0/5- It's very rare a film will get this, but sometimes film-makers simply want you to come and see this rubbish. I've never awarded such a low ranking, but at this point I'd pretty much want to ask for my money back at the cinema.
1/5- A predictable plot, terrible acting and/or sequelitis will often cause this score, but once again it's very uncommon. I'd rate Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 this because it wasn't worth seeing, but here you have to avoid it at all costs.
2/5- Another rare one, this basically means that unless its a sequel and you're a die-hard fanatic of that franchise who has to see everything to do with it, it's not worth watching (unless you find it for about £3 on DVD). Shrek The Third might be an example of this, as it was a useless addition.
3 or 3.5/5- At 3, I'm saying it doesn't live up to the hype (e.g. Predators), and at 3.5 it will basically depend on how much you want to see it as to whether it's worth it. For example, I gave Shrek Forever After a 3.5 due to its lack of originality, but my fan side loved seeing a decent Shrek movie again with the cast back at their best.
4 or 4.5/5- Things heat up here: 4 moves into the category of seeing it if you've been looking for something to go and watch and/or have been following the trailers, and 4.5 constitutes a nigh-on must-see film with a couple of flaws (e.g. too short or too long, dragged out scenes, wasted cameos)
5/5- Film masterclass: only certain epics get this such as Avatar, or hilarious comedies such as Get Him To The Greek, or even out of the blues like Sherlock Holmes and Cemetry Junction. These you have to watch at some point!
