The Art of Reviewing Movies

Reviewing movies is an Art.

Like any other Art, it’s unique.

No two person review movies in the same way. That brings us to focus the different ways to review movies.

We’ll go ahead and see the ways we can reviews movies. Since rating a movie is a way of review, I’m presenting both review and ratings now.

Meetu who blogs without giving the movie away (found via Desicritics) reviews movies and sums up in an interesting way.

See her Jab We Met review:

Rating: Wait for video release

Rating Scale (best to worst):

• Watch for sure, preferably in theatre
• Wait for video release
• Watch if you have nothing better to do
• Switch channels if it’s on cable!

Isn’t that interesting?
