Critics seem to rate movies on a global scale. How can I give this movie 9/10 when Citizen Kane is a 9/10? On that scale, this movie is at most a 6. Unsurprisingly, popular genres get trashed on that scale.
Normal folks rate movies subjectively. Was it really awesome and did I love it? Then it’s a 10.
- BizarroLand 5y agoThere should be a comparison system based on genre, by the best ever, this year, and this decade. Format would be something like: Compared to the best 10/10 all-time movie of the Genre, Movie A, Movie X is a 7/10. Compared to the other movies of the genre in the last year, Movie X gets a 8.5/10. Compared to the other movies of the genre this decade, Movie X gets a 7.75/10. Final verdict, 7.75/10, if you like movies in this genre you will probably enjoy Movie X.
