3 Things That Turbadiesel Movies Should Accomplish (Part 2)

This is a continuation of my previous post highlighting my three goals for Turbadiesel Movies.

  2. Efficient way to access relevant information quickly

I can't be the only one who hates spending time skimming through multiple movie reviews in searching for a specific piece of information.  I have several summary items in mind, but hopefully readers will offer suggestions for more items they would like to be added.  The items that I'm currently planning on including are as follows:
  1. Rating - This one should be obvious.  We'll be using a five star rating system.  We have yet to decide if it should be a composite rating, or the main reviewer's individual rating.
  2. Accuracy - This will only apply if it was based off of source material.  We will have a scale ranging from 0 to 5 that indicates how true the movie is to its source material.
  3. After the credits - An indicator that lets the reader know whether or not they should sit through 10 minutes of credits to see who the villain in the sequel will be.
  4. Spoilers - Another 0 to 5 scale based on how careful you need to be until you see the movie to avoid spoilers.  A movie like After Earth probably deserves a 0, while a movie like The Prestige earns a 5.  The more plot twists in the movie, and the more likely people are to talk about said plot twists, the higher this element will score.
In addition to these summary items, our reviews will also be highly structured so as to make similar information easy to find.  If you are familiar with our layout, you should theoretically be able to find whatever element of the review you're looking for in seconds.
