The Fridge / Re: Rating YOUR ratings?!
« Last post by ImpracticalDino on June 01, 2024, 10:33:44 PM »@Sneak: Ah, okay. So it is generally about personal liking/enjoyment of something. Thank yo-o-ou! Yep, yep, yep. Your explanation here does answer my concerns about how you view your rating scale there.
And Mo-o-o is quite the same actually. I'm quite glad to not have been lured into the overly seriously, overly cynical, potentially nitpicky world of "professional" film/media/book critique. Not that those type of reviews don't have any merits at all, but in my opinion that can just really ruin the overall experience of letting go, enjoying, and indulging into a series or film. In many cases it can help you really appreciate and love something that you already like in the first place, but in other cases it can lead to you just being overly critical, negative, nitpicky, and downright ruins your chances of being able to like something that you could probably enjoy in the first place if those "critical" analysis glasses were just taken off. It reminds me of a channel called CinemaSins. At first it was sort of funny to me, then I quickly realized how the channel was really souring the enjoyment and perception of some things that I was watching (plus the people "sinning" some of the films they choose on their channel, literally shows that they have zero clue or research on what they're talking about for many things. And if your curious more about it, there are some debunking videos of CinemaSins out there).
Though in the end, I suppose its all about the balance. Being able to enjoy something despite being able to also see the flaws of a technical or professional aspect is a great mindset for professional reviewers to have. It should be a way to keep those people level-grounded and appreciate what they are analyzing in front of them no matter the end product.
