Mistakes to avoid while writing a movie review
- Losing focus on the movie. It’s a good idea to mention the history of creating the film or touch on the historical background of the documentary film. But try to add only a bit of related information. Ensure you have included only the necessary details, and stay tuned for the review of the movie itself.
- Talking too much about yourself. While the review is more about presenting a personal point of view, you are still writing an academic paper which means you must avoid “I” statements and write in the third person.
- Forgetting to add factual information about the film. It’s crucial to add a summary and general information about the movie.
- Stating your point of view without factual support. Always accompany your thoughts with short descriptions of movie episodes.
- Writing general phrases like “the actors’ play was awful” or “the end of the movie was predictable.” Think of using more specific terms that you can find in this article or use your imagination.
- Creating a text without any analytical component. A good movie review is only possible by critically evaluating the plot, actors’ play, and creative elements.
