Film Review Criteria

Below is how we score films here at Bits & Bytes. We grade movies on a scale 0f 1 to 10. If Bits & Bites was invited to an early screening of a film, this will be noted in the review. However, all films are graded on the same criteria and this does not impact our recommendations.

​

• 10: Masterpiece

  • A virtually flawless movie that will be remembered for generations to come.

• 9: Brilliant

  • An amazing film with minimal flaws. Does something incredibly memorable, noteworthy, or both.

• 8: Great

  • A movie with some flaws that are overcome by the sum of its parts.

• 7: Good

  • A flawed film that entertains but is nothing special.

• 6: Above Average

  • A movie whose flaws hold the production back, but can still mildly entertain.

• 5: Average

  • Watchable but nothing more. Forgotten after a viewing.

• 4: Bad

  • Full of​ flaws but still might warrant a watch out of curiosity.

• 3: Terrible

  • Massively flawed movie is consistently unenjoyable to watch.​

• 2: Laughable

  • So bad it can be entertaining, but likely not worth most people's time and money.​

• 1: Unwatchable

  • Unmitigated failure.​
