    Half-Star Ratings!!!

    You asked for it - we did it. Being able to rate a movie
    2 1/2 or 3 1/2 stars was the single most common request
    we got recently.

    You can thank Saran for this one.

    Absolutely awesome, and the forums are included in that.
    This is really a great site here. And the only two
    quirks I had you just fixed, you in the mind-readin'
    business? Thanks a bunch, keep up the good work? Im
    sure you will so I dont know why I said that but hey
    whatever :)

    Hi. Just noticed that you've instituted a
    10-point ratings system in flixster. Although
    it's probably too late, I think a 9-point scale
    (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5) would work
    better. The problem with 10 point scales is
    that the average rating is a 5.5, a rating
    cannot be given. Similarly, in your system the
    average rating is 2.75. I can't give a movie
    this rating. If you just eliminate the "0.5"
    rating it would probably work a lot better
    (besides, a 0.5 rating is pretty silly as the
    lowest possible rating; if you're going to
    allow that you shoudl allow zero)

    Otherwise, great job on the site.

    Half stars are the bomb. Like it alot and I
    think it will make ratings more relevant.

    Now this is the feature we needed, Saran if you
    read this - you are a champion. I've already
    started re-rating a lot of my movies and can
    finally give Batman and Robin half-a-star! That
    was a long time coming.

    this long to get around it. who was batman in that one?

    others.

    Indeed, it has allowed me to give more accurate
    reviews.

    However, are we able to give a film we really
    don't like... 0 stars?

    You'll want me for trivia.

    George Clooney was the unfortunate miscast for
    that one. Joel Schumacher was an idiot to think
    he'd be right for that role. Kilmer was stale
    in Batman Forever, but Clooney was outright
    horrible.

    And the first is the best, followed very
    closely by the Nolan masterpiece, Batman
    Begins. Jack Nicholson is just so awesome as
    the Joker.

    hehe, yeh, me too.
    thought i was going mad- it useful cos i some films aren't 4 or 5 and 4.5 is perfect. So rock on.
    oh, yeh, please can we have a 0 stars so can absolutely make it clear that the film is awful- or a "couldn't sit through it all" or such like?

    I half-star rate all the time!

    Thank God for half-stay ratings! XD

    Hey Joe,
    Ever since you introduced the half-star ratings feature, i've wanted to go through some of my existing rating and fix them; however, this is taking me way too long to go through them and i was wondering if there's any chance of making it easier to re-rate your movies when you "view all ratings"? Just curious. Thanks.

    <333,

    Great, but having a zero star rating would also be good, such litting all the stars in black or blue or something.
