If you have a site of entertainment then you're always looking for fresh, new, fun and interesting material to keep your readers coming back for more. movie reviews are a great way to do it. People want to know what someone else thinks of the film that they want to see and will scour the web looking for these opinions. Now you could syndicate the comments of another website, but why do it? You want your reader to be faithful to you and your site and I honestly want to hear what they have to say and what you think. If you're thinking of not having the faintest idea about how to write funny, movie reviews, then think again. I'm going to tell you everything you need to know.
1. Actively watch movie-Yes, I accept that watching movies is a passive activity '. Watch a movie is not something you do, is something that happens to you. However, if you want to write good reviews that you must learn to watch movies with a critical eye. This means that you must pay attention to everything and I mean everything. Notice how the actors are placed in each shot, the ' setting, camera angles, even music. All these elements play a role in the story that is looking to be told and are important to talk about if you want to write the kind of reviews that convincing your readers stops for your site every week to read ...
2. take notes-No. I do not expect to sit in a theatre with the pen and pad or a laptop in hand. But I expect to take mental notes. Information such as names of ' who was the actor or Director is easy to meet, but information such as camera shots, or plot devices is not, then you need to train not only to look for that type of information, but also to remember.
3. Summarize. Do not spoil. -This is important. C not ' is nothing worse then reading a review that tells the whole movie by ' start to finish and leaves nothing for you to see. People want your opinion, not for you to spoil the film. A basic summation of the plot is all that is needed. From there you can talk or not the plot works well or was the plot a plot at all. Let the details of the movie is revealed when your readers do not see the movie, when they read your opinion.

4. critical analysis is the key-the difference between a review anyone can write and people clamor to read review is as well to analyze the film. Think about those cards you had to write for lit class in college. The Professor doesn't want you to just say that the book was about but wanted to demolish the themes of the book and how they related to the plot, characters, etc. Well the same goes for a film review. Nobody wants a summary of the events or the plot. A good review will examine the themes or ideas movie raises and speaks of how well or not so well executed movie themes and ideas.
5. you point out the pros and cons – no film is rare are perfect, and all the bad movies, so take the time to talk about what the film does well and what is not so good.
6. be original-For some folk it two thumbs up, for others it is rotten tomatoes. Whatever you decide that you want the rating system to be, be original. Try to find a hook that works for you. Just don't do something that looks a lot like someone else or you just seem like a bad copy of the original '.
Follow these steps and you will be written the best reviews of the web has to offer and continually your readers coming back for more weeks in and out the week. Good writing.
