Whether a movie is a rotten tomato or a brilliant work of art, if people are watching it, it's worth critiquing. A decent movie review should entertain, persuade and inform, providing an original opinion without giving away too much of the plot. A great movie review can be a work of art in its own right. Read on to learn how to analyze a movie like a professional film critic, come up with an interesting thesis, and write a review as entertaining as your source material.
Sample Movie Reviews
Writing an Intro for a Movie Review
- Comparison to Relevant Event or Movie: "Every day, our leaders, politicians, and pundits call for "revenge"– against terrorist groups, against international rivals, against other political parties. But few of them understand the cold, destructive, and ultimately hollow thrill of revenge as well as the characters of Blue Ruin. "
- Review in a nutshell: "Despite a compelling lead performance by Tom Hanks and a great soundtrack, Forrest Gump never gets out of the shadow of its weak plot and questionable premise."
- Context or Background Information: " Boyhood might be the first movie made where knowing how it was produced–slowly, over 12 years, with the same actors–is just as crucial as the movie itself."
- Using stars, a score out of 10 or 100, or the simple thumbs-up and thumbs-down is a quick way to give your thoughts. You then write about why you chose that rating.
- Great Movie: ABC is the rare movie that succeeds on almost every level, where each character, scene, costume, and joke firing on all cylinders to make a film worth repeated viewings."
- Bad Movie: "It doesn't matter how much you enjoy kung-fu and karate films: with 47 Ronin, you're better off saving your money, your popcorn, and time."
- Okay Movie: "I loved the wildly uneven Interstellar far more than I should have, but that doesn't mean it is perfect. Ultimately, the utter awe and spectacle of space swept me through the admittedly heavy-handed plotting and dialogue."
- Great: "Michael B. Jordan and Octavia Spencer's chemistry would carry Fruitvale Station even if the script wasn't as good. The mid-movie prison scene in particular, where the camera never leaves their faces, shows how much they can convey with nothing but their eyelids, the flashing tension of neck muscles, and a barely cracking voice."
- Bad: " Jurassic World's biggest flaw, a complete lack of relatable female characters, is only further underscored by a laughably unrealistic shot of our heroine running away from a dinosaur – in heels."
- Okay: "At the end of the day, Snowpiercer can't decide what kind of movie it wants to be. The attention to detail in fight scenes, where every weapon, lightbulb, and slick patch of ground is accounted for, doesn't translate to an ending that seems powerful but ultimately says little of substance."
- Does the film reflect on a current event or contemporary issue? It could be the director's way of engaging in a bigger conversation. Look for ways to relate the content of the film to the "real" world.
- Does the film seem to have a message, or does it attempt to elicit a specific response or emotion from the audience? You could discuss whether or not it achieves its own goals.
- Does the film connect with you on a personal level? You could write a review stemming from your own feelings and weave in some personal stories to make it interesting for your readers.
Composing Your Review
- When you name characters in your plot summary, list the actors' names directly afterward in parenthesis.
- Find a place to mention the director's name and the full movie title.
- If you feel you must discuss information that might "spoil" things for readers, warn them first.
- Cinematography: " Her is a world drenched in color, using bright, soft reds and oranges alongside calming whites and grays that both build, and slowly strip away, the feelings of love between the protagonists. Every frame feels like a painting worth sitting in."
- Tone: "Despite the insane loneliness and high stakes of being stuck alone on Mars, The Martian's witty script keeps humor and excitement alive in every scene. Space may be dangerous and scary, but the joy of scientific discovery is intoxicating."
- Music and Sound: " No Country For Old Men's bold decision to skip music entirely pays off in spades. The eerie silence of the desert, punctuated by the brief spells of violent, up-close-and-personal sound effects of hunter and hunted, keeps you constantly on the edge of your seat."
- Acting: "While he's fantastic whenever he's on the move, using his cool stoicism to counteract the rampaging bus, Keanu Reeves can't quite match his costar in the quiet moments of Speed, which falter under his expressionless gaze."
