The overall rating (star rating) is not an average of the individual categories as some are weighted more heavily than others, and this also varies depending on the film, genre, and time period in which it was made. It has to do more with the overall feeling from the film than anything else. However, the screenplay and plot usually carry the most weight. Concept/Originality takes into consideration that sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots, and book adaptations have to be based on previous works.
This list includes B movies and foreign films.

- DirectorAlfonso Corona BlakeManuel San FernandoStarsSantoClaudio BrookNorma MoraEl Santo, the masked Mexican wrestler, investigates a series of kidnappings. He discovers that the mysterious Doctor Caroll is using the victims as part of his experiments to develop an army of monsters. Naturally, El Santo is able to overcome them all - with wrestling!Suggestion: Skip thru the 3 plot-obstructing wrestling matches (rewatch later if so desired), as these scenes are essentially intermissions to showcase Santo in the ring, and are way too long for a background/side story. Talk about an extraneous subplot. This couldn't have been the filmmakers' decision. I didn't subtract points for this.
