GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Plot, "Delatombe captures the Brothers and is about to burn them along with the forest and Jake's book of stories", you need to explain why Delatombe captures the Brothers, adding because of Jake's book isn't really helpful. Also, I know that the Plot doesn't need to go overboard with information, this particular thing does need to be precise.
- Check.

Also, I know that the Plot doesn't need to go overboard with information, this particular thing does need to be precise.
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the lead and Pre-production section, it would be best to add (MGM) after "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer", since the article does mention "MGM". Question: In the Plot, "twelve" is spelled out, but "10" is numerical; shouldn't "twelve" be numerical as well? Also, per here. In the Filming section, why is the "C" in "Collaborator" capitalized? In the Critical analysis section, "Rotten Tomatoes" and "Metacritic" are not supposed to be italicized, per here.
- Check.
