THE STARS RATING SYSTEM
 
In an effort to make things overly complicated and at least a little different from every other movie review rating system I’m privy to, the rating system used here will be a star based rating system divided into two sections. The first section will be on a scale of zero to six stars including fractional stars i.e. three and a half stars. In addition to this rating there is also an additional section that is rated from zero to three stars. This section rates the ending of the movie. There are plenty of films, Blazing Saddles is a decent example, where the film is good overall but the ending was so ill conceived and executed that it must be rated separately from the rest of the movie. Conversely, a film like the Sixth Sense where the actual movie is nothing but a fluffy, long introduction to a cool five-minute ending would acquire a high second rating and low first rating.
