4.5 stars - exceptional
5 stars - masterpiece

Nightcrawler is one of those 4chan movies that I can’t get onboard with. I’ve watched it twice and think it sucks.

>When you ask a friend if Hellboy is any good, you're not asking if it's any good compared to Mystic River, you're asking if it's any good compared to The Punisher. And my answer would be, on a scale of one to four, if Superman is four, then Hellboy is three and The Punisher is two. In the same way, if American Beauty gets four stars, then The United States of Leland clocks in at about two.

Roger Ebert had plenty of bad takes, but I agree with this approach to film criticism.

I’ve met people like you IRL, I think this is an inability to think critically. They can only say “I like it” or “it was stupid/boring”. It strains their brain too much to evaluate it further than that

rating/evaluating a movie usually means you’re comparing to comparable movies. like movies within the same style/genre

Yeah, theyre like all these vidya people on metacritic that rate games either 0 if they didnt like it or a 10 if they did. Theyre too stupid to actually think about aspects they enjoyed or what they disliked.

I judge movies but I don’t ever compare them. Comparing Star Wars to Star Trek or Alien to Aliens is just dumb. They are completely different movies with a totally different theme and message. Why would I compare them and decide one is better than the other.

>>219323112
real, all of this is for people who'd feel genuinely personally attacked if you said something they enjoyed was mid in any context, it's just falsely compared to being an actual movie critic even to an amateur level to dissuade away from that fact. ppl can't say they enjoyed something but that it was dogshit or lacked quality as a movie, they have to make the movie a part of their personality. in reality there is no inherent difference between the two in OP picrel

hence why you get seething 'stop having fun' memes thrown at you whenever you blogpost -flaming pile of dogshit- isnt great
>>
>>219319687
Depends on the movie.
Dumb comedy movie? Did it make me laugh or not? Action movie? Did it have me at the edge of my seat? Was the choreography good? Or did someone just throw up a bunch of fight scenes?
Serious drama? OK was there actual drama? Stakes? Emotional punches?
Thriller? Can I pause the movie after 7 minutes and 28 seconds and predict 85% of the rest of the movie because a 25 second unskippable ad showed up on a YouTube video 6 months ago?

i think the reason people like you spend your time rating movies is because youre not really smart, and evaluating and criticising movies is the only thing youre able to do, so you put all your brain power in doing that. to me, watching a movie is something i do at the end of the day to relax. most of the time i never even finish them. my thought process is simple: if i enjoyed watching the movie, its a good movie. i dont care about how it compares to other movies because thats entirely irrelevant.
>>
>>219323024
>>219320156
>you're not asking if it's any good compared to Mystic River, you're asking if it's any good compared to The Punisher.
no, im asking if its enjoyable enough that i should spend time watching it. why would anyone compare hellboy to punisher? theyre completely different movies. as i said here >>219330676 people who waste their time rating/analyzing movies, video games etc.. is because they have nothing else in their life to challenge them intellectually.
>>
>>219319715
I only rate 10 or 1
10 if I like it
1 if I don't like it

Just like with videogames, if it isn't fun, why do you even watch it / play it?

Just be yourself, bro.

>>219319687
"fun" just means you aren't smart enough to judge quality. It's always the worst films these faggots find "fun"
>>
>>219323807

>>219330676
well this is a forum for television & film enthusiasts, but I’m glad you let us know that you don’t really think about it or take it seriously. you seem to be implying that while you’re out being a cool hardworker I’m sitting here rating movies all day but surely know that’s not really the case
>>
>>219319715
Absolutely correct. There is no objective numerical frame of reference, and even if there was people aren't beholden to adhere to it at all times. Comparatives (or Ranking) is the best way to get across how much you enjoyed something in as little time as possible. Example: Reservoir Dogs > Fight Club. How many stars does each get? Doesn't matter. Need more information? Better get ready to hear an actual film review then.
>>219322111
>I also cannot weigh different types of movies against each other because it feels retarded to do so. I like movies for different reasons
You think you do because you lack the insight to understand what specific aspects of a film you enjoyed and only look at the oeuvre. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just something you need to develop. Trust me, there's joy to be found in being able to watch a flick everyone says is crap and come away with something in it that speaks to you even if the film itself is neither focused upon it nor even aware of what they've managed to do.
>>219328810
Yeah I do the same thing. Any film that gets a Like from me is something I enjoyed fully and with little to no reservations. There's many flawed films that still get a Like because what they do well they excel in even with other elements dragging down the piece in general.
