Reviewing movies was a task that I thought would be easy. All one basically has to do is watch a movie and then write your opinion about it. Wrong. In order to write a review you have to do much more research than just stating your opinion about the film. You have to have background on the topic of the movie, on the director's previous films and on the actors.
You also have to have an informed opinion on the reason why you disliked or liked the film that you are reviewing. That is what I found to be so difficult when reviewing "Slumdog Millionaire". I didn't like the film but I could not give specific examples as to why I disliked it so. The topic of the film just didn't excite me. I kept looking at my watch. However, I had to give specific scenes to support why I did not like it.
Consequently, I am not fond of movie reviewing. I rather just watch the movie please and thank you.
