Before beginning to write out my thoughts about various movies, I will outline my rating system. Personally, I like the five star system for rating a movie's quality. It is as follows:
One Star * - One of the worst movies I have seen. Don't waste precious time on this.
Example: Adam Sandler's "Just Go With It", an awful movie that made my skin crawl just watching it.
Two Stars ** - Disappointing movie. Not good.
Example: "Public Enemies." Just didn't click as I had hoped.
Three Stars *** - Average. An OK movie. Most movies fall into this range
Example: Too many to count. I thought "The Blind Side" definitely falls into this range.
Four Stars **** - A good movie. Well made and worth seeing in theaters
Example: "Marvel's Avengers." Very well put together, entertaining, funny, and took super hero movies to the next level.
Five Stars ***** - Spectacular movie. One of the best I have ever seen. Highly recommended. A true and often timeless classic.
Example: "Citizen Kane." Lauded by most as the best of all time. Watch it and you will see why. It changed the game.
For AFI 100 movies, I will add an additional rating. This rating is in relation to the movie being ranked on the list and follows stock analysis ratings.
Overrated - Movie is ranked too high by AFI. Didn't live up to expectation.
Neutral - Ranked about right on the AFI list.
Underrated - Should be ranked higher. Undervalued.
For purposes of reference, I will be using the revised 10th year anniversary AFI 100 (2007) ratings to refer to movies and their rankings.
With all that said, let's starting writing some posts.
