No offense but the scale used for rating movies is probably the most useless and biased possible. You do realize that movies are rated on a curve? My personal experience would have great movies like Return of the King and a Fistful of Dollars getting 3/5 stars and perfectly watchable films such as Shaun of the Dead and Rear Window being rated a 2/5. It's not the movie's fault that I refuse to watch garbage.
Now, if you're suggesting a four point rating system that has nothing to do with the sliding scale used by movie critics then that too is an awful idea. All this accomplishes is overreaching generalizations as many games are lumped together under banners such as rent and buy. What if I have a different opinion on what is worth renting or buying? The score at the end of the review is much less meaningful compared to the review's content but it does contribute to metascores which I do find to be somewhat helpful. I just wish that critics would do a better job as a whole and I don't think that changing the scoring system is going to help.
