Reviews

A review is a critical examination of a film, with remarks. Reviews can focus on a variety of angles. Reviews are different from theoretical criticisms, because reviews are the result of the critic's subjective opinion rather than objective evaluation. This category is for sites dedicated to reviewing modern feature films, including Hollywood blockbusters and independent features.

For objective evaluations of films based on their merits in modern film theory, see Movie Theory and Criticism.

Please submit only sites that deal with movie reviews. Individual film reviews should be submitted in their relevant subcategories in Movie Titles. Please do not submit sites that are under construction.

By Genre

Links to other categories that list film review sites specific to just one genre. The category includes sites whose focus is on reviewing films from more than one genre, but not all genres.

Please don''t submit here unless your site fits into no other category.

If your site is specific to reviews about a specific genre of films then submit to a linked category from here.

If your site reviews films regardless of genre, or from all genres, please submit it to the general Arts/Movies/Reviews category. The only sites listed here are those that focus on reviewing films from specific genres.

By Region

This category is for sites that focus on reviewing films for a particular regional (national) audience.

Please click on the link relevant to the region your site belongs in, then submit the site in that category. Please submit sites to this category only when there is no relevant Regional link for you to follow. Please do not submit sites that are under construction.

By Title

This category contains links to Reviews subcategories in Arts/Movies/Titles.

No sites will be listed in this category. Submitting your site here might delay its listing in the directory.

This is a collection of @links to relevant categories. Please do not submit any sites to this category, use the links to navigate to the appropriate category and submit your site there. If there is no link to the relevant movie category, that means there are not enough individual review pages in that category to justify a subcategory for them. In that case, please go to Arts/Movies/Titles and submit your site to the relevant movie or letter category there.

Capsule

Capsule reviews are those which provide a brief opinion on a film in a few sentences.

Please submit only sites which have brief reviews of movies. Synopses (plot summaries) are not considered capsule reviews. Please do not submit your site if it is under construction.

Hubs

Review hubs are sites which have multiple reviewers contributing different opinions on various films. These may be permanent contributors on the staff or user reviewers. This category is for sites which offer reviews from more than one different critic.

Please submit only sites which have more than one contributor of film reviews. Please do not submit your site if it is under construction.

Humorous

This subcategory is for reviews which look at films with a degree of humour and/or irony.

Please submit only sites which contain humorous reviews. Please do not submit your site if it is under construction.

Ratings

Film ratings are a quick way to gauge whether a film is worth watching or not. They come in different varieties, the most common being a 'star' rating, or a letter grade. This subcategory is for sites whose primary content is film ratings, rather than full-length or capsule reviews.

Please submit only sites that focus on rating, rather than reviewing, films. For sites that feature short reviews, please submit to the Capsule Reviews subcategory.

Top Lists

This category is for sites which contain reviews organized in subjective 'top' lists - according to how much the site authors liked or disliked the films, or along other dimensions. Examples:
The Weirdest Films
10 Films to Watch Before You're Fifty
The Best Movies of All Time
The Worst Movies Ever
The Best Films Starring Marilyn Monroe

Please submit only sites that contain reviews organized in a ''top list'' fashion. Please do not submit your site if it is under construction.

If your site focuses on only ''good'' or ''bad films'', according to you, please submit it to the appropriate subcategory under this category.

Weblogs

This category is for weblogs in English containing primarily movie reviews.

Please submit only weblogs in English with significant content created by the owner. If your weblog deals primarily with films in a specific genre, please submit it to the appropriate subcategory under Arts: Movies: Genres instead of here.

If your weblog contains primarily short (1 paragraph or less) reviews, please submit it to Arts: Movies: Reviews: Capsule.
