After my third review I find my self at a crossroad...
My first two reviews were constructive and although they were rated 6 overall they were positive and individual ratings where going up after each revision. Both of those rating I gave a 5 (not that it matters).
With this third review I got an overall 7. The problem is that everything the other reviewers were crazy about, this reviewer missed and I quote:
The script needs to kickstart the plot sooner, because sixty pages of prep and fifty pages of execution make the story feel disproportioned. Still, the script demonstrates a confident voice, and absolutely has potential for a tightly-wound, medium-budget, filmmaker-driven thriller (there’s a bit of ZODIAC and GONE BABY GONE to it).
It goes against what my first two reviewers described as fast paced and propulsive and I quote:
1st review:
This action thriller has some terrific set pieces and the author maintains a high level of tension throughout the script. The propulsive pace and strong action would please genre fans, effectively serving a sizable international audience.
2nd review:
The script is fast in pace, with professional level action writing, although there are some areas that could be fleshed out even more, and the page space to do so.
I think what struck me the most is the claim that there are 60 pages of prep that I find to be totally incorrect, and comparison to GONE BABY GONE didn't help. Edit. A HUGE APOLOGIE for lashing out on GONE BABY GONE. I had it confused with GONE GIRL. I just watched it again and I could see what the reviewer was referring to.
In my first two reviews there were suggestions how to make the script better, but in this review reviewer just points out to things that happen and the things he points out indicate to me that he didn't get the story as the first two did.
Now I don't know what to do. I feel that the script is finished and I don't want to settle for anything bellow the rating of 8 . I'm going to pay for a new evaluation, but I don't know if I should delete this rating, or is there a value of keeping the review which you think is wrong just because it's rated 7?
Any suggestion is appreciated...
