The Movie Review

Movie reviews can be a great way of expressing how you feel about a movie, and the only reason they exist is because it will intrigue the reader to watch the film or not. Some steps to take while writing a review are:
Watching the Movie
Writing a review without watching a movie is like cutting through steak with a plastic spoon...impossible.
Give an Opinion
In movie reviews opinions are accepted (as discussed in my first post), however, if overused, can be kind of cliched. Nevertheless, if you read through movie reviews in magazines or online many critics use opinions, but they also use impartial information so they don't seem bias. And, as a good journalist, this is a good way to keep the reader interested.
Find Out who your Audience is
While writing your review you must consider the probable readers. If you're writing for children then there is obviously a different approach then writing for adults. So, make sure you add things in your review that your reader will enjoy
Synopsis
You should write a little about the movie but in a way that doesn't give much information away. You need to tell the reader vaguely what they will watch on screen. Example, if someone was going to see the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and wanted to know what it's about, then I would simply put, "A man who ages backwards." This statement is short and simple, and does in fact intrigue the reader.
Actors
Discussing the actors in a review is essential. Sometimes, when I read a review before seeing the movie it usually depends on the persons playing in the movie. If I don't enjoy their entertainment, then my hard working money will not be given to to the movie. And, this of course, goes both ways. Also, you may comment on their acting in the film. If it was good, I would certainly encourage a fellow movie watcher to go and see it.
The Script
Discussing the writing of the script will provoke a reader to see or not to see a movie, either by preference or good writing. Some people have partiality towards some pieces, like Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith. Tarantino's writings make you think about what is happening in the movie while Kevin Smith movies usually make you laugh.
Music
Sometimes music can be an important factor in film. Such as the horror film, if the movie doesn't have a good amount of "scary" music, then the movie might not give off the right affect the director wanted.
Read your review
It can be quite embarrassing when you find errors in your review. So, make sure that you check your reviews often and change them if need be.
