Review Analysis: Awesome Edition

"Criticism may not always be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things." ~ Winston Churchill

Your host...Funbob! Critique is essential to grow as a person, so this cold and lonely night I will analyze others' work. I hope others do the same for both Buddah's and I techniques.

First to bat is Big Dogs At The Movies with their review for Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. The greatest aspect about their post, I felt, was the sincerity and honesty towards the film. They didn't like the movie so they explained exactly why. Although I must admit they lacked a recap of the film and a good introduction. One of their major flaws might of been the absence of entertainment. Buddah and I have short attention spans. We try to focus then see a glimpse of the lastest Pentel mechanical pencil and lose the train of thought. Therefore, as a writer, one must entertain your followers. It's like watching your local news (assuming the lack of a hot weather girl, if so then 50% of the population will surely be watching) rather than SNL. What kind of human does that?

Momo and Hatchi from Mask in Pham had a different approach. Their review of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog was entertaining and eye-catching. The introduction drew in the reader. Both writers were explained the film correctly and gave their opinion. In spite of those facts, there is always room for improvement. I think the background shows individualism but I would suggest using contrasting colors for the text. Don't use light pink text color on a white background; it hurts my eyes (although my glasses can't get any thicker). In addition, the authors could incorporate both their point-of-views in one passage instead of Momo writing then Hatchi. It would of been peachy if they would of elaborated a bit more during the movie overview.

Flick Daddys (extra points for the amazing name) are very consistent reviewers. First off, I like how they posted their favorite movies on the right corner of their blog. This is a great way for viewers to automatically A) know Del's and Mac's (extra extra points for the names) personality and B) know if the Flick Daddys review their genre. Mac's review on Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog was basic and straight forward. There were one or two spelling issues. The introduction might of been a bit confusing to a person that had not yet seen the movie, but overall it was a nice review. Moving on to Del's review, it was my favorite out of all the above. The movie review had great sentence fluency with just the right amount of humor. The reader could connect with the author throughout the passage. If your lost at anytime, take a peek at the Flick Daddys blog (evil laugh inserted here).

That's for putting up with me but I got Star Trek ship that needs assembling...
