I think that many people - who claim to know how to write a review - confuse what a review is with a resume of a film. It has happened to me before that I have had to review, investigate and try to identify some "reviews" in the past that claimed to be so, but nothing far from the truth. It was practically people summarizing the movie throughout their posts and only leaving one or two lines stating something in "their own words" at the end.

It's unfortunate to see this on Hive too, although not as often as I expected. A review is a critique; it's you saying what you liked, what you didn't like, what caught your attention, what bothered you, what made you happy, what made you uncomfortable, and more about a particular movie. That's what people want to read, not a summary, since there are plenty of YouTube videos of people summarizing movies all the time.

But well, this is why "spoilers" happen, something that in all my years of reviewing I never needed to resort to when giving my opinion of a movie. I think that someone who knows what they are writing can give their opinion of a story or a movie without needing to be so specific or describe exact scenes from that movie.

But hey, that's just my opinion. 😅
