I am interested in developing a consistent rating method for movies (and tv series).
I found https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/aeb0ce/how_do_you_rate_movies/ there are some nice comments/ methods and I think I may not achieve a consistent rating method for myself. Simply because I may think that some cool and innovative technique is cool today won't be cool tomorrow anymore.
Moreover, I don't like a movie like Avater anymore, which I liked 14 years ago, my taste is different today. And Avatar isn't as impressive today like it was 14 years ago. Should my disliking of the weird sci-fi characters influence the rating or should I look at professionally and rate it on what the movie ought to be.
On a good day I may sit through a lengthy movie, on another day I won't.
What's your take on it?
Following are examples from the link:
1/5 - So bad I couldn’t finish.
2/5 - Bad movie that I did finish.
3/5 - This is where most of the movies I see get placed. They’re alright with some/notable flaws.
4/5 - Good movies that do something at a near flawless level. Be it acting, directing, cinematography, or script/dialogue.
5/5 - Good movie that is nearly flawless at all/or multiple levels.
1/10 - Beyond awful. These are the sort of films that are so painfully imbecile that you wonder how they were even made. You question the mental skills of everyone involved. These can be films so bad they are good at points.
2/10- Awful. Nothing about the film is good.
3/10- A pretty bad film. Very flawed. However there could be some shots/lines/small moments that I might enjoy.
4/10- A flawed movie but I can tell what they were going with. You can tell effort was put into the movie however it is pulled down by one significant (or a few minor) flaws.
5/10- A bit average and forgettable. These can be very flawed (but still a great time at the movies) or just extremely unspectacular (but still well made).
6/10- A movie I enjoyed but was flawed/not particularly spectacular. I might not bother watching these again but I would admit that they are good.
7/10- Something that is a little flawed but I had fun with the film. I would definitely watch the film. The film is good enough that I can forgive the flaws as it's still a good time at the movies.
8/10- A very solid film. Nothing bad about it but nothing revolutionary. Sometimes I put flawed films here (only minor flaws however) if they do something fun/creative with the medium or really affected me emotionally.
9/10- A film that affects me on an emotional level and/or does something new/creative with the medium however there are a few very minor issues with the film e.g. some shots I don't like, cliches, some lines not hitting.
10/10- Masterpiece. This film affected me on an emotional level and/or does something new/creative with the medium. There is not a single thing wrong with the film. Every line of dialogue hits, every shot is perfect and the music is fantastic.
10 — Incredible in every way. Innovative, emotional, technically impressive. (The Exorcist, 2001) 9 — Almost perfect. There may be slight flaws, but they barely matter. (Terminator 2, Sorcerer '77) 8 — A great all-round film. Not a classic, but excellent. (Forbidden Planet, The Rocketeer) 7 — Very good, excellent in many ways but with some shortcomings. (Lethal Weapon 4, A Nightmare on Elm Street '84) 6 — A good film. Nothing special, but I'd give it a recommendation. (Mad Max '79, Octopussy) 5 — Equally good and bad. (Terminator 3, Timeline) 4 — Mediocre. Not objectionable, but definitely not good either. (Superman III, Children of the Corn '84) 3 — A bad film with a few good aspects. (Sharknado 4, Ghostbusters '16) 2 — A handful of mediocre elements, generally disgraceful. (MegaForce, Piranha 2: The Spawning) 1 — Awful in every way. (I Am Here....Now, Swamp Zombies)
