Not all film critics have approved of star ratings. Film scholar Robin Wood wondered if "Sight and Sound" readers accepted "such blackening of their characters." Jay Scott of Canada's "The Globe and Mail" was an opponent of using symbols to summarize a review and wrote in 1992 that "When Globe editors first proposed the four-star system of rating movies about a year ago, the response from Globe critics was, to put it mildly, underwhelming." More recently, Mark Kermode has expressed a dislike of star ratings (assigned to his online reviews but not his print or radio reviews) on the grounds that his verdicts are sometimes too complex to be expressed as a rating.
