movie reviews

Most people love to talk about movies they've seen, even if it's to just give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. That makes movie reviews a popular tag.

Movie reviews refers to analysis of or commentary on particular movies. 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 movie reviews depends on knowledge of film as a whole or the subject matter of a particular movie.

• The Lovely Bones International Trailer: Sadly, No New Footage

  
  /Film — Authority: 783
  I keep looking for something that will sell me on The Lovely Bones . Once upon a time, Peter Jackson ’s name would have been enough. It’s not that King Kong changed that, but between the problems with Kong and the fact that the story in this new film doesn’t grab me (based on what I know about it) I’m in ...

  /Film — Authority: 783
  One of the many things that sets Pixar apart from other animation studios (less so Disney these days, you might imagine) is their dedication to nurture and cultivation. This applies both to the talent, the animators and directors, but also to their projects. As such, many of their films begin with a pitch that’s ...

  NonSoccerMom.com — Authority: 113
  I switched back to my old green site theme.  The other one hadn’t been exactly what I wanted to begin with, and it had a couple of formatting and navigational issues that I just couldn’t cope with.  Plus it was a little too teeny-bopper angsty.  So, back to the old faithful green, which I have to admit I ...

  MovieWorldBlog — Authority: 141
  It’s common knowledge that most people feel they have great stories that would be great if only turned into a movie. The sad fact is that lots of people don’t realize that just like the music, or fashion industry, the movie business is a business, and looks for saleable, surefire hits, not misses. However, there ...

  We don’t have a review of Fantastic Mr. Fox this weekend (I haven’t even seen it yet, being in Atlanta rather than on the coast) but this is a nice alternative. There was that whole uproar over the fact that Wes Anderson directed some of the film via email , but he also used a lot of video direction. And, ...

• Mote? Meet Giant Beam of Delusion

  
  The Sundries Shack — Authority: 534
  One of the things I despise when reading movie or music reviews is the unwanted and ill-informed insertion of a political opinion into a piece that ought not to be even a little bit political. That sort of intrusion is a lot like finding a cockroach baked into a delicious brownie that you’ve already half-eaten, [...]

• ‘2012′: THE END OF THE WORLD, SEEN FROM THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT

  
  Hollywood Outbreak — Authority: 578
  Let’s get this straight from the very beginning: You don’t go to a Roland Emmerich thriller looking for great characters, dialogue, or plot, because all of those are filled with holes.  You go for what he fills those holes with: amazing action and special effects sequences.  And the formula holds true in his ...

• 2012

  
  WeUseCoupons.com — Authority: 509
  2012 is another disaster movie from the makers of "Independence Day". As with other disaster films, you need to be able to cast aside a certain level of facts and intelligence until the film is over. With this one, that level is your entire brain. The film wants you to just sit there and enjoy the special effects. ...

  OneRayHill — Authority: 113
  I know I said in the review for The Box that I love films that make you think. I must add that there is a place for the blockbuster. With its extensive use of CGI, 2012 is very much a spectacular, if overly long, ride. Based on the theory that the Mayan calendar will end on December 21, 2012, thus heralding the end ...

• Dark Reel Review

  
  Scary Films — Authority: 119
  I admit, the only reason I even sat down to watch this film was because Edward Furlong was in it. He was in a lot of movies that I personally liked, and as soon as I saw his name on the back cover, I was sold. The movie however, despite being filled in 2008, is not exactly the most gripping of horror movies, and ...

  Alliance of Women Film Journalists — Authority: 119
  In “2012,” there’s got to be a morning after, if for no other reason than formulaic disaster epics have to have some measure of hope at the end. And make no mistake: “2012″ is a formulaic disaster epic — to the 10th power. As in, with its characters dodging the non-stop dangers of massive earthquakes, ...
