I consider myself to be very eclectic when it comes to movies that I like, and for this reason I don't like using stars, thumbs up, or even a single number. Instead I base my rating on whether or not the film met my expectations.
Does Not Meet - The movie did not match what I expected, felt I deserved or
paid good money to see.
Meets - The film was as good as one can expect. Nothing making it a
miserable experience, but nothing that impressed me.
Exceeds - Better than I had expected. Whether; Funnier, Better visually,
Better acting, improved plot, or interesting sub-plots or
characters. I left with a desire to see it again.
I find this to be more fair, as a film like Happy Gilmore can not compete emotionally to a film like Million Dollar Baby. Overall, I gave Antitrust an 8, but it got an Exceeds for my rating.
