If you spend your first viewing pausing, playing back, and re-watching segments at a time, you won’t get a sense for the way the film was meant to be enjoyed.
#WHERE TO WATCH THE STEP UP MOVIES MOVIE#
What works for me is to watch the movie in its entirety without distractions in order to get a grasp on what the director intended. Of course, there are those who prefer at least a couple viewings, but from my experience multiple viewings can actually skew your assessment. I believe you only need to a see a film once in order to critique a film. Without being affected by the trailers, marketing, and other reviews before watching a movie, you can really put your best foot forward to creating your authentic opinion and turning that into a movie review people can trust.Īvoid trailers and other reviews prior to watching as to not sway your perception. Of course, after the review is finished, I always welcome a discussion with fellow cinephiles to hear and understand what they enjoyed and didn’t. And when you’re in reviewer mode, you want to be as honest with your own opinion as possible, and not allow any outside voice to alter it. As for reviews, reading about what others think of the movie before watching or writing a review can affect your opinion heavily. Trailers work well to provide some context and tone prior to watching a movie, but they can also be filled with spoilers, which is why I do my best to avoid them when possible. But if you can avoid watching the trailers and reading about other peoples’ opinions prior to watching, you won’t have any preconceived judgments and can go in with an unbiased perspective. Avoiding exposure to the movie can be more difficult than it sounds when it’s a popular film-as trailers and marketing run rampant. If I’m not familiar with the cast and/or the director, I’ll do a little filmography research, but only about their past work if I’ve never seen it before.
Ideally, when I start on the path of reviewing a film, I will know very little about it-aside from the actors and the director involved. The hardest part of this first step is going to be avoiding doing too much research or reading other reviews prior to watching the movie (as tempting as it may be.) I find that it’s more liberating to the experience to go in with an air of unfamiliarity. Here are the steps I take from start to finish, when screening films. Rather, they need to be honest and encourage discussion. I’ve been analyzing movies critically for six years, and I’ve personally found that reviews don’t need to be complicated. There’s a lot of advice out there about writing film reviews from a critic’s perspective, each with varying degrees of advice.
