Can you not just double your rating to have the denominator match?
Yeah of course, but I'd only be giving out 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Even apart from that they all use numbers different. I try to do it where 4 stars mean I really liked it an 5 stars means I LOVED it. But a lot of them refuse to give 10 because they don't want to say anything is "perfect." I have given a few 6 star rating just as a way to communicate it's one of my all time favorites (Spider verse 2019, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Puss & Boots the last wish are some examples) which is sort of similar to them giving a 10 but some of them seriously just never give 10s. I use 6 stars as more of a "5 star but let me clear, I think this shit is one of the best".
Even to me who is saying "I give this 3 out of 5" it somehow feels extremely different than saying "I give this 6 out of 10" so I don't really like to do it. I view star ratings more as buckets to put movies in more than a rating. Like there are five buckets and I put which it goes in. Idk. It makes sense in my head.
