Rating System

After thinking long and hard about this, I finally decided on a rating system to steal adapt for all my reviews.

Using a 1 to 10 system, or the ultimately equivalent 1 to 100 system, gets too caught up in the minutia. Besides, at that point anything 5 or under sucks and then there's a detailed explanation of why it sucks but maybe why it sucks a little less then something else.

Then there's the simple Yes/No, Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down, Happy Face/Angry Face system. Way too simple although it does then allow more focus on the review itself.

I'm going to land in the middle. A 5 point system. Only I'm going to actually add another layer to it; instead of just 1-5, mine will be 0-5.

5 - Fantastic! Absolutely without flaw or with minor, negligible flaws. A must see. As near perfection as you could ask for.

4 - Very good. Minor flaws or other small reasons that keep it just out of the realm of perfection. Highly recommended.

3 - Average. Fun but nothing special. Probably worth seeing if you're into that sort of thing.

2 - Poor. There were things that should have been done differently that were a detriment to the film. Still watchable but take caution.

1 - Lame. They did not accomplish what they set out to do. Multiple flaws. Possibly watchable but not as what it was intended to be.

0 - Oh God... In the rare occasion you see this, stay far, far away. Your hours are more valuable then this.

So there it is. I will shortly be re-doing the The Last Airbender review. Until then... go do something else.
