From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A review is an evaluation of a publication, such as a movie, video game, musical composition, book, or a piece of hardware like a car, home appliance, or computer. In addition to a critical statement, the review's author may assign the work a rating to indicate its relative merit. More loosely, an author may review current events or items in the news. A compilation of reviews may itself be called a review. The New York Review of Books, for instance, is a collection of essays on literature, culture, and current affairs. National Review, founded by William F. Buckley, Jr., is an influential conservative magazine, and Monthly Review is a long-running socialist periodical. In scientific literature the literature review is a category of scientific paper, which provides a synthesis of research on a topic at that moment in time. A compilation of these reviews forms the core content of a 'tertiary' scientific journal, with examples including Annual Reviews, the Nature Reviews series of journals and Trends. A peer review is the process by which scientists assess the work of their colleagues that has been submitted for publication in the scientific literature. A software review is also a form of peer review, by the co-workers. A consumer review refers to a review written by the owner of a product or the user of a service who has sufficient experience to comment on reliability and whether or not the product or service delivers on its promises. An expert review usually refers to a review written by someone who has tested several peer products or services to identify which offers the best value for money or the best set of features. A bought review is the system where the creator (usually a company) of a new product pays a reviewer to review his new product. Primarily used in the car, movie and game industry this system creates a kind of undercover advertising. Bought reviews obviously are often biased, although exceptions occur. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Do good or bad reviews influence your decision to see movies? Q. I tend to read the reviews before hand just to see what I'm getting into. I think they influence me a tiny bit, but if I really wanna see a movie and it gets bad reviews I'll probably still see it. What about you all? Asked by Oh That Sarah - Thu Jul 2 23:25:44 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. Sarah! Long time no see! Although I am a proponent of independent thought, I hate to concede to the fact that the critics' reviews definitely influence me. I don't have a ton of free time, so watching a terrible movie is irritating to me because I will resent the fact that I could have done something exponentially more productive. Answered by Mr. Roberts - Thu Jul 2 23:43:01 2009 do reviews good reviews influence you to buy things on the internet? Q. For me it depends on what type of item im buying. If its a video game or a movie then i wont care about the rating because thats opinion. But stuff like tv's and other electronics matter on the reviews part. When theres only one product to buy i just buy it if i need it. Asked by the cole train - Thu Mar 12 01:55:16 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. For consumer electronics, reviews are critical. Amazon is a great place for this. Try Newegg as well. In most cases, if an item has more than 30 reviews, the general consensus is fairly accurate. If a product seems good, scan the one and two-star reviews. In general, lower-star reviews for good products occur because the user either had a bad experience with shipping, or doesn't understand how to use the product he/she bought. The better a product is, unless it's brand new, the more reviews it will have... especially on Amazon. I agree with you on video games and movies- I don't pay attention to those reviews until there are 100 or more. Answered by Chris B - Thu Mar 12 02:10:21 2009 Where could I find negative and positive reviews from the 1949 performance of South Pacific?
Q. I have to write an essay on the Reception History of South Pacific. The problem is that since the revival of South Pacific just came out and that it is just that good, I cannot find any information on negative reviews or good reviews from 1949 when it first premiered. If you could tell me where I could find that information I would be most grateful. I Don't need any reviews from the revival and I already looked at New York Times. Asked by Emily H - Fri Dec 19 17:19:13 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Dear Emily, I could not find any negative reviews either but thought that you might like to read this bit from Wikipedia. Critical reception and success The first out-of-town tryout for South Pacific began on March 7, 1949, at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut. After the first performance, Mark Todd, a leading theatre critic, told Mary Martin, who was playing Nellie, not to take the show to New York. Martin was shocked and asked why, and Todd replied, "Because it's too... good for them!" The show moved on to Boston, where it was so successful that playwright George S. Kaufman complained (facetiously) that people in Boston were so excited about the show they shoved money under the doors of the Shubert Theatre.
