Bernardo Villela's Rating Scale

  1. = Terrible, no redeeming qualities, one of the worst films ever made.
  2. =Awful but of some minute value- one of the worst of the year but probably not of all-time.
  3. =A film with one maybe two strong elements but overall unforgivably poor.
  4. =A film with a few mistakes too big to overlook.
  5. =Marginally bad, a film with it's good points but ultimately suffering from a fatal flaw that prevents it from achieving decency.
  6. =A mediocre film; not bad but nothing special.
  7. =Better than average, definitely worth viewing.
  8. =A standout film with promise that is not quite fullfilled.
  9. =A film which is just an iota, a minor fix or two short of greatness.
  10. =A great film. Best genre can achieve, contender for best of year & rarely all-time. There are gradations in all ratings.
