That's fine, that works. But as for things like "one of the best, one of the worst, etc.", that's really not a movie review thing, it's more of year in review or decade in review thing. As a reviewer, you're suppose to judge the movie on it's own merits in the PRESENT DAY, not what it's place in movie history will be ten years from now. You're spreading the quality meter too thin. "Excellent" and "great" are interchangeable as one degree; "good" is a stand alone degree; "okay", "average" and "mediocre" can all be combined into one degree; "bad" is a stand alone degree; "awful" and "horrible" are interchangeable as one degree. You see what I mean?

Yeah, 50% on RT is nothing to get all excited about. That's far from being able to go all "See, see! 50%, that means the movie is good and not razzie worthy!" (a common excuse used by Gee-Wiz). But as I have been saying, my perferred methods of movie rating systems are 1-5 stars or letter grades, hence why I translate percentages into letter grades. But hey, that's just me. I'm sure everyone uses RT ratings differently ... like Gee-Wiz thinking anything not below 20% MUST be "good".

I always thought the whole taking rotten tomatoes as a literal grade to be kinda silly, the one thing that metacritic does right over RT is that they explain what the score means rather than provide a vauge consensus. for example a 50% means mixed or average, which is farfrom an F (Not saying it's a good rating, just saying that your looking at it the wrong way)

A 50%ish score on RT doesn't mean an F, it means that about half the critics didn't like it and half of the critics did, thats means that critics were split on the movie, and not a failing grade. So in a way maybe Gee-Wiz does have a point to some extent... although just saying that in itself is an oxy-moron.

And as for school grade point averages, as you have seen from my debates with MWG, I apply them to RT ratings. Where as he would consider 50% to be a good thing, I see it as an "F", since that was the GPA method in school. To each his own I suppose.

Okey, intresting Vits. Can you explain how you mean specific?
I myself prefer the 1-10 system because I rarely give film a 9 out of 10. So one can imagine how much status the few films have that get a 10 out of 10 (same goes the other way around for a 1 out of 10 rating)

I still prefer 10 degrees for myself, but will admit that I understand why critics use it. It is a clearer system.

I do also have to admit that I never understood why a reviews always included a rating of the film. It doesn't make the words printed on paper stronger. So to me it always seemed a bit unnecessary.

Vheid, sorry if my wording upset you, but I was just going by what I was taught to be the correct movie rating system that is embraced by professional critics. You do have to admit, having five degrees of quality is easier to understand than 10 degrees, that's why it's the system that critics use.

Vits, my opinion, it was more like this according to that system. Laughs: 10%, Directing: 20%, Acting: 5%. 35% = F.

I usually use the rating system from my country:

7,0=100%

6,5=90%

6,0=80%

5,5=70%

5,0=60%

4,5=50%

4,0=40%

3,0=30%

2,0=20%

1,0=10%

0=0%

By in sites like this I choose to write one that you all understand.

Art is an abstract concept,and in movies I consider it the quality of the technical aspects.

Laughs:90%

Directing:40%

Acting:50%

I didn't mind that you believe your own system works better than other systems. It's just that claiming there is just one REAL system comes over as a bit judgemental (or even arrogant).

I asume this wasn't your intention, because so far you came over as a reasonable/rational person.

I guess it varies from person to person. To me, 1 to 10 ratings make no damn sense. At what point is the movie bad or good? 1-3 is bad? 4-7 is okay? 8-10 is good? 1 to 5 is so much simpler. 1 is bad, 2 is alright, 3 is okay, 4 is good, 5 is great. See, simple. Same goes for letter grades. A is great, B is good, C is okay, D is alright, F is bad.

And as for school grade point averages, as you have seen from my debates with MWG, I apply them to RT ratings. Where as he would consider 50% to be a good thing, I see it as an "F", since that was the GPA method in school. To each his own I suppose.

Well, Vheid, by "art", I mean the quality of filmmaking. The choices in editing, writing, acting, etc. Here, they are all VERY poor. As I said Hugh Hefner was just line reading in a monotone voice. The sidekick character acts like he is on speed throughout the movie, and there are running gags galore that stopped being funny the third or fourth time they are used. As for entertainment, to me at least, it's not all that funny, I chuckled only once or twice. Vits apparently thought elsewise. But no, it's a movie unworthy of an 8 out of 10 rating (or say 4 out 5 stars or B+, the REAL rating systems that make sense), and you're not missing anything from not watching it.

Agree with you Burn and Vits, but have to say that both "art" and "entertainment" doesn't seem like real guidelines for making a good film. Mainly because both terms are very vague.

I went to an art school and one of the first questions they ask there is "What is art?". It shouldn't be a suprise that this is a question that is very hard to answer and oftenly leads to very heavy discussions. Mainly because there is just not one universal answer for this question.

Entertainment is a very personal thing. I find The Room very entertaining (because I find it extremelly funny) but someone else would just be bored by it.

As for your rating Vits, giving a film something like a 10 would means you saw something extraordinary, Something that had a deep effect on you as a filmwatcher, something you couldn't stop thinking about, something you would remember 30 years from now, something that remained on your mind days after you saw it, something that changed the way you look at things etc.

I havn't seen Miss March, but i doubt you felt any of these thing when you watched the movie. Am I wrong?

Yeah, but EQUAL parts entertainment AND art. So that means it's still a failure because it had no balance of the two. There was no art and it wasn't even THAT entertaining.

This is why I highly question the high ratings you give to some movies. When I ask you why you gave that review, you admit there are many flaws to the movie. If that is the case, then the movie clearly shouldn't be getting that high of a rating.

This is a teen sex comedy with a cliched plot and stupid jokes...but on purpose. Not to mention is funny! A certain scene made fall out of my bed laughing, and that rarely happens. I wanted to give a higher rating, but it loses points because some jokes weren't funny, some were (but they re-used them too many times) and some were too gross or too sexist. Also,Zach & Trevor shouldn't do so many jobs on one movie, because their directing was sloppy.

Now that you mentioned it...it's true -- Hefner was doing bad line readings.

Not a corny sex comedy who's biggest expense was likely keeping a defibrillator on hand at all times in case Hef died again.

My thoughts exactly!
