Rickter Scale
An in-depth record of the movies I've watched

About the Scale


The Rickter Scale judges movies and TV seasons on several numeric categories, plus a "vibe check" statement of how I felt immediately after watching it.


Rewatchability: How much do I want to watch this again at some point?

Compelling Characters: How often do characters make decisions that are in-character? Are they enjoyable to watch?

Supercalifragilisticexpialidociousness: How much do I like this movie for reasons unrelated to the movie itself (i.e. the actors, the nostalgia, etc.)?

Pacing: How well does the movie use its runtime?

Cinematography: How many frames could stand alone as a piece of art?

Infrastructure: How well does the movie's construction -- editing, soundtrack, timing -- evoke emotion?