- Keep your writing clear and easy to understand. Don't use too much technical filmmaking jargon, and make your language crisp and accessible.
- Present both the facts and your opinion. For example, you might state something such as, "The Baroque background music was a jarring contrast to the 20th century setting." This is a lot more informative then simply saying, "The music was a strange choice for the movie."
- Great: "In the end, even the characters of Blue Ruin know how pointless their feud is. But revenge, much like every taut minute of this thriller, is far too addictive to give up until the bitter end.""
- Bad: "Much like the oft-mentioned "box of chocolates", Forest Gump has a couple of good little morsels. But most of the scenes, too sweet by half, should have been in the trash long before this movie was put out."
- Okay: "Without the novel, even revolutionary concept, Boyhood may not be a great movie. It might not even be "good.” But the power the film finds in the beauty of passing time and little, inconsequential moments – moments that could only be captured over 12 years of shooting – make Linklater's latest an essential film for anyone interested in the art of film."
Polishing Your Piece
- Ask yourself whether your review stayed true to your thesis. Did your conclusion tie back in with the initial ideas you proposed?
- Decide whether your review contains enough details about the movie. You may need to go back and add more description here and there to give readers a better sense of what the movie's about.
- Decide whether your review is interesting enough as a stand-alone piece of writing. Did you contribute something original to this discussion? What will readers gain from reading your review that they couldn't from simply watching the movie?
Studying Your Source Material
- The title of the film, and the year it came out.
- The director's name.
- The names of the lead actors.
- Make a note every time something sticks out to you, whether it's good or bad. This could be costuming, makeup, set design, music, etc. Think about how this detail relates to the rest of the movie and what it means in the context of your review.
- Take note of patterns you begin to notice as the movie unfolds.
- Use the pause button frequently so you make sure not to miss anything, and rewind as necessary.
- Direction: Consider the director and how he or she choose to portray/explain the events in the story. If the movie was slow, or didn't include things you thought were necessary, you can attribute this to the director. If you've seen other movies directed by the same person, compare them and determine which you like the most.
- Cinematography: What techniques were used to film the movie? What setting and background elements helped to create a certain tone?
- Writing: Evaluate the script, including dialogue and characterization. Did you feel like the plot was inventive and unpredictable or boring and weak? Did the characters' words seem credible to you?
- Editing: Was the movie choppy or did it flow smoothly from scene to scene? Did they incorporate a montage to help build the story? And was this obstructive to the narrative or did it help it? Did they use long cuts to help accentuate an actor's acting ability or many reaction shots to show a group's reaction to an event or dialogue? If visual effects were used were the plates well-chosen and were the composited effects part of a seamless experience? (Whether the effects looked realistic or not is not the jurisdiction of an editor, however, they do choose the footage to be sent off to the compositors, so this could still affect the film.)
- Costume design: Did the clothing choices fit the style of the movie? Did they contribute to the overall tone, rather than digressing from it?
- Set design: Consider how the setting of the film influenced its other elements. Did it add or subtract from the experience for you? If the movie was filmed in a real place, was this location well-chosen?
- Score or soundtrack: Did it work with the scenes? Was it over/under-used? Was it suspenseful? Amusing? Irritating? A soundtrack can make or break a movie, especially if the songs have a particular message or meaning to them.
Community Q&A
- If you don't like the movie, don't be abusive and mean. If possible, avoid watching the movies that you would surely hate. ⧼thumbs_response⧽ Helpful 0 Not Helpful 1
- Understand that just because the movie isn't to your taste, that doesn't mean you should give it a bad review. A good reviewer helps people find movie's they will like. Since you don't have the same taste in movies as everyone else, you need to be able to tell people if they will enjoy the movie, even if you didn't. ⧼thumbs_response⧽ Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
- Structure is very important; try categorizing the different parts of the film and commenting on each of those individually. Deciding how good each thing is will help you come to a more accurate conclusion. For example, things like acting, special effects, cinematography, think about how good each of those are. ⧼thumbs_response⧽ Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

Quick Guide on How to Write a Movie Review Essay
All You Need to Know about How to Write a Movie Review
The internet has completely opened up the field of film criticism. A movie is worth analyzing regardless of how great or poorly it was directed. Every day, more and more individuals attempt to write about movies, yet most fail miserably. Some people don't go further than just informing the reader or viewer how much they liked or disliked the film.
