Film criticism is the analysis and evaluation of films and the film medium. In general, it can be divided into journalistic criticism such as appears regularly in newspapers and other popular, mass-media outlets and academic criticism by film scholars that is informed by film theory and published in academic journals. ==Journalistic criticism== Film critics working for newspapers, magazines, broadcast media, and online publications, mainly review new releases, although some reviewers include reviews of older "classic" films. The plot summary and description of a film that makes up the majority of the review can have an impact on whether people decide to see a film. In recent times, the impact reviews have on a film's box office performance and DVD rentals/sales have become a matter for debate although that itself is up for debate. There are those who think modern movie marketing, using pop culture convention appearances and social media along with traditional means of advertising, have become so invasive and well financed that established reviewers with legitimate criticism cannot be heard over the din of popular support. Moreover, this has led, in part, to a decline in the readership of many reviewers for newspapers and other print publications. The vast majority of film critics on television and radio have all but disappeared over the last thirty years, as well. It can be observed that most of the discussion of film on television is focused on the amount of box office business a film does, as if financial success were the only criterion needed to define artistic success. Today arts criticism in general does not hold the same place it once held with the general public. Today, fan-run film analysis websites like Box Office Prophets and Box Office Guru routinely factor in general public film review opinion with those of more experienced reviewers in their projections of a film. Other websites, such as Rotten Tomatoes, combines all reviews on a specific film published online and in print to come up with an aggregated rating known as a "freshness rate." Some well-known journalistic critics have included: James Agee (''Time'' (magazine), ''The Nation''); James Berardinelli; Vincent Canby (''The New York Times''); Roger Ebert (''Chicago Sun-Times'', At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper); Mark Kermode (''BBC''); Pauline Kael (''The New Yorker''); Derek Malcolm (''The Guardian''); Michael Phillips (''Chicago Tribune''); and Joel Siegel (''Good Morning America''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Film criticism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
