It's meant to be your own words, what's the point in just copying and pasting others reviews?

The story and summary part isn't the problem here.

What's the point in having this topic if the 'review' is simply a bunch of 'x/10's'

People should be able to copy and paste the story and summary from another website like iMDB so they don't get that part wrong by accident (do you really trust someone to get the plot description for Memento or Primer right?), but the actual review should have to be written out like a proper review - hence the review part.

For instance, the acting being 'x/10' should have a whole section of the review dedicated to explaining why the acting was x/10, same for story and ending, visual effects, script, soundtrack, etc.

The whole idea for this topic is so lazy. People might as well just do the following:

My overall rating: 11/10 cos Alexandra Daddario in a swimsuit makes me feel funny

I get as much information from that as I do from the current 'Rules' for a review laid out in this topic.
But why would people bother wasting that much of their time if there's no badge involved?

You too huhh?

She is top 5 for me and she is in one of my fave shows (White Collar)

But i agree no need to copy things other than the synopsis, everything needs to be user ideas and thoughts otherwise its not ItzSaxbyyy's review of a TV show its MetaCritics review and then the topic is pointless as it takes away from those who make it their own thoughts and opinions.

Yet you couldn't write it in your own words?
Didn't know such thing were a difficult task.

There wouldn't be a point in having a review topic for films if everything were just copied n pasted from other sites and posted here. Same thing for game reviews. If you can't summarize something that has all the damn info right in front of you, you're better off not doing it then.
