Entertainment - 50 points

Was I entertained? Did I care about the ending? Did I snooze in the middle? This category is half of the score because, when I watch a movie, most of all I really want is to entertained.

Story - 20 points

Did they tell me a good story?

Acting - 10 points

I don't know much about acting, but I can see when it is bad.

Achievement - 10 points

Did it achieve what it set out to do? If it was a comedy, did it make you laugh? If it was a feel gooder, did it make you feel good? Was it a drama that was so bad you laughed at it? Not every movie sets out to be great, some just want to do their thing.

Longevity - 5 points

Did I think about it for a few days? Do I want to watch it over and over? Is it quotable?

Ending - 5 points

Oh so critical: 0:bad, 2: satisfactory (it fits and is reasonable), 3:good, 4: very good, 5: One of the best endings of all time

Discretion - 5 points

Points I can give if I feel like it; like I say "man I really liked this"; "the music was great"; "awesome presentation" (bonus points only)

Unique - 3 points

Was it a unique idea? Was it unique in execution? Did it make me sit up and say 'hey this might be cool' (bonus points only)

Dramatic Violations - 20 points penalty

Does it violate or ignore my undefined tenents of drama? Did it try to get too cute?