Most movie reviews are written to assist the reader in deciding whether watching a movie is worthwhile. Without giving away any fundamentals, such as the narrative or any revelations, the review should include sufficient information about the film so that the audience can confidently select it. You must be eager to immerse yourself fully in the movies you watch. Though it may take more effort than it looks at first, it won't seem like labor if you are enthusiastic about movies.
Let's delve into the article as our college paper writing service put together some recommendations on how to write a movie review essay like a true critic.
What Is a Movie Review
Understanding the definition and goal of a movie review is essential to producing an excellent one. A professional movie review often falls under journalism and literary criticism. It is a detailed analysis of recently released movies, often done by a professional critic, to assist viewers in making movie selections. While writing, have the following objectives in mind:
- Briefly discuss the movie's storyline. Provide some background on the people, relationships, and events, but just describe a portion of the plot. Reading the criticism should be distinct from seeing the movie. But, you are allowed to highlight the most significant scenes or defining moments that elevate the movie.
- Get familiar with the movie facts. If you evaluate a movie, you should know more than just what you observe on the screen. These facts will add information to your analysis that your readers will find valuable.
- Explain how you felt while viewing the film and mention things you liked and disliked afterward. Provide your overall assessment of the movie using examples, descriptions, and analogies so that people may draw their own conclusions.
- Make a suggestion. Instead of being categorical, describe what the movie will be like and who could find it fascinating to your readers. Indicate whether it fits the official description of the movie, the genre it belongs to, why it could be interesting to see, and any flaws.
Movie Review Purpose
The key to writing an outstanding movie review is understanding its purpose. So, keep your goals in mind while writing:
- Discuss the film plot briefly. Share some information about characters, relations, and events, but only tell part of the story. Reading the review should be different from watching the film. Yet, you are free to mention the most important moments or turning points that make the film worth watching.
- Analyze the film in general and in certain aspects, such as the acting, the work of the director, the theme, the music, and special effects. Conclude if the main idea of the film was duly implemented. Try to be objective and detailed in your evaluations.
- Share your opinion. Describe your feelings during and after watching the movie and specify what you liked and what you didn't like. Provide your general impression of the film based on examples, descriptions, and comparisons to enable readers to make their own decisions.
- Give a recommendation. Try not to be categorical, but let your readers know what they can expect from the film and who might find it interesting. Say if it matches an official film description and declared genre, why it might be worth watching, and what its weaknesses are.
- Entertain the reader. Reading movie reviews is fun in itself. We've, as a society, getting used to using this option before choosing a film to watch. Try to do an easy-to-read review, and write interestingly.

Writing a movie review may be easier than it first appears. This type of academic assignment is one of many complicated ones by far. However, it still has its own peculiarities – if you can get these right, you will succeed.
To get started with your paper, you need to know and understand the main characteristics of a good movie review:

Movie Review Outline
Organizing your essay will affect how well your paper turns out. No matter what kind of piece you need to write, you should never undervalue the significance of a well-structured outline. Therefore, your movie review outline will help to maintain perspective and a thorough evaluation.
How Do You Start a Movie Review Essay: Introduction
The introductory paragraph is the first obvious step in crafting a movie review essay outline. Here, you want to quickly captivate the reader. Offer your viewpoint right away and make it very clear. Don't leave the audience wondering whether you enjoyed the film. Tell them right off the bat, so you have time to justify your assessment throughout the remainder of the process.
