I don't know how Coollector users rate the movies. I don't have access to that data.

A quick poll on this forum will be enough.

Exactly, it works out the same (even better) :D

What is the conversion scheme that you would suggest ?

You forgot something :D ... I don't usually rate movies.

Good Luck with your endeavor!

Now if we can only convince Netflix to have a neutral rating.... :p

Neutral is between good and bad. Sometimes it's a good movie but you didn't enjoy it. Sometimes it's a bad movie but you enjoyed it. And sometimes it's a so-so movie.

Personally, I have a problem with stars rating. A restaurant with 1 star is a good restaurant. The same for hotels. But a movie with 1 star ? Is it a good or a bad movie ?

I've never understood how we're supposed to rate with stars. Is there a consensus ? Or everyone just use the system with his own interpretation ?


You are right, I like what you said, every one like the movie in his own way.... :whistle:

Rating movie or persons in Collector for your own reference only. not for any one else...

For the reasons that I've explained, I don't want to give up our system of smileys. But it stroke me today, that we could add a plus (+) or a minus (-) to the smileys, making the rating system 3 times more accurate.

This way we could rate good+ a movie that we hesitated to rate very good, and good- a movie that we hesitated to rate neutral.

I've added this feature to my todo list. It's in the top 10 ;)

Also, 3 x 7 = 21 => when the import feature is available (also in my top 10), it'll be straightforward to import the ratings from programs with a scale of 20, or a scale of 10, or a scale of 5.
