When becoming a critic. You need to think to yourself: "I need a reference" So. You could, go to the nostalgia critic, to learn the funny way of being a critic. Or siskel & ebert, who go for the more strict way. Or me for a funny and serious way. Anyways, This, is ThatSparkyChick's tutorials on how to be a critic. Part 1: The writing.

When being a comedy Critic, you need a reference point. I recommend Everyone from ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com, and you need a genre to review. Either, movies like me, Comics like Linkara, Video games like RAD. Hell, Even anime like JesuOtaku. In general, you need a specific item to review.

When writing you need to think of original jokes, or steal some form other critics. It's important to be 95% percent original on your reviews and jokes. Which brings me to what we critics call: "Critic's catch" Which is a term used for dibs. But don't worry, you can review something else that someone else already did, but stick to movie that you haven't seen anyone review, or people you don't even know.

Pacing is important in a review. you can't make your episode too quick or too long. Make it about 5-30 minutes long. That will keep the viewer interested, or bored out of there skulls.... You need to keep reviews at right paces.

Actions are important in a review. you can't just sit around in a chair every review. Have some interaction. it's important.

I think that's all in the writing. Get clicking and typing on that computer, and write your script. I'm ThatSparkyChick, and tune in next time for Part 2: The tech.

I love Tgwtg. ( The episodes not the peop- I'll just stop )
And yes, I agree with you, if you just sit down and do nothing its boring. If you do TOO much action, It's not a review, its a short movie.
