    Write down what you thought of the Plot. Did it make sense? Was it well thought out? Was it executed well? Were there many holes in it?(Things that just seem like they didnt need to be there as they made no sense in the whole scheme of things).

  9. Step 9

    Write down what you thought of the Music. Did it fit the theme?, Were there lyrics, and if so were they sung well, or were they irritating? How was the music overall?

  10. Step 10

    Write down what you thought of the Cinematography. Did watching the movie make you sick? Did it appear like it was somebodys home video? Or were you waiting for each new scene with anticipation, hoping it will be as good as the last?

  11. Step 11

    Write down what you thought of the Acting. Was there chemistry between the actors? Did their voices match the part they were playing? Did their manner of speaking match the scene they were acting out? Was it cheesy to watch?

  12. Step 12

    For the last part, write down what you thought about how the movie ended. How did it make you feel when it ended? Did you want more, or were you glad to be done with it? Did the ending flow well with what happened during the rest of the movie? Did the ending seem rushed, or well thought out and planned?

  13. Step 13

    Now based upon all of your answers give the movie a grade from A+ to F-, to tell everyone what you thought of it overall.
