HOW TO WRITE A MOVIE REVIEW ?
http://www.enotes.com/topics/how-write-summary
Whether you're interested in writing movie reviews for profit or just for fun, it's not too tough.
Just follow a few steps to make your feelings on the latest flicks known.
A great way to catch up on today's most popular films in the comfort of your own home is to use Stream Online Movies;
this popular site has one of the world's largest databases of legal films available for streaming online.
Here's how to write a film review.
1. After you have selected your movie, get familiar with its context.
By this I mean, before you even see the movie, get to know a little about it.
What have the actors and director worked on before?
Maybe check out some of their past work. Are they Oscar winners?
Are they known for a certain style?
Is the movie based on a book or an historical event?
Is it a remake or a sequel?
Look into those kind of things.
All of this information will help you understand the movie better.
You'll pick up on details, allusions, trademarks of the actor or director, and probably have more insight into important story elements.
You'll be able to tell readers how it lived up to the original, say, or the book.
These are the things that help a critic write a solid movie review that is of interest to the fan.
2. After you see the movie, formulate a specific opinion in one sentence.
Your job as movie reviewer is to give an opinion of the movie.
Ultimately, this may come down to a "thumbs up" or "three stars out of five."
But you want to have a specific thesis to drive your critique.
For example, "I didn't like this comedy" becomes "The story had funny moments but it went on too long."
"This horror movie is good" becomes "This horror movie works because it builds suspense right up until the end."
So, try to find that very specific opinion that will be the foundation of your film review.
3. Create a good lead. There are basic writing tips that apply to most forms
of writing.
One of those tips is to grab your reader immediately.
You want your reader to be interested in what you have to say.
Grab her in that first or "lead" paragraph in one of several ways:
Start with a great quote from the movie, and explain how it reflects the movie;
refer to the reputation of the actor or director and compare it to how he or she did in this movie;
compare this movie to another well-known film in a few sentences or two; explain what your expectation was,
and then if it was fulfilled or not.
Then end that first paragraph by writing your opinion statement.
4. Recap briefly, but don't give away anything big.
If you've read professional movie reviews, you know they always include a little bit of recap.
Some readers like to know what they're getting into before they lay down their money for a ticket.
You can tell people the basic premise of the movie.
In fact, you should write the basic premise, ...
Now tell them how the story builds, but don't give away key moments, especially not the ending!
And keep the movie synopsis brief. Then get to reviewing.
5. Back up your main opinion with specifics.
The readers now know you think "This comedy had funny moments but went on too long."
It's time for you to prove it.
Write about how the teen actors had good timing like they did in that other movie.
Write about how the writers did a great parody of that famous film.
But then add that there were too many scenes involving the family or the boyfriend.
Talk about the fact that there were multiple endings and all of them were long.
Use specifics to make your readers see you're right.
6. Be interesting. Just because this is a movie review doesn't mean it's got to
be dull.
From lead to ending paragraph, make the review engaging,
using metaphors, analogy, specific adjectives and adverbs in your movie ratings
and reviews to create the images you're looking for.
But also be concise.
A review isn't a place for long diatribes or flowery prose.
Then again, where is the place for long diatribes and flowery prose?
7. Be honest in your appraisal.
Your reader and the work you're critiquing both deserve an honest opinion, right?
So even if you HATE that actor or LOVE that actress,
when writing a movie review be sure not to hold back your true opinion of the film.
Have some standards in mind.
A comedy should be funny, a horror movie should be scary, etc.;
Judge the movie against those standards, not against any pre-existing opinions you may have.
It will make the review more valuable to the reader and honest writing is always best, isn't it?
Good luck getting your movie critic career started and enjoy the show!

The first step in writing the review is to watch the movie.
Watch the movie in a relaxed environment you are familiar with.
You do not want to be distracted by an unfamiliar room.
Watching the movie a second time will help you absorb a lot more detail about the movie.
Most movie reviewers take notes as they watch the movie review.
Most movie reviewers will give their opinion of the movie.
This is important as the reviewer can express the elements of the movie they enjoyed or disliked.
However, as in all good journalism, the reviewer should also give impartial details,
and allow the reader to make their own mind over an issue the reader liked or disliked.
Opinions should be explained to allow the reader to determine whether they would agree with your opinion .
Many regular movie reviewers will develop a following.
If one can find a reviewer who shares a similar taste in films, one can confidently follow the reviewers recommendations.
You need to consider who your likely readers are.
Writing a movie review for children requires a different approach than if writing for a movie club.
Ensure you report on the factors that matter to your likely audience.
Give the outline of the movie, but don't give away essential details such as the end or any surprises.
If there is a big surprise you want to entice readers by telling them something special happens, just don't say what.
If the movie contains actors, as most do, detail who is starring in the movie and how well you think they acted.
Did the movie follow a regular predictable story line, or did it get you thinking like a Quentin Tarantino movie?
Give details about how well the movie was shot and directed. Was the lighting good in the moody scenes?
Did the movie have its own score like Koyaanisqatsi or ET, or did it feature songs from popular artists?
