Still weird to me that 3/5 is accepted as bad. It's middle of the score; it's average. I have plenty of 3 star movies I watched and I like it just fine.

But yes mostly nowadays I just watch with the right cat's eyes lol

    I kinda mentally adjust it. If I see 7/10 I assume it’s very average. 8/10 is good, 9/10 and above is great. 6/10 is bad and anything worse is awful.

    So basically subtract 4 and take it as a score out of 5.

    Kinda mid bruh ngl roughly translates to "waste of my precious life".

    Its either 10/10 perfection or fuck off.

    Yeah that's fair actually. Idk why I'm still hung up on that scoring but what you're saying is what I'm doing lol

    I haven't watched many shows or movies for the past decade willy nilly because of that.

    Let's assume 3/5 corresponds to a 50% rating and that this percentage represents the ratio of good, so 50% of the film (not necessarily duration) is good, the other 50% is bad. People generally want a film where the good parts outweigh the bad parts. For a film to be really enjoyable it needs to be way above 50%. Mathematically speaking this means current rating systems have an exponential behaviour. For practical purposes it would be better to have logarithmic rating systems as that would compress bad ratings to a few low numbers and give more nuance to good ratings.