In the introduction movie review should also describe your thesis. Develop the main concept for your essay that you can support using your perceptions of the movie's various aspects. The reader should be able to tell from this statement if you thought the film was fantastic, awful, or simply alright. By including a thesis statement, you may move your analysis beyond the plot synopsis phase into the movie critique category, which is considered a separate creative process.
Crafting Your Essay Movie Review Analysis
Our research paper service says film analysis is like putting together a case. You're attempting to influence the reader to follow your recommendation to watch or disregard the film. So, you must ensure your essay movie review will be convincing. Giving instances that demonstrate the validity of your personal opinion is the only method to do this. Use quotations if you believe any dialogue in the movie best illustrates whether the work is strong or weak. This also applies to the rest of the movie's artistic decisions. But, just because a movie's narrative isn't strong or engaging doesn't indicate the rest of the film is worthless. Carefully highlight how some factors might undermine the movie in your explanation.
The movie's plot is only one component and shouldn't dominate the overall piece. The following are the important aspects to include in your movie review structure:
Cinematography - Cinematography covers much more than simply camera angles. It includes how the picture is lit, how it moves, appears, and what lenses are used. Here you can try the following analysis: 'Warm, gentle colors are used throughout the film, combined with soothing whites and grays, to simultaneously create and gradually tear away the characters' romantic sentiments for one another. There is a painting-like quality to each image.'
Editing - The editing is arguably the absolute star of what creates a good movie review example. It affects both the duration and the flow of a movie. Without effective editing, there would be uncomfortable gaps between pictures and many errors.
Costuming - The clothing the characters wear is called a costume, but there are a number of things to consider while evaluating movie costumes. You should be able to judge whether the outfits fit the characters and the movie's tone.
Casting and Acting - Finding the ideal performers to bring characters to life is the goal of casting. This sometimes entails seeing performers portray both familiar personas and figures who are entirely at odds with who they are. Casting, therefore, involves more than just finding talented performers. You can assess the acting in the following way: 'Even though he excels while on the go, his stoic behaviorism causes him to fall short of his co-star during calm scenes where he keeps a blank look on his face.'
After writing several paragraphs analyzing the acting, directing, cinematography, setting, etc., use concise, engaging wording to hold readers' attention. Don't forget to provide detailed examples to support your statements about the film.
Concluding Your Essay Movie Review
Finalize your review by coming full circle. Close the review by returning to your introductory fact or thesis. Give your readers a refresher on the movie's most intriguing aspects. It's important to remember that before choosing a movie, viewers check reviews. Finish with a statement indicating whether it is worthwhile for them to view. Be specific about who this movie will be more fascinating to and why in your suggestions. Remember that your ending is your last shot to influence your audience, so use it wisely.

Example Papers
Once you know how to review a movie and learn the most valuable tips to handle this assignment, it is time to look at some movie review examples to get you on the right track.
Check out the following pieces to see which of these movie review essay examples you might want to keep at hand when working on your own assignment:
The film, Norma Rae (1979), presents the story of a woman during an American labor movement where labor was depicted to be too intricate and prosperous to care for the underprivileged. The labor movement portrayed in the movie is perceived to be extremely powerful, powerful to the extent that its interests are always met. The movie is set in the present day (1979) rural south with the protagonist Norma Rae, a Southern mill worker with two children. The film provides a significant evaluation of the radicalism that was portrayed in the post-1960s by southern managers and how they learned to oppress the unprivileged when they were able to resist their legal rights.
The movie, Hidden Figures (2016), not only serves as an item of good entertainment, but is also admirable in depicting the scientific changes in the USA in the 1960s, the social life issues of that era, and differences that existed in the country, especially among African-Americans. The movie centers around the lives of three women: Katherine Johnson, who is recreated by movie star Taraji P. Henson; Mary Jackson, who is played by Janelle Monáe; and finally, Dorothy Vaughan, as the mathematician portrayed by Octavia Spencer. Essentially, all three women of African-American backgrounds, they play vital roles in society through their contributions while working at NASA towards the successful launch of a spaceship into orbit.
