A good movie has many factors for it to be a great. Movies can end up being terrible or great depending on how well these factors are done. In my opinion the factors that make up a good move is a good story , an interesting cast of characters , and a very good and satisfying ending. A good movie needs these factors so that the movie can be memorable and enjoyable. Though if all of this is done in a wrong way the movie will be forgotten and will probably make you want your money back. These are the factors and they should be used as guidelines whenever someone is making a movie.

Now a story is great when it has a great plot,excellent pacing,and originality. When I say good plot I mean that the plot is well done and does not leave the audience confused. Excellent pacing is when the speed of the movie is fast and gives the audience I nice blend of exposition and action. Now these day originality in a movie is rare. But when the movie has a story that's original it's usually done right or even perfectly. That's why I like movies that were from the 90’s because of how original they

were. A great example of this was the matrix. Even though it is one the most overrated movie I have seen , I still love it. The movie had an excellent story with great pacing and originality. The movie overall was my kind of film. That is what a good story needs. The next factor that a good movie needs is a good and interesting cast of characters. An interesting cast of characters need a good or well written personality , a complex backstory , and some redeeming quality for us to even care about the character. Just like stories there is barely any originality in characters. But sometimes reused characters can be done well.Though an example of good characters is Guardians Of the Galaxy. The movie was great and memorable because of the well written dialogue , great story , astounding visuals , and above all interesting characters. The characters had great personalities,funny lines,and some reasons for us (the audience) to care about the character. The last factor is a good ending. The ending is what could make or break a movie. The ending needs to tie all loose ends,not leave us confused,and overall a happy ending. Like the back to the future series. The ending was very satisfying and had a happy ending which made the movie memorable. These are the factors and this is how a movie should be done.
Though there are examples of what a bad movie could be.

The factors can be destroyed if the the factor is made terrible. The first factor that could be messed up is the story. A bad story can have a bad plot,barely any explanation,and an unoriginal story. An example of this is Frozen. It was a bad movie by having boring characters , questionable character personality change , and a 2nd part pulled out of thin air. Now bad characters have no emotion , well written dialogue , and terrible backstory. A great example is food fight . It was the worst animated movie of all time. It had terrible character development , terrible voice acting , and a terrible script. Now a bad ending can destroy the movie if it’s sad , short , or ended on a sour note. An example is the movie Alien . The movie was great but the ending was done on a sour note and not

satisfying.
These were the factors that make up a good movie . movies need this in order to be good . The movies will be bad if you don’t have them.Movies these days are just copied and pasted . And if people don’t follow the guidelines then it’s lazy . Thats what I think makes a good movie.
