What do you look for in a film ?

In my case depends the genre I’m watching.

Romance and Dramas. Being invested in the story, a story which gets my attention and has a good peace to not bore me.

Musicals and Music Biopics, great songs really that’s all I’m looking for here.
Music which makes me go looking for the soundtrack right after watching it.

Action and blockbusters I look for cool cHaracters, characters which make me root for them.
The reasons MCU Fans, Star Wars Fans and Bond fans. We love those films because they presented us great charming heroes, guys we sigh for and make us girls feel like I want a Man like him.

Comedy : hear the most simple answer jokes with great delivery. a movie which genuinely makes me laugh a lot and makes me very happy at the end

- First, the premise (with some sense of a theme that interests me),
- then the director along with the writer (better if they're one and the same)
- then the cast
but any genre might be used as a delivery system, so I don't start with that in mind.
And nice if it's pretty, but that can't make up for flaws in the writing (yet great writing can carry a low budget production).
