* I may stop watching a film after 30-45 minutes if it fails to grab my attention or is just "not my thing". I cannot rate a film if I haven't watched it from beginning to end.

About 20% of all films I watch get a rating 7 or above - these are the films that I'm likely to own and are happy to view repeatedly. 60% of the films I've rated get a 5 or 6 - they're not bad films, it's just that I'm unlikely to want to see them again.

My preferred genre is Science Fiction. Films from the 70s, 80s and 90s tend to get a boosted rating because I grew up with those films.

I tend to rate "comic book" franchises, "Lord of the Rings" and Christopher Nolan films 5, 6 and 7 - they're very much style over substance, IMO.
