movie review

Most people love to talk about movies they've seen, even if it's to just give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. That accounts for much of the popularity of the tag movie review.

A movie review is an analysis of or commentary on a particular movie. Some sites compile reviews from a variety of sources, others ask readers for reviews and other sites use individual reviews. The tag may have broad usage, encompassing not only movies currently in theaters but also ones that are released on DVD. It will also cover the full spectrum of movies, from dramas to comedies to documentaries.

While one might consider being a movie reviewer one of the greatest jobs around, the quality of a movie review depends on knowledge of film as a whole or the subject matter of the movie.

  William Quincy Belle — Authority: 100
  Im sure we have all at one time or another committed a faux pas, a momentary lapse of good judgement. However, Im also sure that said faux pas was committed in front of a small group of family or friends. An apology is delivered sincerely and immediately and we have quickly defused a potentially ugly situation. But ...

• Cannes Review: Andrew Dominik’s ‘Killing Them Softly’ Is An Artfully Crafted Take on the Gangster Genre

  
  — Authority:
  Andrew Dominik always had an ominous mountain to climb with his next feature, having polarized opinion with The Assassination Of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford , that most tonal and visually textured of revisionist Westerns, but with  Killing Them Softly he has certainly at least avoided the black hole ...

  — Authority:
  Chronicle (Release date May 15, 2012) – There’s a really short list of dystopian tales I like to recommend, and Chronicle is one of them. The film is a brilliant collaboration between director Josh Trank and Max Landis. I like that this film didn’t linger on the origins of where the source of power was found ...

• The Devil’s Playground Review

  
  — Authority:
  In 2010 I heard a British zombie film entitled The Devil’s Playground was in the works. Well when I hear zombie film that doesn’t always mean much these days. I hear about a lot of zombie films, many are never completed, many don’t live up to their potential, so that doesn’t always excite me. What DID excite ...

• Iron Sky (2011) – review

  
  — Authority:
  Iron Sky is an odd internet success story. Starting with a concept and a trailer which hit in 2008, the Finnish filmmakers have been acquiring financial backers and online fans for what seems like a very long time. Essentially made by a bunch of sci-fi nerds who are quite handy with CGI, on a budget of around ...

• Battleship: Delightfully Awful

  
  — Authority:
  Battleship is horrendous. The acting is awful, the plot is horrible and the level of unhindered pandering is ludicrous. There is no doubt in my mind though, that they put a truly sincere effort into making this film and it is that sincerity that makes this utter-failure delicious. I am not a big fan of [...]
