5 gives just enough range. Awful -> Bad -> Average -> Good -> Great

With a 4 star scale you're skipping something in between.

Do you really need 2 distinctions for bad though? What about about just bad average good great?

if the list is extensive, then the more the better, allows for proper comparing

what's the point of rating if they'll all be generalized into categories that hardly separate them

Thats not symmetrical.

Theres good and bad, but nothing to match great.

That's... youtube's reasoning for getting rid of the 5 stars format it used to have though and replacing it with thumbs up thumbs down

I prefer 4.

When you have a 5 star scale it just causes reviews to cluster around the centre.

With four stars you have to commit to calling a film either good or bad.

How many stars determine good or bad though?
