Writing a Film Review

Hello everyone,

This week I have asked you to write a film review. To start, let's look at a website I go to when I want to see what the critics say about films and TV shows. Rottentomatoes.com is the best for me because:




  1. It gives a rating from both the critics and the audience. Sometimes a film may not be critically good but the audience liked it. For example Batman VS Superman. What is your opinion?
  2. The "Critics Consensus" is a good summary review. How can you use this in your review?
  3. The "Movie Info" is clear and gives a brief description of what the film is about. How can you use this in your review?
Tips
  • Include a title
  • No spoilers!
  • Don't forget your audience: will your review give enough information to encourage/discourage your reader from watching the film?
  • A film is colourful, so don't forget to use colourful language- remember, it can be informal. 
Have fun!
