Ratings System

Ever wondered how I judge movies on my rating system, and what the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) ratings mean exactly? Check it out here.

COSMR'S RATING SYSTEM

****--Amazing!

***1/2--A great movie, and not very flawed.

***--Good, but not great.

**1/2--Average.

**--Below average; not very good, but with some redeeming qualities.

*1/2--Almost completely awful, with maybe one or two saving graces.

*--Cinematic dung. No other explanation.
