I read a movie review review for The Bourne Legacy, which I saw this summer. It was student written review posted on Silver Chips Online. Sam Lewando, who wrote the post, started off by giving his opinion of the movie. He then goes on to describe the plot and talk about how it ties into the Bourne Trilogy. The review is mostly focused on whether the movie lives up to the other three, and the writer skims right over most of the dramatic aspects, except the music, which he dedicates a paragraph to. The review has serious aspects, but is mostly written in a fairly casual tone.
I think we should definitely be given at least some freedom while writing our movie reviews. We had to write multiple reviews last year, and I'm sure that everyone has the hang of it. Last year, our reviews had very specific guidelines that didn't give us a chance to demonstrate how we felt about the movie. Because of this, the review should not be so structured this year. We should be able to chose what aspects of the film we would like to focus on, although there should at least be a minimum or maximum length so people don't do too much or too little.
