Reviews How to write?  
Introduction
The aims of these tasks are to help you to write a short movie review. In the first task, different types of movie are examined; that is different movie genres. Next, different examples of movie reviews in three concise paragraphs are looked at, with opportunities to practise at each stage of the writing.

The tasks use specially written reviews of recent movies which will help you to expand your vocabulary and recognize the form of a standard movie review. These tasks should be seen as the first steps you take before writing your own movie review.
