Movie Review Writing Prompts PDF for Writing Groups and Teachers

Movie Review Writing Prompts PDF for Writing Groups and Teachers

Movie reviews might be good writing practice for either groups or classrooms, whether or not they are actually posted. Maybe extra credit if it is posted? It is always helpful when people tell what they liked and cover one critical point for other potential film viewers. This free PDF is open-ended so writers may select a film or just the genre to review. Writers may add specific titles or a genre, then assign a star value. Writing responses might be timed or not, and shared or not.

What made me think of this idea? Oh, we received such sad news about a friend's daughter who has been fighting cancer for a long time and is spending her days in bed. She watches movies part of each day and even continues to write movie reviews. Being taken care of well, it is good she has such a hobby to occupy her time. I'm sure others may have similar hobbies, but this story today hit especially hard during the holiday season. I wish everyone was well, happy, and secure in housing/food/health. But of course, that is not probably true. It sure would be nice. 

Science Fiction readers might enjoy using this page, either to write about a specific title or just the genre. Tell us what you really think!

Watching Hallmark movies in December? The guy from the city is old news when the charming small-town guy in a flannel shirt is helping everyone and is ever so romantic. Think of a certain film or write about romance movies in general. How many stars?

Some people like horror or scary movies. If so, this picture prompt might be just the thing to get the creative juices flowing. 

Do you know of a just really good movie that you can't stop thinking about? So enjoyable and captivating? This page might be used for such a title. 

Travel or nights out on the town type films might be rated with this page. 

Well, sometimes we all wait patiently through a show another person likes. Has this happened to you? This page might be a good one for writing about such events. 

Documentaries are good for people who want to relive history or have some understanding of the topic before watching. Some people prefer nonfiction, are you one?

Ghost story films can be in a different category than horror as they may encompass the supernatural. People probably have definite opinions on this category. 

Any old plain movie review for people not inspired by the other pages might be used to pen thoughts before posting online. 

And, as always, a coloring page for any children who may have to attend a writing group or session.
