how are reviews scored and what do they mean? some of my reviews that i think are pretty ordinary have 5/5, and some that i think are especially witty have 2/5 or are unscored. someone please explain. |

I've read Cuckoo's Nest and it's still my all-time favorite movie.
The book is good too, but they are very different... two sides of a coin, both shiny, all valuable. |

Oh no. Now some bright spark is going to tell me why none of those deserved more than 4. 
Never was into things like Alien, never heard of Dam Busters but it is hard to believe that anyone who has read the book of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, would have ever rated it higher than 3.
(And people who have read The English Patient, would have rated the movie 2 at best.)

OK, one more. i've seen some films scored 6/5. how does that work?
Hi damalc, once you hit 500 reviews you unlock the power of the dark side to do a few things different. I think it is 1000 reviews that lets you score 6 out of 5.
Check here....... http://www.fwfr.com/statuses.asp
Ah... so that's how you could rate a film 0/5! |

The red X allows you to clear your scoring of the particular film. The dot to the right allows you to flag films, for whatever reason you choose. You have a "flagged films" button on you myfwfr page. |

How does the scoring of movies work? I assume that I click a bar and that says what I think about the film. But what does the red "x" mean? And what is the circle next to the bars for? I've clicked it and watched it turn blue, but I don't know what that means.

6 for those sounds fine to me, Koli.

Think I'll save that for when I get round to reviewing 'Scary Movie 3'

I'd answer that, but you probably wouldn't notice.

I always check fwfr and imdb ratings before seeing a film, but what I rely on most is Film Affinity.
It has a rating for every film, which is about as useful as imdb - but what is really neat is that if you rate some films yourself, the site will run some algorithms to compare how you vote with how other users vote, and will find the 20 or so users whose votes most match yours.
You can then check out for any film you're thinking of seeing not only what the total average rating is, but also the individual scores each of your 'film soulmates' has given it, and the average score your 'soulmates' have given it. I find it suprisingly accurate in predicting if I'm going to like a film or not.
You can also add a list of 'friends' to check how they rate a movie - I only have one friend (and he probably doesn't even know it) - noncentz. Obviously that's the gauge I rely on most ....
Can't remember who found the site first, but it was somewhere in the fourum
