WHAT THESE STARS MEAN IN THE REVIEWS.
External link:
I thought it would be a good idea to set out what the different number of stars mean in my reviews, more for getting it straight in my own head than for any other reason.
(no stars) -- "The worst." The worst of the worst. Absurdly bad.
1/2 (half a star) -- "Terrible." Practically no redeeming features. It should never have been made.
* (one star) -- "Bad." There may be something a little interesting, but it is far outweighed by the bad.
* 1/2 (one and a half stars) -- "Not good." Not recommended, but there's some small redeeming thing about it.
* * (You get the idea) -- "So so." Not recommended, but not lousy either. Something worthwhile, but not enough.
* * 1/2 -- "Disappointing." Not great, but there's definitely something good about it. It could be worth checking out.
* * * -- "Good." Recommended.
* * * 1/2 -- "Extraordinary." Highly recommended.
* * * * -- "The best." The very best of the best. Perhaps 1 or 2 movies a year get this rating from me.
