A: I felt pleased after watching Despicable Me 3. It’s full of fun and energy. The directors Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda did a great job.
B: Their style appealed to me too because they included some serious but tender moments like Gru’s relationship with his daughters. The storyline also flows smoothly because it takes place shortly after the end of Despicable Me 2.
A: I think Steve Carell’s voice acting is impressive. He plays both roles for Gru and Dru, Gru’s long-lost brother. Kristen Wiig is Gru’s wife Lucy and together they add humor to the problems they face while trying to stop Balthazar Bratt.
B: You’re right! The evil villain tries to steal a big diamond and gets the husband-wife team kicked out of the Anti-Villain League. I couldn’t stand him, but his 1980s music was interesting.
A: Trey Parker plays him perfectly. The minions are my favorite. At first I was confused about their role in the film and with their language, but their adventures made me laugh so much.

Four parts of a movie review:
Mulan is an exciting action movie. It comes from an old Chinese story. The movie is about a village girl, Mulan. She dresses up like a boy and takes her father’s place to fight in the army. I think the actress played Mulan’s role well. The other actors are also fantastic and they did a good job in the movie.
I like Mulan very much. The movie shows her love for her
family, friends and country. If you plan to watch a movie this weekend and you want to see something enjoyable, choose Mulan!

Sample One
Titanic, a romance, tells us the most impressive love story that happened between Jack and Rose on the famous ship—Titanic. Actually, besides love, we can also find the human splendors and weaknesses (光辉与阴暗) when people are faced with the disaster(灾难).
From the story, I can feel that love, the most beautiful thing in the world, can touch us one moment, but last for a lifetime. No matter where two people live, near or far, as long as the genuine
(真诚的) hearts never change, love will never stop. Just as the song says, their hearts will go on.
It’s the best choice to watch Titanic if you want to find an unforgettable love story. I’m sure it will move you deeply.
