My Scale:
0 — I didn't enjoy it enough
1 — I enjoyed it enough
2 — I enjoyed it a ridiculous amount
Maybe about 5-10% of shows/movies I watch get a 2. The most recent to was
Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
Outside of review aggregation like RT's, or the evaluation of a limited pool of movies (e.g., all of a single director's movies), grades and ratings have never struck me as important. If I'm reading an individual poster or blogger's reviews, the only distinctions I need are between "highly recommend," "recommend," and "wouldn't recommend." And drawing a distinction between 8/10 and 8.5/10 or whatever is kind of like a solipsistic, compactified form of the type of "critical" conversation limited to insights like "X is better than Y" and "No, Y is totally better than X."
