Removing fame-dependent permission to rate would be best I think. I doubt the ones with 1 Fame represent a large segment, so it shouldn't have any substantial impact - and that's where Rating Weight come in.

How would this genre specific rating work? I mean, there are lots of genres, and there are lots of movies that go across some of these. Is it not risky to let it all out on one figure (e.g. skill), when a good PvP movie is made up of so much more? Skill most definitely has an impact on the level of entertainment, but to me humor actually has an even bigger impact. If I find myself laughing throughout a movie, it can be poorly edited or display zero skills all I care, I would never hesitate to recommend it to others. Similarly, many other things are just as important as skills.
