I’ve been using Criticker for a little while now and had thought about writing a post on why I love it so much. Thankfully, the folks at Criticker saved me the hassle.

I turned to Criticker when I was looking for a movie rating website that worked the way my brain does. I used to score films out of 10.0. Yes, out of 10 including a decimal place. That’s massively more precise than any of the major movie rating websites. I appreciate the advantage of using a smaller scale, but I’ve always wanted something more detailed. Enter, Criticker.

9. Flexible and Detailed Rating System. Rate titles on a 100-point scale for nuanced feedback, or if that’s too much, use whatever rating scale you choose! From 0-100, 0-10, or even 1-5, Criticker will understand and adapt to the way you like to rate movies.

While I used to score films out of 10.0, I could achieve the same results just going to 100. And when the reason I sought out Criticker is only number 9 in their list of 10 reasons to use it, you can hopefully understand why my slightly neurotic, nerdy brain was thrilled by what this website offers!

One of the most interesting features is their Taste Compatibility Index (TCI) system:

1. Personalized Recommendations with the TCI System. Criticker’s unique Taste Compatibility Index (TCI) analyzes your ratings and compares them to thousands of other users. This means you get recommendations from people whose tastes truly align with yours — not just what’s popular at the moment.

This system is based on percentiles, which allows each user to have their own personalised rating scale. Smart.

There’s a whole host of other reasons to check it out.Well, 8 other reasons if you’re just going by their blog post. Give it a go. I’m sure you’ll love it.
