But very few people actually use the Alphabet grading system for movies. If you noticed, I mentioned imdb and rottentomatoes.

Also, rating something A or B or B- is not standard across countries. B- in USA is 80 to 82%, but in UK, B- is 60- 64.99%


But wait! Metacritic uses percentage and fraction!

Beorn:



My bad. It wasn't Metacritic I was suppose to type, I meant Cinemascore.

Baddestguyp:
I think his point was that this alphabetical rating is a very sîlly and vague rating...

Whenever I see it myself, I personally ignore it...
It's too vague, you can't really tell from it...
Same as most people... because the alphabets can represent different scores...

I think Cinemascore do it so people focus more on their reviews than the score itself...


Same as the review I see on this thread. Whenever I see alphabetical scores, I personally ignore it and focus on the review itself...the score is pointless

so yes...using alphabets to score movies is a sîlly rating system except your intention is to get people to focus on the review and not the score


If you simply dropped an alphabet without a review to accompany it, it would be clownery...but with a review, it makes more sense

Broskyjames:
Cinemascore doesn't do reviews, it's just metric site to measure how good or bad a movie is from an audience point of view. Doesn't this invalidate all you just said?

Beorn:



I really don't see it that way or feel it's silly. I just think it's what they are more comfortable with or they chose to stand out from the rest of the pack using that style. Just like you have some media outlets using "stars" to rate or judge in their movies reviews.


Personally, I don't like it though and have never visited Cinemascore till few minutes ago when I went there to prove my point. I only come across them when I read the Wikipedia pages of certain movies and that's how I knew they use alphabet to rate their movies. I'm not fan of such ratings. I prefer rating from 1-10.

Baddestguyp:
well I don't use Cinemascore anyway...
I just see their scores and don't click...

I hate alphabetical scores

The only movie I anticipated this year which kinda didn't disappoint is extrACTION , fully lived up to it's name..

Would have given them a solid 9/10 but they didn't kill off that stupid Sandro kid.."Snitches must get stitches"..

It's so sad we have to tolerate you here because 80% of your post, you are always waging pointless wars, no meaningful contributions or meaningful reviews, always with a match to start a fire when nothing is cooking. This is like your 4th or 5th moniker now, with zero changes to the unsavoury way you have been acting, don't you ever sit down to evaluate and see you have some deep rooted issues? Go out and touch grass sometimes, whilst i hope you find the help you so desperately need.

Broskyjames:
So i think it boils down to preference and the matter here is that you prefer the fraction ratings. Using Alphabet or fractions or Percentage is basically the same. I have even seen stars as ratings, If you see any of these rating style, it shouldn't be that hard to figure out the metric guage the person is tending towards. It's a none issue in my opinion.

WriterNig:


Chill. That was his uncle, his family.

Are you saying you'll trust a complete stranger who showed up out of the blue to rescue you from something you have no idea about?

Sandro did what a smart kid would. Never trust strangers, only family.

Baddestguyp:
if A+ is the highest, then what is the lowest?

C- ?
D?
F?

Or maybe even "S" could be the highest

GloriousGbola:

Baddestguyp:
stars... especially 1-10 stars is still great...
Most people can understand it...
IMBD uses stars but final score is in digits...

The whole alphabetical score is too vague... different sites can have different meaning of these alphabets

A+ is the highest, then what is the lowest?
D? C-? F?

I'm assuming you went to school, so you want to tell me you don't know were the Alphabetic metrics ends or you just want to clown yourself?

SOZINN:
So, The Flush had a B cinemascore, I remember someone telling me to wait for the cinemascore that this would be an unbiased take. I wonder who DC fans will blame this on now. These movies are above it's level. 😂

Beorn:


I'd like to believe F is the lowest. From our schools' metric of rating our performances in exams, A1 (A+ in the Cinemascore universe) is the highest, while F9 is the lowest.

Baddestguyp:
is this a guess or real?
I have never seen below a C on Cinemascore

And alphabetical metrics are not constant lol

Some metrics see "S" as the highest grade...some see "A"
Some see "A+"

Same as lowest...some metrics don't use up to "F"...some use "C" as lowest...some use "

Nigerian University no be movie...some unis don't even use A+...it's A...even B+ and B- don't exist in some

SOZINN:
When Ant Man 3 came out and one dude was spamming the thread with photos of MODOK he got on Twitter, talking shît about a movie he didn't even see in the cinemas, I didn't do anything. Now that the flush is out and I'm returning the favor he has realized that we are supposed to see the movie for ourselves first before talking shît, what a fuckîng hypocrite. I've not even started yet and I'm not even hyped to see this shît, currently hooked on warrior season 1. Oh and please if you don't understand what we're doing just shut it. This is tradition 😁.

Baddestguyp:
I don't follow Cinemascore but I haven't seen any movie rated below a C by them...

And alphabetical metrics are not constant lol

Some metrics see "S" as the highest grade...some see "A"
Some see "A+"

Same as lowest...some metrics don't use up to "F"...some use "C" as lowest...some use "

Nice cameo

These nostalgia bait is getting more embarrassing. Even dead actors are now making cameos...
