So, not many people know this, but I'm a big movie fan, so recently, in addition to my video toy reviews, I made a blog where I review movies, old or new, whatever I feel like, and I take requests too(my family's movie collection is posted on the site). so please check it out, and if you're a subscriber to my Youtube account(krx50) or even if you aren't, please give me feedback and tell me what you think

I think you spend way too much time on summarizing the plot of each film. In the case of Akira and Prince of Persia, you spend at least twice as much time on the summary as you do on the actual review part. This is unnecessary: people who have already seen the film don't need such an in-depth summary of the events, and people who haven't won't want to know that much about it going in. All they need is a basic outline of the plot as a reference for what you discuss in your review.

You also need to work on breaking things up into paragraphs. Try to organize your thoughts a little bit more. You don't have to stick to it on a blog, but working with a self-imposed word count (at least until you get used to it) might help you to figure out what information is really pertinent to the reader.

Anything positive? Becuase I don't like only hearing negatives. Not to mention that I don't really want to restrict myself, and I don't want to ever have to truly limit myself.

I thought you were good about stepping outside your biases (and having biases isn't a negative, everyone has them). In the Holmes review, you admitted the plot was well-done even if it wasn't your cup of tea; you recommended the Den-O movie specifically to Den-O fans and said that Akira isn't for the faint of heart.

A lot of wannabe internet reviewers aren't really capable of that; they just want to push everything they like on everyone and yell at them if they don't "get" it. So I think that's a positive trait you have that's worth cultivating in future reviews.

Well, I also recommended Ore, Tanjo! to action fans, but I see what you're getting at. I am trying to improve, since I'm rather new at typed reviews. I mean, with the Den-O movie especially, I try to go into detail with a lot of the elements for those who are unfamiliar with Den-O, and it'll take time to get this down pat.

I also think so.

Listen to negative comments, it will help you learn. :thumbs: Aside from that, fix some spaces, add more pictures to attract more readers. Also, try putting jump breaks in your entries so that it would not strain the readers.
