Good Review, Bad Review

Good Review: http://blogs.amctv.com/scifi-scanner/2009/09/9-review.php

Both of these reviews are on the new released movie "9" directed by Shane Acker. The bad review in my opinion seemed to by quite picky and tedious in his approach. He gives you a bit of info about the movie(story) and the characters but doesn't give a sense of appeal to wanting the viewer to see it for themselves. He doesn't help you imagine what the movie might be like. The bad review pretty much tells you it's bad and doesn't back it up, giving you a bit of a peak as to what the movie is about but lacks imagination. Seems this critic was poking this film with a stick to wait for it to be appealing to him so he could utter something pleasing about it. Maybe to close minded and wasn’t satisfying personally for him since it’s more of an opinion from him then the opinion of how bad visually or story like it is.The good review gives you a bit of info on the film and lets help you imagine what it looks like. She gives you details and comparisons to other great films that seem to be like this one. She tells you briefly about the characters but yet doesn’t spoil the movie. She keeps you wondering what might be the outcome of it all and regardless of the faults the movie might have, she is still welcoming you in to see it for yourself. Her words help you imagine what type of catastrophe this new world could look like even if you had never seen the trailer. She backs up her opinions by comparing the film with other films that are great in visual work so you can only imagine how this film will entwine the character with this rubble of a world.
