Presenatation, effort, creativity, originality, and attention to detail.
Understanding of the conventions of a film review.
Use of language including interest, style, vocabularly, spelling, punctuation and sentence structure.
NB: The entire tone of the review should be influenced by the reviewers evaluation of the film. The reader should get a fairly clear idea of the reviewers opinion

after they have read the review’s opening sentence. However, this does NOT mean hat you should start a review with statements like “This was a good movie”, or “you

should go see this film right now!” But it does mean that the reader should have a general idea about where the reviewer stands on the film from the first paragraph.
