Well...
Hmm...
I don't know how to describe it.

<url=http://www.moviefilmreview.com/ht>Here's a guide I started off using, although I no longer even come close to following it.

Basically, just write what you liked, and what you didn't, and explain it.

And read other people's reviews in order to get an idea of what to do, if you want.

Start with an introduction explaining what your going to cover and then get into what you thought of the film. Start off by writing a brief plot summary then continue to different aspects. Remember to use lots of specific adjectives like: "Glimmering" and "Heart Pounding". And always finish with a conclusion which should summarize your review.

no offense, but if you cant do this somewhat easily, your review may not be particularly helpful. but, good luck anyways. the only tip i can give (which is not a good tip because i am not fit to review movies either) is to talk about how the direction tells the story, ie does it convolute the narrative, or does it engage the viewer in the plot.
