Are you a tough or easy film critic?

I'm not sure how many people on the forum use the ratings function but I'm always curious how my film ratings stack up against everyone else's. I always thought I was a fair when it came to ratings but maybe I'm actually a bit harsher than others after looking at my numbers.

Of the nearly 1200 films that I've rated on imdb and then imported to Blu-Ray.com, my average score is 5.99 which is -1.26 lower than the average rating. I usually only watch films that I think I'll enjoy (with a few exceptions), so this number could actually be quite a bit lower if I watched many of the films that come out in the theater. Keep in mind, I've only been consistently rating films since 2012 and I've been an avid filmgoer for almost 40 years so their is a huge gap in the films that are not rated. I do revisit older films often and also rate films that I watched in the past if I have a good recollection of a particular film.

I'm a little stingy when it comes to giving out perfect scores as I have only given 17 films a perfect 10 out of those nearly 1200 ratings but I also almost never give out a score of 1 (only 6 films).

I'm curious as to the film rating habits of others in the forum.

Are you a tough or easy film critic?

Do you rate films at all?

Are their any films that you've rated either really high or low that may surprise others?

Please share your overall average if you have them imported to Blu-Ray.com
