Movie Ratings - IMO


This is a post not about the extremely flawed and outdated MPAA, but about what I feel a movie should actually be rated.


Take Talladega Nights, it's rated by Encore at 3 stars. This is by far too generous IMO. It should get no more than 2 stars. The first portion of the film is like pulling teeth for me and others. We had to force ourselves through it at different viewings until it took a 180 degree turn and became watchable.


(Actually it could be that the negative opinion of pay-tv movies channels showing mostly 2 stars or less movies most of the time is causing them to upgrade the rating on lesser movies.)


More later.
