Rating things on a scale of 1 to 4 confuses me.
It seems arbitrary. I also think it leaves little room for fine nuances. Like, if you think about a percentage scale, one star is the difference between an A+ (100%) and a C (75%). I don’t like ratings at all, though and I tend to think that they’re all a bit arbitrary. What’s the difference between a 99 and a 100? Or a 3.1 and a 3.2? I much prefer people just concisely state what they like or didn’t like about a film and whether they consider it good or not. That’s much more useful.
