 REVIEW
PAPER
One of the most common types of
papers that you will be writing
is a review or a critique. Hence,
you are expected to be objective
and honest in order to come up
with a critical evaluation of a
work of art, place, industrial
design, or any item you are
asked to examine.
You are not going to simply give
your opinion. You must support
your views with substantial facts
and arguments in order to convince
your readers of your work’s
credibility and validity. You must
also provide the right description of
the work being evaluated to ensure
its accuracy.
 Wyson (2016)

a text that “allows one to pass judgment on a certain food,

film, restaurant, product, or almost anything that can be
procured so that the readers of the work would be able to
make more informed decisions as consumers.” Today,
reviews no longer simply come in the form of a written text.
A lot of reviews are already uploaded by video

 Raising Contrary Views in
An Appropriate Manner

When writing a review, you must present both sides – positive and
negative. Since a review may tend to become subjective – as
others may have different opinions towards the same subject of
review – you have to anticipate possible objections against your
points or comments. You need to address these possible
objections in an appropriate manner to give the reader an
impression that you are impartial, balanced, and bias-free.
 Raising Contrary Views In An
Appropriate Manner
Here are some points you need to
consider based on the article
Incorporating Objections and
Opposing Views
• Remember that no one is
ever completely wrong.
• Avoid distorting the
opposing views
• Understand the point of
view.
• Prove Your Point
Example
The confessional denouement(1) may feel a
little contrived(2) and its revelations may
feel a little uncomfortable, but seeing events
unfold from another perspective gives Lea
and Tonyo's love story the bubbly thrill of
serendipity(3) and a surreal(4) taste of rich
bittersweet (Hawson 2017).
(1) denouement: the final part of a play,
movie, or narrative
(2) contrived: deliberately created rather
than rising naturally
(3) serendipity: the occurrence and
development of events by chance in a happy
or beneficial way
(4) surreal: not seeming real; like a dream
 WRITING CRITERIA
Criterion (plural, criteria) is an accepted standard used in making decision or
judgment about something (Encarta Dictionaries). In preparing to write a movie
review, it is important to have a set of evaluation criteria. Having this would allow
you to have a clear focus on the aspects of the movie you wish to evaluate.

For a review to be credible, the writer should be able to come up with criteria. By
doing so, you will be able to present your claims in a more objective manner.
Hence, your general impression should be based on accurate observations.

The set of criteria should be supported by question/s that allow the reviewer to
make a clear and objective evaluation of the different aspects of the movie.
 WRITING CRITERIA
Examples:
Plot. Is the sequence of events logical and entertaining? Are
there twists and turns in the story? What story techniques
were used in the film?

Acting. Were the actors and actresses in character? Is their

acting compelling? Do they project their voices well?
You can notice that the questions can be answered with a
judgment on the aspects of plot and acting instead of merely
