Many critics assign numbered scores to movies, but very few use a universal system across the board that the audience themselves can use. Here on The Movie Rubric, we narrowed down the 5 most important categories to a films success, and made a grading rubric that we will use to score each movie, much like a teacher would grade a paper, to make sure we give each movie a fair shake, and the same criteria. Join us as we do our best to sound smart, and try even harder to not sound stupid, and review some of the best and worst movies coming out today!
