JWorld Rating System

JWorld Critic Scale of Movies
Rating
Description
JWorld example
1
The worst most putrid, horrid disgusting waste of a movie.
Pokeman the movie and Heavans Gate comes to mind
2
Almost as bad as 1, but you can find 1 minor redeeming quality in the movie
Beastmaster
3
You would have been better off staying home and watching a made for TV movie
I have selectivly eliminated these movies from my memory
4
Maybe worth seeing, but not much more
Cocktail
5
Fun, worth seeing on a date night, or with the family, but nothing substantial
Any action film, and most romantic comedies fall in here
6
A movie with good acting, or a good plot but not both, maybe visually breathtaking
Star Wars, Silence of the Lambs, American Graffeti, Goodfellas
7
A very good movie with good acting and a good plot, or a very excellent comedy
The Siege, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Taxi Driver, Easy Rider
8
An excellent movie that you would see again - Acadamy award material or better
It’s a Wonderful Life, Annie Hall, The Grapes of Wrath, The best years of our lives
9
Something deeply moving that you will remember the rest of your life
Rainmaker, Seven, Casablanca, Barfly, ET, The Lion in Winter, Boys n the Hood
10
One of the greatest movies ever. On your top ten list of all time
The Razors Edge, Inherit the Wind, Godfather I&II, Shoah, The Magnificent Seven, Field of Dreams, 25th Hour
