Movie reviews

There are two types of arguments on reviewing movies. One that defends the freedom of expression of those who review films and the other that says reviews are done almost without any knowledge of the films being made. A review seems to be inconsiderate of the effort that is put in by hundreds to thousands of people in the movie industry. A single review on a film made through immense hard work may bring down the revenue generated by the movie.

On the other hand, a good review can create positive opinions amidst people and help generate more revenue for the producers. But it is entirely impossible to create market through reviews even if the film is bad. The audience will turn hostile towards the reviews if a bad film is termed as a good one. We cannot trick the audience into believing a film as a good film.

But the unfortunate thing is that the audience might prefer to stay away from films that are called poor by the same reviews. Even if the film is a good one, the audience will not spend time and money to watch a film that is called bad by the reviews. However, public opinion might override any review written. It is not always advisable to follow the reviews in rating a film.

A review is not one through which you will rate the subtle feelings on how the film is but it is easy to rate the films through the outright differences between a good and a bad film that a review can provide. You can also get to know the storylines of many films through reviews. Understanding the storylines or getting to know them will leave you with the knowledge of whether the film’s storyline is a recycled one or a fresh one.

Though many of the stories are recycled, the expression of the idea differs from director to director, writer to writer and screenwriter to screenwriter. It can be said that a film that is averagely entertaining may receive mixed reviews but only a good or a bad film or either one or both of them can receive unanimous reviews on the final outcome of themselves as films.

As we read reviews on products before making a purchase, you can take a look into the reviews of films before spending your valuable time and money watching the film. But if you want to be unsure of the plot of a movie, a review is not the best option because reviews can reveal too much of a film prematurely!
