One of the best ways to learn how to write effective
film reviews is to read professional reviews. Check out reviews in
Time, Newsweek, Entertainment Weekly and other
magazines. Check out and read the reviews on the websites listed below
and find reviewers that you can appreciate.
Whether you like Ebert
or not is irrelevant; he writes very well and has been awarded the
Pulitzer Prize. Once you really understand how the professional reviewer
thinks and you begin to write literate reviews based on your reactions,
you will begin to receive above average (thumbs up) grades for your
work.
Enjoy the journey.
