Review by HereToHelp

 * Coverage and factuality: 6
 * Virtually no references, halfway outlines the story, and a lot of fancruft. Leaves me feeling bewildered: "huh?"


 * Writing style: 7
 * Not very organized; seems to have a lot of non-paragraph style text. Breaks formality on occasion.


 * Structure: 4
 * The text seems unorganized, jumping into the opening crawl without explanation. Why the big sections on Lord Helmet and Spaceball 1, but nothing else? There's a lot of random comments that ruin the jokes before they can be told. I wouldn't oppose a section of "selected jokes" or something to do the gags justice. The movie itself is very funny, but this article, though it's not meant to be funny, somehow just feels confused.


 * Aesthetics: 8
 * Two images, but a lot of lists keeps the text from taking on an arid feel.


 * Overall: 5
 * Not organized and not sourced.
