If you give TDKR a 2/10, what do you give something like Catwoman, The Box, or The Grudge or some of those other terrible movies that come out every year? a -3/10? I can see 4/10 making sense if someone thinks it's average or slightly below average, but 2/10 is like... terrible. Among the worst movies ever, and I don't think it fits that at all. Maybe this guy consider it that bad ? Why not after all, it's no nearly as ridiculous as people giving it a ten and calling it the best movie ever...

I like to look at movies as if they are a homework project, and I grade them accordingly. 70% is average, 80% is above average, 90% is excellent. 100% is the Big Lebowski. for me, if the movie is a 5/10 or below it's an utter failure, with almost zero redeeming qualities. only thing worse is a "Did not complete assignment" (Mystery Science Theater 3000 status) I use this same scale for all ratings, including girls. if a girl is a 5/10 she's pretty horrendous. Oh ok, that starts to make sense. In France, a 10/20 is passing, and 14/20 is already pretty fucking good. I think this system makes more sense, at least for rating movie, because you get to use to full scale instead of only half of it... | ||

Mine is (imdb style) 1-4 (pretty bad movie, though if it scores a 4, it had some entertainment value) e.g. looper, spiderman, star wars, phantom menace. 5-6 (average movie, not bad, but certainly not good. had certain stuff I liked, like narative, story, universe etc.) e.g. the counterfeiters, dark knight rises, prometheus, 7 (good movie, nice actors, decent plot. was missing something or had a terrible ending in order for it to score higher) e.g. do the right thing, 12 monkeys, the bucket list, the fugative 8-9 (Very good to excelent movie. Pretty much had everything to make a really really good movie with nice depth) e.g. Goodfellas, life is beatifull, unforgiven, changeling 10 (fav movies) e.g. Memories of murder, tonari no totoro, Heat Thats the scale I rate movies at imdb. ^^ To me it works | ||

My rating system is something like 9-10: Really good 8-9:Good 7-8: Okay 6-7: Watchable 5-6: Bad 1-5: Horrible I agree it's probably because of how they grade in the US. I'd put this movie as an 8.5. Hmmm. A 6/10 in my country isn't bad; 6.5 is the average grade. But that probably has to do with the different high school systems. | ||

The US has its weirdly top-heavy scale, but it compensates by giving marks incredibly easily. British system (O/A levels) is based at 70% A, 60% B, 50% C, below that D E F on 5% intervals, all of which are failing grades. So I agree, I imagine my personal rating system would be similar - I'd pretty much never give 10/10, 8 or 9/10 is really good, and it'd take below 5/10 to really be bad. | ||

Looking at your A-level Physics test, maybe I should apply to English university's :p. However, what do you do with everything above 70% you get A+ and what happens then? | ||

I did not see the Miranda plot-twist coming although I guessed that there was something off with Bane being supposedly the child that escaped. Didn't really feel like a Batman movie with Bat himself being either crippled or jailed most of the movie. Anyway it provided solid entertainment for me, not the best movie ever but it's a super hero movie after all... | ||

Perhaps people should be encouraged to give a brief description of their rating system before they drop the grade; it would clear up a lot of the confusion with regard to differences in everyone's systems :D | ||

However, what do you do with everything above 70% you get A+ and what happens then? Things get curved after that (often a lot, depending on the cohort), but that's a baseline! The rest of the space on the scale gives you options for still getting the full score but improving your work and comparing students. I found it annoying when I came to the US that every 'A' student occupied the same few percentages and there was no real way to recognize any difference within or past that, particularly because I feel that a student can fulfill all his expectations and be rewarded with the highest grade bracket but still have work to do. So I'd say an 8/10 movie fulfilled my expectations and I would be thoroughly pleased, while it still has potential space to be even better. As for TDKR: I enjoyed it but found there to be some parts that could use some work, mainly what's been mentioned time and time again in the thread. I'd give it around a 7/10 - a good movie, worth seeing, but with some flaws. | ||

It was too long for the amount of "relevant" content, too many subplots (undeveloped at that), and most importantly it failed to deliver a powerful emotional experience. It's saving grace is while it has a lot of flaws, it doesn't utterly fail in any one thing, making it just a long, average grade film. DK had some pretty hectic plot and character development too. Joker seems like he's been gifted with awesome powers of precognition, especially after his line: "Do I look like a guy with a plan?". For a guy with no plan, he tends to create pretty elaborate schemes with tight timings, numerous failsafes and what not. He's a step ahead of everyone all the time, coincidence? Doesn't change the fact that TDKR was pretty bad (and I still think that Burton's Batman > Nolan's Batman). | ||
