How do you rate movies? in c/movies@lemmy.ml
[–] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I have a very complex rating system that I apply to every film I see. It ends up as a score out of 100, built up from scoring points in different categories.

I subdivide into 3 groups first, Enjoyment (50pts available), Quality (40pts available), Rewatch-ability (10pts available). Most of these are subdivided in some fashion, such as Quality: Writing, where up to 5 points can be awarded.

Here are 3 examples of scores as I record them.

The Fellowship of the Ring 92 (E48 Q36 R8)

Mary Poppins Returns 72 (E43 Q25 R4)

GI Joe: Retaliation 42 (E23 Q17 R2)

Most films I see score above 40, so it's a fair argument to say there is a dead zone in the rating system, but in reality a film should reach a bare level of quality so scoring under that threshold is a real indicator of a something really shit.

Update: Regarding your Avatar question. My system allows an individual's personal level of enjoyment to be scored in addition to the fundamental quality in a given film, so even a film like Avatar that you don't like as much now will still be able to get a respectable score from the other categories.

    Starfield's Main Character Is Silent So The World Can Be Huge in c/xbox@lemmy.world
    [–] 1 point 2 years ago

    I think it all depends on what sort of game you have, specifically if it is story driven or immersion/exploration driven.

    Halo Reach is story driven and would have absolutely benefitted from a voice. Mass Effect was primarily story driven and the voiced protag worked great.

    Fallout 4 is the opposite and a silent protag would have been better as silent, like in Fallout 3 or Elder Scrolls games.

    EFL Increase Number of Subs (www.efl.com)

    For League matches during the 2021/22 season, Clubs were able to field three substitutes from seven nominated, which has now increased following Friday's Annual General Meeting (AGM) when EFL Clubs approved a number of regulation changes that will come into effect immediately.

    Each Club is only permitted a maximum of three opportunities to make substitutions during the fixture, plus an opportunity at half-time, and a Club may make more than the one substitution at each of these opportunities.

    Sunderland AFC have reached an agreement with PSV Eindhoven for the transfer of Jenson Seelt.

    Personal terms have been agreed with the 20-year-old centre back, who will travel to the North East this week to undergo a medical and finalise a move to the Stadium of Light.

    Seelt made 33 appearances for Jong PSV in the Eerste Divisie – the Dutch second tier – during the 2022-23 season, and he was also named in the Club’s senior matchday squad on nine occasions.

    Sunderland transfer targets: Ellis Simms & Will Smallbone (the72.co.uk)

    Simms is a player that Sunderland fans know and like. He spent time on loan last season before being recalled by parent club Everton, though a return to Wearside has been touted ahead of this summer.

    Sunderland are said to be keeping tabs on his situation but recent reports (The Sun print edition, via TWTD) have suggested that Ipswich Town have made the first move to sign him this summer, with the Tractor Boys having apparently tabled a £3.5million bid.

    Southampton midfielder Smallbone is also said to be of interest to the Black Cats. A recent report from FootballTransfers revealed that Sunderland, as well as Hull City and Stoke City – who had Smallbone on loan last season – are all keen, but that the trio face competition from Bournemouth and two other, unnamed Premier League clubs.

    Dennis Cirkin explains why he's committed his future to Sunderland (www.sunderlandecho.com)

    Dennis Cirkin says he wants to reach 'new heights' at Sunderland after agreeing a new long-term deal at the club.

    Cirkin was coming into the last year of his contract after two hugely impressive campaigns at the Stadium of Light, and has now committed his future on Wearside until the summer of 2026.

    It serves a major boost to the Black Cats as they look to build their squad for the upcoming Championship campaign, and Cirkin says he is 'delighted' to be staying.

    The defender suffered some injury frustration over the course of last season but still managed to contribute five crucial goals over 28 appearances across all competitions, and will be an integral part of Tony Mowbray's squad next season.

    Cirkin joins Trai Hume in committing his long-term future to the club, with the Northern Irishman previously extending his deal to 2026.

    “It’s such a good feeling and I really am delighted to commit my future to the Club," Cirkin said.

    "This is one of the best places to be for young players at the moment and we showed that last year – I’m really enjoying it, so I think this is the perfect place for me.

    "We got into the Play-Offs last season, which was incredible, and as players, staff and fans, we should all be excited for what’s ahead. I really want to kick on next season and reach new heights.”

    Cirkin missed Sunderland's play-off campaign due to injury but Sunderland are hopeful that he will be back to play a key role as they try and build on last season's sixth-placed finish, which the young defender played a big role in securing.
