A guide to understanding my film ratings

10/10 - There are no perfect films. This is as close as you'll get.
9/10 - A truly great film and a stand-out in its genre and field, definitely worth your time and likely to be well loved forever.
8/10 - A Great film, everybody should find something to enjoy
7/10 - A Very Good film, not without its issues but still should be worth seeing
6/10 - Overall, A good film, with one or two major flaws that may put some off.
5/10 - An average film, you may or may not enjoy it to pass the time, but you won't rave about it to your mates.
4/10 - OK film, fairly average, but with problems that may undermine it.
3/10 - Poor Film. Its problems outweigh its good bits, but you may find some things to enjoy
2/10 - Very Poor Film. Only a few will find that any good things are far outweighed by serious issues, some very basic, with all areas of consequence.
1/10 - Extremely Poor Film. Barely anyone will find anything to enjoy, with all technical sides undermined by a lack of any basic grasp of filmmaking. Avoid.
0/10 - So bad it scarcely merits inclusion on a list of films, atrociously acted, badly made and a toxic stain on the landscape. Avoid at all costs!

The special blue A:
A
Awarded to films that are bad, but fun - so a fun 0/10A is much better than a dull 0/10
