How do I write a proper film review?

How do you write a film review?

  • Answer:

    After watching the movie, scribble some notes on what you liked and what you didn't like about it. Some things to consider are the acting, the plot, character development (did the characters grow and change as the movie progressed, or did they stay the same, and did the characters seem believable as real people, and did the movie make you care about the characters), the editing (i.e., did the movie flow smoothly from scene to scene, or did it jump abruptly from scene to scene, making you confused about what was happening and when it happened), the setting and special effects (did they seem fake, or were they believable), and the cinematography (was the movie beautiful to look at, and if so, which shots/scenes did you find the most beautiful). If you have time, you should watch the movie a second time before sitting down to write your review. Begin the review by explaining what the movie is about, including a brief plot summary. Then, use your notes to help you discuss what you liked and didn't like about the movie. Begin with the things you liked, and then discuss the things you didn't like. Then it's time to write your conclusion: overall, was it a good movie or a bad movie (or a mediocre movie) and why? Did the things you liked about it outnumber the things you didn't? Were the things you didn't like minor enough to overlook? Or were the flaws too major and too numerous to overlook? And how did the movie make you feel? Did it succeed at its purpose (i.e., if it was a comedy, did it make you laugh, or if it was a horror movie, did it scare you, or if it was a drama movie, did the sad parts make you sad). You can end the review by giving it a star rating (one star, two stars, three stars or four stars) and stating whether or not you would recommend this movie to others.
