Why are the stars gone from the movie reviews?

They're only grey on my screen. Has anyone else noticed this?

There were red stars. Now there are 5 grey stars at the top of each review.

That is why they have greyed out your prior ratings. It's either up or down. Irritating for me. I like to see how others rate what I rate. Up or down is not a good indicator for me.

It's a dumb system. For some reason, everything was getting five red stars even when someone totally panned a movie.

Maybe we should start the review with how many stars we'd give it. I hate having to read half a review to figure out if the reviewer liked it or not. Maybe Netflix will take a hint and bring back the star rating system. Yea, right!
