This scale needs to be used more. Pretty much anything rated 6 or below nowadays is considered garbage.

there are some movies I watch that are a 5/10 critically but rate around 7.5/10 based on enjoyment. An example of that (again, this is based on my preference) is The Island

Yeah like if you're making the scale from 1 to 10, then 5 should be average. When I tell people I really enjoyed a movie and then say that it's like 7 or 7.5 they act confused. Like, 7.5 is half way to perfect.

Mine is a little like this, but switched around. It's the Drink until it's good" system where I rate it by the number of beers it took to enjoy the movie. In my system, a 10 is roughly equivalent to "Drink until you pass out" which is the worst rating a movie can get.

This is basically my system. Watched hundreds of movies and so far only one got 10/10. Talking about Parasite. Not just a masterpiece but super creative and engaging from begining till the end. Even on multiple rewatches.
