I have not seen a lot of films over the last 5 years I mainly try and see the critically praised movies and the odd fun film like the Dawn of the Dead remake yesterday. I have recorded over 1000 films in my database which one day I will get around to writing reviews for. of those 1000 there is 17 films I have as a 5 star out of 5 effort. And several of those are very borderline.

I count a great film as a 4 star effort. So it may very well be a difference in grading criteria.

If you look at someone like Leonard maltin and Roger Ebert you'll see a LOT more 4 star films from Ebert - he gives em out like candy. Maltin does not...he's a lot tougher and rarely gives 4 stars.
