Movie Genres Writing a Movie Review : Paragraph 1 Writing a Movie Review : Paragraph 2 Writing a Movie Review : Paragraph 3

The third and final paragraph of a movie review usually has your overall opinion of the movie. Some parts may get a favourable review - perhaps the acting - while other parts will be criticised - perhaps the plot. The summary should then end with a clear recommendation - to see or not see the movie.

Task8
Look at this example from the review of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The budgetary limitations of this sci-fi epic are glaringly obvious, with sometimes the movie appearing like a bad TV show. A running joke involves the spaceship's Infinite Improbability Drive's effects - in one confused sequence the entire cast are turned into wool people - basically the cast covered with cotton wool! However, as Vogons read agonising poetry and white mice try to solve the mystery of life, the universe and everything, it's hard to see how this could have been better. Go and see this movie for an entertaining evening!

What does the reviewer think the positive and negative parts are to this movie? Does the reviewer recommend the movie?
