Advantages: Detailed opinions
Disadvantages: No or little opinoon
The film section on Dooyoo has thousands of items for members to write about, and there are even more reviews that have already been written. I am a keen film buff, and I usually read reviews on films here, so are brilliant, and some not so.
In my opinion, a film review has to have a lot of content, as there are a lot of aspects that need to be reviewed. Mainly, there must be a detailed outline of the plot, with opinions how how is was entertaining, and where the flaws were. In addition to this, we must be told who starred in this film, along with the part that they have in the film. Normally I like to see an opinion relating to how good these actors were in the film, and whether or not they were why the film was good or bad.
Furthermore, special effects are a huge part of films these days, and a film review cannot be written without commenting on this. Even if it is just mentioning whether or not they were good or bad, and naming a scene where they were used would be good enough.
In all, I think that a movie review is one of the best things that you can review on Dooyoo. If you dont like a review, then we need to know why, and if you did, we all want to know what were the best bits, otherwise their is no point, and the ratings wont be that good.
Summary: It needs opinion

- 27/02/09 I agree, it doesn't have to be long to be a good review, surely. But I do agree with what you say about opinions on both the story and the actors in their roles. |

- 27/02/09 Oh, but it's all so subjective, isn't it? Detailed plot outlines can go too far - I'd much rather have a brief summary, and more opinion! |

- 27/02/09 Some good points here. I think it is also important to add in the music since some films have great music that gives a good back drop to the plot or the part in stories.
But then again these things are often missed by members who write film reviews and sometimes doesn't need to be mentioned. Another aspect is how believable the plot is which some members fail to put their own thoughts about. |
