My interpretation of the 12 basic rules of writing a movie review are...
1. Capture the readers attention
2. Provide a brief overview of the movie
3. Name stars of the film
4. Talk about the main characters a bit
5. Provide and explain your opinion on the movie
6. Must mention opening date
7. Name the director
8. Name where the movie takes places
9. Don't give away the ending
10. Don't give away anything that will spoil the movie
11. Talk about some twists in the story
12. Explain why you should or should not see this movie
Here's an example of my own movie review on one of my personal favorite movies..
The Faculty (1998)
written by Kevin Williamson and directed by Robert Rodriguez
It starts out as an average day at Herrington High School, but soon turns into a struggle to survive an alien invasion of their small town. First the students start to notice the faculty of their school acting strange, and soon whole town is taken over by alien parasites. It's up to a small group of students Zeke(Josh Hartnett), Casey(Elijah Wood), Stokely(Clea Duvall), Stan(Shawn Hatosy), Delilah(Jordana Brewster) and Marybeth(Laura Harris), to try and find the queen alien and save their town, but they're only way of distinguishing the aliens from their fellow peers is by snorting a cocaine-like drug that one of the students, Zeke has created, which they've found out dries out and kills the alien parasites inside humans. The students slowly get picked off one by one, becoming more and more paranoid they resort to killing their principal who they believe to be the queen, their guess was half right, she was infected but not the queen. It ends with one of the main characters being the hero and one turning out to be the alien queen.
I enjoyed this movie a lot, it has a good story line and if you're a first time viewer it has a good surprise ending. I would recommend this movie for anyone who likes sci-fi/horror movies, or just anyone who just enjoys watching Josh Hartnett and Elijah Wood team up against aliens.
