Writer Anthony O. Scott, from the New York Times, seems pleasantly surprised by 500 Days of Summer's creatively organized plot. He starts off by giving his opinion of the movie, as well as the movie's theme that love can be confusing, and can fail in the end, but still be a good experience. Most of the review focuses on summarizing the plot of the movie, although Scott does spend some time discussing the actors and the cinematography. He likes Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt together, but wishes that Marc Webb had developed the character Summer in to a complete character. Scott felt that her character lacked depth.
For our quarterly movie review, I think that we should only have a basic structure to follow, allowing some freedom as far as organization goes. We could just be required to discuss the three aspects of film, giving us the chance to decide what to write about based on what we find important during the film. I also don't think that the reviews should be too long, as most movie goers want a short, concise review to read, not an essay.
