     Today I read, "Review: 'The Bourne Legacy' Retroactively Poisons the Prior Trilogy" written by Scott Mendelson for the Huffington Post. This review of The Bourne Legacy seems to lack much structure and focuses much of it's energy on personal opinion. What I can say about the structure is that paragraphs typical started with plot descriptions then carried into a critique of the film and it's effect on the Bourne Trilogy. After plot descriptions he soon described some of the acting (but not much) and continued to throw in his opinions. This film review lacked cinematography and editing comments besides one saying he liked the choppiness of some editing sequences. This review was also written in a rude and sarcastic tone which did not help me sympathize with the writer. He did not even convey a real theme (besides it didn't have one).
    Because of seeing this lack of structure I feel this review was confusing, so to help me and the rest of the class there should be some form of structure when we are assigned to write a movie review of our own. This would help with making sure we cover everything. Also when writing our own reviews we should be allowed to choose the topic and movie itself. Besides that there should be guidelines on how we write it.
