Talking about movies (Part 2)
Last week we talked about different kinds of films and I introduced some expressions used to describe them in English. This week, I want suggest some phrases for giving opinions:
Saying you like a movie
- Wasn't that a great movie?
- That was fantastic!
- It was the best (Westwood film) I've ever seen.
- I really enjoyed (The Spanish Patient).
Saying you dislike a movie
- Hmmm... that was a bit disappointing.
- It was so boring I almost fell asleep!
- That was rubbish!
- I didn't really enjoy (The Mobfather).
Explaining why you like a movie
- I loved the (ending).
- I really like the way (he rescued the policeman).
- Didn't you think (the car chase) was cool?
- The (lead actor) was really convincing.
Explaining why you don't like a movie
- I thought (the acting) was terrible!
- (The plot) didn't make any sense.
- (The special effects) looked really dated.
- The first part was good, but the ending was stupid.
