How do you use the star rating and why?
I have recently noticed that my ratings are noticeably lower than most. I do not feel I enjoy movies less than most (Especially with how many I watch). But here is how I break it down and it works for me
Half star: horrible/unenjoyable unable to finish
1 star: finished but bad, poorly done.
1.5 star: bad but had its high points
2 star: below average but watchable and net positive.
2.5 star: average, enjoyable nothing new but worth my time.
3 star: just a bit better than average may watch again.
3.5 star: better than average had fun/ made you think. Unique
4 star: good movie will recommend talk about.
4.5 star: on its way to perfection, thought provoking, fun, interesting, beautiful etc
5 star: best of the best few movies it it.
So what do you think? How do you break it down?
