A guide to my star rating for my movie reviews.

★★★★★
5 stars – “Really really liked it and would watch it again without hesitation.”

★★★★
4 stars – “Really liked it.”

★★★
3 stars – “Liked it.” or “Didn’t really like it, but it was a good movie.”

★★½
2.5 stars – “It was ok. Watchable.”

★★
2 stars – “Meh. It wasn’t outright bad, I guess. But you’re not missing anything if you don’t see it.”

★
1 star – “Forgettable/Boring/Not interesting.”

No star at all – “Not even worth thinking about.” Or, “I dislike it so much that I am unable to think rationally about it.”

** Earlier reviews don’t have ratings since I didn’t fall into this habit until fairly recently, so please don’t assume older movies are that horrible.
