Negative Positive
Title: One of the feebler film guides I've read.
Review: I enjoyed the "Films of the Seventies" book from this series, and quite frankly I expected better from "Films of the Eighties," which I found not only riddled with typos (not to mention glaring factual errors that a single viewing of the movies in question would have corrected) but saddled with limping, uninspired prose. Pauline Kael's books or the most recent edition of VideoHound will give readers more sharply written and insightful reviews than "Films of the Eighties."
Is the review positive or negative?
