I figured one of the things I could do for this blog was movie reviews. (Along with book and trail reviews!) So in honor of that fine gentleman's original rating system we used I've codified a rating system for myself (obviously based on common styles) and will keep it in this post as well as links to all my movie posts.
All movies can be broken down into four sections:
- Performance
- Writing
- Audio
- Visual
These four categories will each be rated A-F based on this scale:
- A = Amazing (Speechless)
- B = Above Average (Yeah that was pretty cool)
- C = Average (Not bad really, nothing special)
- D = Lacking (Okay I see what they were going for)
- F = Failed (What did I just watch?)
The movie will be given a total score using the A-F system as well:
- A = 'You need to own this movie'
- B = 'You'll want to watch it again at some point'
- C = 'It's worth seeing at least once'
- D = 'Watch it if you have nothing better to do'
- F = 'Do not waste your time'
All reviews will be broken into two parts, a brief summary with a general rating (total score). This part will have no spoilers (no more than you'd get from reading the back of the case anyways). Hopefully it'll help give readers an idea if they want to watch it or not. The second part will be an in depth grading and will likely contain spoilers. These sections will be clearly labeled.
Tim's Movie Reviews:
Your nerd status has gone up several points.
ReplyDeleteThere has never been an award given or statue built for a critic. It is easy to criticize, leave it too the numerous dead heads that get paid for it. You need to use you smarts for much loftier pursuits. I would offer some suggestions, but I am just dumb old dad. And sorry for the penile joke, but if you review movies the joke stands
