. Let's say I gave both 10/10. That's entirely fair to each, whilst understanding they are two vastly different genres.

I'm not famous. If I were, and if I were for my movie/music reviews....people would cotton on to my way of doing things more. But, yes, definitely. My ratings and judgments, are far harsher than %95 of the human population, and all professional reviewers. Sure, it is still POINT OF VIEW, with a knowledge-base behind me...but that's not even necessary....people innately know/see when things are done well or not in a movie because they've seen millions of movies in their lifetime so along the way have acquired a good "sense" for such things. You don't NEED to have gone to film school, don't NEED to be a professional critic with a journalistic background, you don't NEED to be a film-maker yourself....otherwise you "cannot" judge movies (or be able to break down the various categories of film-making and discern good/bad).

A film rating should encompass all those things coming together to give a good feeling after you walk out. If the script is poor and the cutting is dodgy or the boom mic comes into shot. They all go to making the rating of a film.
I dont think you can truly say ' oh it was a great film but the script was shit and the boom mic showed up in a few shots , but you know the cinematography was outstanding'
You rate the film on the whole not subject it to parts

At first thought didnt think the acting was THAT great, but on second thought it was largely so. Hence 0 ok maybe 1.
It's a curse that people simply don't understand me and resort to labeling me troll to try to understand me, when i'm always being genuine....except the times when i'm not.

The Predator; it's decent and captures the right tone, but Predator is a product of the '80s and they should stop trying to recapture its success. Nothing will live up to it.

A great movie is usually so because all the parts add up to one great sum. So many aspects done well. So many things to sink one's teeth into. Why rewatchability is often there for a great movie....because its so meaty, so many levels firing, you not only need to watch again and again to pick up on stuff, but also you can re-watch focusing on different aspects as you watch. First time to take it all in. Second time to pick up on bits you didnt quite get the first time. The third time just keyed in on the acting. Fourth time keyed in only on the shot compositions. Fifth time keyed in only on the editing. Etc.
For instance....A New Hope versus The Last Jedi. You can certainly break down both films in each category. And if you binary rated them on each category, you'd certainly see my ratings system work.
TLJ would get 1 for cinematography. That's about it. So many other aspects of that film truly woeful. No great film can happen where just one or two aspects were done well, but so many other areas bombed badly in.

I don't like calling people trolls, but then you did just give Scary Movie 10/10 and gave it a comparison to Casablanca.
I think you're still missing the point they were making i.e. the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
I decided to watch Hereditary based on GG first thoughts about the movie before the 1/10 review,was waiting for the missus so had a look at Bf and saw 1/10 and thought heck it must be shit...
Glad i didn't delete it cos it was a good effort with some different takes on the "possession" type of film,definitely worth watching if you like that genre.
Guess it just proves reviews are subjective and everyone rates things differently.
