- Actually, it stresses the *criteria* used to rate them. Lesee... Riding
- Bean got 4 stars. Pretty good for an hommage to the Blues Brothers. It's
- also a fun story, and a good subbing job, so it got that extra star.
- Vampire Princess Miyu got 2 stars... looks like it's way too deep for the
- "average" viewing audience. Dangaio gets 3.5 stars--lots of action, and
- that's about it. Ditto for most of the others. Supprise! Gunbuster only got
- 2 stars, too. I guess they got at least one right :-).
-
- Anyway, any movie with lots of action in it will tend to get a high rating
- in these reviews. The more "depth" a film has, the more it makes you think
- about what's happening, or the further away it is from "traditional"
- versions of the theme, the lower the rating will get.
