Why would someone who is looking for a film care about rewatchability? Presumably they'll be watching it for the first time and then can decide for themselves whether to ever watch it again.
Or did I miss the point and rewatchability is just a placeholder for something more useful?
there’s a lot of disagreement over whether it’s high quality of not, but generally this scores high-rewatchability. So, maybe not the most intelligent movie, but good fun.
What I intuitively deduced from this example is that rewatchability is metric of enjoyability.
On a single 5 stars rating, some people will give 5 stars because they really really enjoyed the movie, some others will give 5 stars because they thought the film was perfect on a cinematrographic-quality (i.e. scenario, cinematography, acting, casting, etc. insert here some academy-award-technical-category) point of view.
