Hey, thanks for posting the review here. Just wondering what your overall rating (like 2.5 / 5 or 2 / 4 or whatever system you'd like to use) for the movie is. We index all contributions in a variety of indexes, and on your specific index, I include the ratings as part of the index. Also, if more than one person reviews the same movie (and we really love multiple reviews), I put a Community Average Rating in the Movies Index.

From my perspective, average movies really suck to attempt to write. I've belted out more than my fair share of reviews about movies I don't feel too strongly about, and sometimes it just kills my creative juices. I always try to find a hook, and some movies are hook-less.

I don't know if it's an edit after the fact, but the score is under the title. 2.5 out of 5.

If this was an edit after the fact then I'm sorry to question your intelligence skooch :)

It was after the fact.

It's possible that it was there and I'm just an idiot. I'm not used to looking for ratings there.
