- Definite masterpiece material, or we just plain enjoyed this movie so much we felt it deserved this rating. Many times we'll find very little flaw in a film with this star rating, and sometimes we just don't find flaws at all, and boast almost non-stop. It's a rare rating given to a few films so often.

- Overall, an excellent film with very little flaws present. Often times there is a lot to like, and we just end up loving it in spite of its obvious flaws. It's another high rating for films we deem close to the masterpiece level.

- A Good movie. Not without its faults, and still deserving of some maintenance, but often times it's a really good reaction in spite of where its lagging.

- Fair to Positive. Often times there are a lot of flaws in a film with this rating, and there is a lot to dislike but it strikes a positive chord in the end, and ends up becoming decent and very watchable.

- Fair but on a very negative tone. It's very hard to find anything even good with this film rating and the flaws are much clearer and discernable and hard to ignore. Though some of it is good, its not particularly a good mark in the end, but not a panning, either.

- Negative review pointing out minor positive points, or we just didn't enjoy the movie and will present no positives. It's still a rather bad mark in the end, though.

- A more severe negative mark. No good points to the film's aspects and just a lot of bad elements; often times it's given to a film we perceive to be of very little quality and or value.

- Excruciatingly awful. Painfully terrible, and incredibly grueling to watch. It's given to the worst of the worst, and the cinematic feces that we pan mercilessly, regardless of the budget or appeal it presents.
