一般来说，影评属于夹叙夹议的议论文。这种文体主要以一般现在时态介绍剧情内容及发表自己的看法。人称通常采用第一、第三人称。
一、基本结构
影视评论适宜用“三段式”写法。
第一段：背景简介(setting)。对电影的名称、特点、导演等作简单介绍。
第二段：情节概述(main plot of the film)。包括主要演员及故事梗概。电影情节介绍不宜太长，只需把自己要评论的内容突出即可。
第三段：观后评论(making comments/reviews in some way)。可以选择性地从不同角度对电影的主题、情节、人物形象的塑造、语言风格、演员的演技、画面特点及拍摄理念等方面有针对性地发表个人看法，但不要面面俱到。最后对电影进行总体评价。
