I loathe review scores on anything. Reducing (your opinion on) something to a number is absurd and it only gets worse the more precise the number is. I use flixster as a nice way to keep track of what I thought about movies when I saw them but I just randomly assign a vague value when it asks for a star rating. Letter 'grades' are no better.
