IMPRESSIONS OF THE FILM: LOVE IT OR HATE IT

I really enjoyed it. It was brilliant! I didn’t enjoy it at all. The plot was banal and the acting very poor.

It was/wasn’t what I expected. I definitely can/can’t recommend it to my friends.

The film was fantastic! The acting, the costumes and the scenery were superb!

The film was so boring that I switched over to another channel / left the cinema.

An extraordinary and moving performance by a great leading actor. A gripping and entertaining thriller, and full of drama. I loved it. I’m usually a fan of Jan Los, but this movie had such a weak plot. Very disappointing indeed. Very violent and too much swearing – totally unsuitable for children. – Disgusting!

Note: – use indeed after veryand an adjective or adverb to emphasize a statement. The film was very boring indeed. I liked it very much indeed.
