Reader’s Rating: 1 / 5
Movies are for emotional adolescents with fleeting attention spans who want to feel but lack the maturity to reflect. If you want to feel you go to a movie; if you want to reflect you read or go to a play.
This book entertainingly repeats advice from earlier writers on how to write scripts that make you feel. And it is scripts that make you feel that make money for both writer and producer. If money is your goal as a scriptwriter this book is a helpful package. If you want to write for the brain don’t waste your time with movies; you should be writing novels or drama. The leader doesn’t know that which is why I gave it 3 stars.

I feel obliged to give this book 1 star for two reasons:
1. It’s honestly obvious that Mr Snyder has questioned all his friends to dump 5 star reviews on the amazon.com website
2. His book really isn’t appealing

If you want to know how to direct excellent movies would you read a book by Michael Bay or Steven Spielberg? Mr. Spielberg, I reflect. So if you want to know how to write excellent screenplays do you read a book from the guy who wrote “Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot” and “Blank Check”? I did and I’m sorry for it. He basicly dishes out advice and then sort of contradicts himself. For example, he says all main characters should be introduced or hinted at within the first ten pages(minutes). Then he uses “Star Wars” as an example as a excellent movie that does things right. I agree. I it’s my favorite movie. But aren’t Luke Skywalker and Han Solo introduced after the first ten minutes? It’s a lot of things like that. So why should anyone listen to him? Don’t buy this book.

Have you noticed how all the reviews of this book are 5 stars and have you noticed how every review tells you “to buy this book!” I don’t reflect I’ve ever seen that on Amazon before, even with the best books out there!
I really don’t recommend buying this book. The advice really isn’t very excellent. When the guy’s only two credits are “stop! or my mom will shoot” and “Blank Check”, enough said! Don’t emulate him. Try ‘Tale’ by Robert Mckee or ‘The Devil’s guide to Hollywood’ by Joe Eszterhas.
