The source of this article is from the website www.pressofatlanticcity.com. The key points of this article are to outline the devastating impacts towards film criticism via Facebook or twitter in this case, The women being interviewed specifically states that "Almost every time after I go out (to a movie), I'll tweet about it." This shows to us that this could mean either a good or bad thing for the films credibility. However, she also tweets this "If you like science or plot, this isn't a movie for you; if you like explosions for no reason, you’ll love it." This could easily put of a film that you have been looking forward to seeing as it would make you think that the film is rubbish. However, if someone like Steven Fry, who has around 4 million twitter followers, was to tweet that a film is not as good as he expected it to be, then the reaction of his 4 million followers would be to not go and see the film in question. But one quote that stood out for me would have to be that “Twitter has broadened the reach of bloggers and other aspiring opinion-makers”. This is because reminds me that twitter can effect so many people worldwide about a film that could potentially be the film of the year. In my opinion, this could persuade people that a film is rubbish when actually it could be very good. I think this is awful because it is a miss representation of the entire film and what people would think of it, and what people would say if they got asked about it.
