If I love a movie and can rewatch them it usually an 8 or 9 for me.
to me it's like this in very basic terms...
6/10 or higher = Thumbs Up (will re-watch these, especially 7's and higher)
5/10 or lower = Thumbs Down (won't re-watch these(with rare exception))
i can't get any simpler than that ;)
with that said 5's are usually decent enough to have seen once but ultimately not a movie ill see again and movies i won't re-watch cannot be a positive score at the end of the day.
so depending on how you feel about that... we could be noticeably different here as to me a 8 is a pretty high score to just to START re-watch level. i would figure re-watch level for you would be AT LEAST down to a 7/10 minimum if not a bit lower.
i figure since there is a 1 through 10 rating scale it's best to make proper use of it which basically means using 5/10 as middle-of-the-road/average and then it scales up and down fairly evenly from there. but i will say my really low scores are not as tuned as my higher scores but it's not worth nit picking on the lower end scores given after they fall below a certain point they are just crap, plain and simple.
To get a 10 it would realy have to connect to to me on a personal level.
i have a feeling your similar to myself in that movies ultimately come back to some sorta emotional response you get from them which determines the overall enjoyment of a movie and then we rate them accordingly ;)
It's not that much thinking, it's just the general feel of the movie and how much I enjoyed it.
i am exactly the same as rating movies any other way makes no sense.
when i describe my ratings it might sound all complex but it's really as simple as you describe it at the end of the day.
