More rating options

Trakt Feature Requests
1

Next to a general rating button to rate a movie for example it would be cool to have an opt in option to enable specific rating options to rate the camerawork, the acting, the storyline and things like that separate from the overall ratings. Im not sure if its something doable or even something one would want in a service like trakt but it was just an idea i had.

Perhaps a good idea for when people leave reviews. Like how MyAnimeList does it. You can rate the anime if you’re just a casual watcher. But if you’re a reviewer, with your review you can also rate different aspects like animation, characters, voice work et cetera.

Personally I’m not interested in it, but I can imagine reviewers might be! Sometimes I already see reviews with like such ratings incorporated into their review.

More rating options would be great, I personally would love the ability to rate different languages (voice acting).

And just so there is no confusion…
I don’t mean the ability to rate every voice-actor on their own.
As for this you not only would need to have a datasource with the proper information on voice-actors (which to my knlowedge TMDB doesn’t provide). You would also have to add an additional entry for every voice-actor and, first and foremost, you would also obviously need the ability to rate people (actors, directors, composers,…)…which isn’t even a thing right now.
(However rating people on there performances might also be an interesting idea. I mean that’s what awards are all about.)

For me it would be sufficient to rate the different language versions e.g:

  • The Hunger Games: I prefer German over English.
  • Star Wars: I prefer German over English, especially because most characters have the same voice-actor for live-action and animation (allegedly the voice-actors where obligated to do so)
    • English:
      • (Adult) Anakin Skywalker (Animation) is voiced by Matt Lanter
      • (Adult) Anakin Skywalker (Live-Action) is played (voiced) by Hayden Christensen
    • German:
      • (Adult) Anakin Skywalker (Animation) is voiced by Wanja Gerick
      • (Adult) Anakin Skywalker (Live-Action) is voiced by Wanja Gerick
  • Rick and Morty: English over German (I like English much better than German in this case…even after they had to change the English voice-actor)
  • Black Clover: I only watched the German version, but this always made me question the comments about “Astas annoying screaming”.

Secondly…since we have Trakt official lists.
I would love to not just “like” a particular list but to actually rate them e.g.:

  • Different parts of a franchise: MCU - Phase 1, Star Wars - Skywalker Saga
  • Or a franchise as a whole: MCU, Star Wars, The Wizarding World, Middle Earth…

This would also be interesting when considering language ratings from above.
As an example: (again) I prefer the Star Wars (Franchise) in German, because most characters have the same voice-actor for live-action and animation.

Additionally…tying this with calculating ratings from bottom to top. Thus, there would be no requirement but still the possibility to set a rating for every entry, and even if you only rate one episode if influences the subordinate entries (see http://forums.trakt.tv/t/average-ratings-for-seasons-entire-series/1902/12)

  • Episodes → Season → Show → Phase / Saga → Franchise
  • Movies → Trilogy → Phase / Saga → Franchise
