From my movie collection
Created on 27/07/16
My interpretation of these ratings is as follows Under 3 are turkeys to be watched if you have masochistic tendencies. Between 3.1 and 4.0 of some interest but not much.
Between 4.1 and 6.0 mostly mediocre.
Between 6.1 and 7.0 OK movie.
Between 7.1 and 8.9 Very, very good.
Over 9.0 Should be watching the film and not reading this.
