I love to talk about movies and give my opinions about them. 
And one way of expressing that is writing a "Movie Review" that anyone can read.

Sometimes you are asked to review a movie for a project in school.
Or if you like writing movie reviews here's a step by step guide how to do it.

1st PART
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

1. Watch a movie, any movie.

2. Pay attention to the movie's plot (the storyline of the movie, and how it unfolds).

3. Pay attention to the acting of the actors.

4. Pay attention to the movie's cinematography (the camera work).

5. Pay attention to the movie's music.

6. Pay attention to how the movie ended and think about what you are feeling right when it does.


2nd PART
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

7. Now, on a sheet of paper, write down each category listed above.

8. Write down what you thought of the plot.
Did it make sense? Was it well thought out? Was it executed well? Were there many holes in it?(Things that just seem like they didnt need to be there as they made no sense in the whole scheme of things).

9. Write down what you thought of the acting.
Was there chemistry between the actors? Did their voices match the part they were playing? Did their manner of speaking match the scene they were acting out? Was it cheesy to watch?

10. Write down what you thought of the cinematography.
Did watching the movie make you sick? Did it appear like it was somebody's home video? Or were you waiting for each new scene with anticipation, hoping it will be as good as the last?

11. Write down what you thought of the music.
Did it fit the theme?, Were there lyrics, and if so were they sung well, or were they irritating? How was the music overall?

12. Write down what you thought about how the movie ended.
How did it make you feel when it ended? Did you want more, or were you glad to be done with it? Did the ending flow well with what happened during the rest of the movie? Did the ending seem rushed, or well thought out and planned?

13. Now based upon all of your answers give the movie a grade or rating from A to F (or any other rating system you prefer) to tell everyone what you thought of it overall.
