How To Write Great Movie Reviews For Your Entertainment WebsiteWritten by Tamika Johnson
If you have an entertainment website 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 that. People always want to know what someone else thinks about movie they want to see and they will scour web to look for these opinions. Now you could syndicate another site’s reviews, but why do that? You want your readers to be loyal to you and your site and honestly, they want to hear what you have to say and what you think. If you’re thinking you haven’t foggiest idea on how to write fun, compelling movie reviews, then think again. I’m going to tell you all you need to know.1.Actively Watch Movie – Yes, I recognize that movie watching is a passive activity. Watching a movie isn’t something you do, it is something that happens to you. However, if you want to write good reviews you have to learn to look at movies with a critical eye. This means you need to pay attention to everything and I mean Everything. Notice how actors are placed in each shot, setting, camera angles, even music. All of these elements play a role in story that is trying to be told and are important to talk about if you want to write compelling sort of reviews that your readers will stop by your site each week to read. . 2.Take Copious Notes – No, I don’t expect you to sit in a theatre with pen and pad or laptop in hand. But I do expect you to take solid mental notes. Information such as actor’s names or who director was is easy to come across, but information like camera shots, or plot devices is not, so you need to train yourself not only to watch for that type of information but also to remember it. 3.Summarize. Don’t Spoil. – This is important. Nothing is worse then reading a review that tells whole movie from beginning to end and leaves nothing for you to see. People want your opinion, not for you to spoil movie. A basic summation of plot is all that is necessary. From there you can talk about whether or not plot worked well or was plot even a plot at all. Let details of film be revealed when your readers see film, not when they read your review.
