The Movies reviews and comments

It’s a great movie making simulator every creative person will like. The process of creating a movie is very detailed from writing a plot to filming and so on. Besides the artwork, you need to be a clever businessman to run your studio and have money for other films. The idea that the time will go from the earliest movies of 1920s to the present day and further in the future is brilliant. You can also see the result of your work at an annual ceremony and get rewards for your movies. Feeling of being a film director has never been so realistic.
This game is such a disappointment! And I know why this happened. I can understand - you wanted more money but producing Black&White 2, Fable and The Movies at the same time was a huge mistake. All these games are average though they had a potential. And The Movies is a boring Cinema Tycoon copy.