Mistakes to Avoid
Here are some common mistakes among students that we recommend you avoid.
- Retelling the film plot in detail. As we mentioned above, the idea of a movie review is not to put the film on paper—nobody likes spoilers. Share the general plot to make your reader curious about seeing the movie to get their personal opinion.
- Giving too public opinion of the film. Remember that things are rarely unequivocal. Even if you don't like the content and quality of the film, don't forget to mention if the music was pretty good or if one of the actors managed to portray a believable character.
- Lack of evidence. Presenting your opinion without explaining why you think that way won't be considered reliable. The unfounded statement isn't a good resource for a decision, even if we are talking about a choice of which movie to watch.
- Lack of film research. Don't force your readers to conduct their own research or to look for another review to find out the background information of a movie.
- Absence of structure. If your work is not structured properly, it won't be easy to follow your thoughts and understand your points. Reviews should be helpful to readers, and a good structure helps get your message across correctly.
- No conclusions and recommendations. As mentioned above, providing recommendations regarding the film is one of the main purposes of writing a movie review. Do not deprive readers of your findings and thoughts. By advising a good movie to watch, you may make someone's evening.
FAQs on Writing an Essay Movie Review
Here are the most frequently asked questions on how to write a movie review. We provided extra details on movie analysis to simplify writing film reviews.
What are the 6 Important Things to Include in a Film Review?
The following six elements should be present in any film review:
- A plot summary - Here, you should provide the movie's title, its release date, the key members of the cast, the filmmaker or producer, and its subject matter.
- Your original impression - Here, you should discuss your initial impressions before seeing the movie and contrast them with how you felt afterward.
- Commentary on the acting - As was previously said, you can evaluate the actors' onscreen performance in the specific movie here. You can also talk about how it stacks up against the movies the actors have appeared in.
- Analysis of technical elements - You can describe camera methods, lighting, color, editing, sound, and audio, among other things.
- An evaluation of the film's overall success -Here, you should evaluate if the movie accomplished its goals, whether the messages it was intended to convey were clearly understood, or whether they were lost in translation.
- Your final recommendation - This summarizes both the critic's last observation and the film's overall message or what we may learn from it. Lastly, you should explain to the reader whether or not they should see the film and what scenes they might or might not like.
How Long Should a Movie Review Be?
Although film reviews are typically between 600 and 1200 words, there is no specific format to follow. Yet, usually, a movie review format includes the following:
- Introduction
- Plot Summary
- Description
- Conclusion/Evaluation
Before starting your movie review writing, do a lot of research. You might want to spend some time familiarizing yourself with the director's, writer's, or actor's body of work before watching the movie, which will take you longer than creating the narrative.
What are the 5 C's in Film?
One may argue that the five C's of cinematography, as described by Joseph V. Mascelli, are fundamental ideas necessary to create a movie. To guarantee the finest possible quality, every idea must be carefully taken into account when creating, filming, and editing a movie.
- Camera Angles - A scene may be set up for viewers to follow by strategically placing the camera and using visual clues to show how actors relate to one another, their surroundings, and the actions on the screen.
- Continuity - A realistic visual experience is made possible by fluid internal logic. On the other hand, viewers will struggle to follow the plot if scenes are inconsistent graphically. Moreover, continuity errors can destroy a scene's emotional resonance.
- Cutting - Sensible trimming may advance the story when it is meticulously planned, with insight and forethought. It is important to connect each shot in a scene and the scenes themselves so that their overall impact, rather than just their separate elements, elicits the intended emotions from the spectator.
- Close-ups - The addition of close-ups may significantly alter a scenario. Viewers can be encouraged to feel intense feelings together with the characters on screen, even without language.
- Composition - Lighting, color, space, mood, and tone are some of the components that make up a cinematic scene. This is particularly intriguing because the composition may draw attention to a movie's topic and represent the cinematography style of both the filmmaker and the cinematographer.
