the idea that you can objectively measure the worth of a film is so ridicoulous that it's actually laughable but if you think you've find a way please provide detailed explanation of the formula you are using and teach the rest of us to apply it so we can shut down this forum once and for all and all watch the same films until the end of time


Fair enough, you're right that its impossible to have a truly objective rating. But I do have a system that I use to at least TRY and separate myself from the rating.

the objective rating simply is my rating based off of 4 criteria

#1 Character development

#2 Plot complexity, originality and soundness (Is it full of plot holes, is it your typical Romcom formula ect)

#3 Authenticity of era and region if applicable. This applies almost exclusively to movies set in the past.

#4 Actual acting of the actors which is indeed extremely subjective so I look more for acting technique and appropriateness of emotion to the scene.


I'm just trying to deliver a rating with significantly less bias from my own personal emotions or experiences.

Those are good points to look at when judging a movie for sure but they are only small tools used to paint a bigger picture, the bigger picture is usually to entertain or to make the viewer reflect upon certain things or feel certain things and if a film fail to do all of those things then it's not gunna be of much value regardless of how well crafted it is.
Besides #1, 2 and 4 are of course extremly subjective anyway.
