Review by violet/riga edit

  • Coverage and factuality: 4
Doesn't establish notability or say anything about the film other than the plot; no referencing
  • Writing style: 5
Too much review-style writing ("delivers a memorable performance...") and a horribly large bulletpoint trivia section.
  • Structure: 6
A very poor lead, but the sections are appropriate.
  • Aesthetics: 6
Let down by the poor structure, and the article could do with one more screencap.
  • Overall: 4

The article is more IMDb than Wikipedia. violet/riga (t) 18:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Review by Jared edit

  • Coverage and factuality: 7
Plot included, but too much writing and detail. Seemed pretty factual to me. No describing paragraph on the top.
  • Writing style: 4.5
Too much writing about the plot, and not enough information about other things related to the movie. Too much trivial information: an eyesore. All of the bullets are bothersome to look at. Decent writing.
  • Structure: 6.5
Too many bullets; headings offer a good flow; Infobox at top and refs/see alsos on bottom: general wikification.
  • Aesthetics: 5
Not very appealing to look at, but has plenty of factual information and nevertheless a good source for the movie.
  • Overall: 6
The structure and first-impression of the article ruins it. Good facts, though. --Jared [T]/[+] 01:55, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
