An excellent example of its genre or era in context. Very few flaws, if any. I would most likely watch this movie again and might even buy it.
• 4 stars
It may have some flaws, but I still enjoyed watching it. I would recommend a 4-star film to someone I liked even. I have a few in my collection.

Meh. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it either. I was entertained while watching it, but as soon as the credits start rolling, I’ve already begun the process of deleting it from my brainpan. Basically forgettable.

Major plot holes, bad acting, bad directing, bad everything; I’d pretty much rather do anything else than sit through it again.
• 1 star
Unwatchable. I hated this film with the burning passion of a thousand suns. At the end of my life, a major regret will be the time I spent watching 1-star movies.
