[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of December 12, 2006, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: OK, but needs some grammar and spellcheck work, as well as exansion.

2. Factually accurate?: OK, but needs more references for the information that is missing (see below)

3. Broad in coverage?: This article is not thorough. It should include promotion of the film, production costs and methods, how much the film made, any DVD release info, soundtrack info, a cast and crew listing and any anecdotes of note about the film. For a good example, see King Kong (2005 film)

4. Neutral point of view?: I can see than an effort was made to show point of view, but I added "citation needed" tags to two paragraphs that claim that critics or viewers felt a certain way about the movie, but then doesn't mention or reference proof of this.

5. Article stability? Stable, but actually needs more work.

6. Images?: Only one, but that is good enough, since most pics associated with movies are going to be copyrighted. You might be able to find an ad, but if not, that's ok.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far. --Esprit15d 14:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
