117s first dedicated film magazine. Combining in-depth, on-set features from the biggest films in development with insight, humour and comprehensive reviews, the magazine grew to become a household name and one of the most trusted movie brands in the world, guest-edited by the like of Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Sam Mendes. Now far more than a print magazine, Empire publishes online daily, has four <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/podcasts/">award-winning podcasts</a> in <a href="https://hellorayo.co.uk/podcasts/the-empire-podcast/" rel="noopener">The Empire Film Podcast</a>, <a href="https://hellorayo.co.uk/podcasts/pilot-tv-podcast/" rel="noopener">Pilot TV</a>, <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/empire-spoiler-special-film-podcast-sign-up/">The Empire Spoiler Special Podcast</a>, and <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/pilottv/">Pilot TV+</a>, and stages regular live events for premium subscribers.</p></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><h3><strong>Editorial Policy</strong></h3></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><p>Empire adheres to strict journalistic standards, ensuring our content is fully fact-checked and correctly sourced. Of all our content, reviews form the cornerstone of the Empire brand. Our reviews are unbiased and uninfluenced by advertising, affiliate deals or any other commercial factors. They are entirely reflective of the personal opinions of our team of expert critics.</p></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><h3><strong>How We Rate Films, TV Shows, And Games</strong></h3></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><p>Empire uses a five-star rating system for all of our reviews, be they <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/best-movies-2/">films</a>, <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/tv/features/best-tv-shows/">TV shows</a> or <a href="https://www.empireonline.com/gaming/features/100-best-video-games/">games</a>. While we always recommend reading the entire review to properly appraise a title, a general guide to the star ratings is:</p></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><p><strong>One star:</strong> Terrible, avoid at all costs.</p></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><p><strong>Two stars:</strong> A mediocre title. Has some redeeming features but is generally unexceptional and may not be worth your time.</p></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><p><strong>Three stars:</strong> Good. This is a recommendation — the film may not be perfect but the review is largely favourable.</p></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><p><strong>Four stars:</strong> Very good. An outstanding title that is definitely worth your time.</p></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><p><strong>Five stars:</strong> Unmissable. An incredible release that you owe it to yourself to see. A potential classic.</p></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><h3><strong>The Team</strong></h3></span><span class="content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content" data-test="content"><p>Empire employs a broad team of expert film and TV writers consisting of both staff writers and freelance contributors.
