Movie/Music/DVD Reviews - Which of the following is the better method for you:
There are so many different types of media and product reviews. Some are really long and very analytical, some are very short and say practically nothing, other are in between with a little background and a bottom line opinion. With everyone so busy, long reviews seem a bit too tedious. What about you - which do you find more suitable to your needs?

    I generally don't like reading reviews at all until after seeing a film or listening to an album. It's best for me to go into something as fresh as I can, I don't like people telling me how I should feel about art until I've had a chance to take it in myself. Then sometimes I'll read reviews to see if others agree with my feeling.

    For movies and DVD's, a rating system at the start (checks or thumbs up type) then a brief reason for the rating. I usually decide without them anyway. For music, I'd like a little more detail on why it was liked or disliked. A link or 30 second cut of the song for the music is even better. I spend a lot more time and money on music.

    I don't need anything but the trailer. Reviews rarely ever echo my personal sentiments.

    Answered A very long review with critical analysis and comparisons to things I most likely can't relate to

    I have to own the fact that I am an old fashioned reader. . .one who relishes words, so that's the motivation for my choice. . .

    Some detail but mostly short and sweet and to the point...

    I like the in-between format with an added ADD table for when I don't have time to "read" and only have time to scan.
