Intermediates!

Movie critics have a difficult job. They have to preview movies and communicate back to the public, through the media, whether a new film is worth seeing or not. It is not adequate enough to say it was "great", or it was "awful". Critics have to discuss what makes it a success, to analyze characters, theme, plot, setting and to which audience this movie is best suited. Take the role of a movie critic and critique "The Bee Movie". Check back to see if others agree with you.
