GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    "Frustrated by his inability to fight the reaper, Frank attempts to kill himself but Lucy gets him to instead go to the freezing works so that he can be brought back." This sentence is a bit confusing, it sounds like Bannister wants to kill himself because he can't fight Bartlett, you should mention that he tries to kill himself so he can fight Bartlett.
    The casting section looks a bit weird, if casting information can't be provided you should explain who the character is, see The Brothers Grimm for example. Another option is putting casting information in a different section.
    "Zemeckis and Universal agreed on the condition that Jackson make New Zealand look similar to the Midwestern United States." make -> made
    "Some shots were farmed out..." what do you mean with "Farmed out"
    In the Reception section, there's no need for Rotten Tomatoes and IGN to be italicized, since they're websites and per here.
    "The Frighteners received mixed reviews from New Zealand, Jackson's native country" how can New Zealand comment on the movie? The sentence should rephrased to something like "The Frighteners received mixed reviews critics from New Zealand, Jackson's native country".
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    There's only one image in the entire article, at least one more image should be added (there's plenty of free material to use, but a screenshot to visually identify the visual effects would be nice too). The only image, is tagged because it has no author info (a way to resolve this is replacing the current template with {{Non-free use rationale}}), and has no caption.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    I'll place the article on hold, until the above concerns are fixed. This page is on my watchlist, so you don't have to contact me when you've fixed the issues. Good luck.--Music26/11 15:54, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Extra comment; could info about the soundtrack be provided? (this link might help). Again, Good Luck.--Music26/11 15:57, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm getting closer to finish addressing the concerns. I just need to write the Cast descriptions and add a Soundtrack section. Thanks for reviewing. Wildroot (talk) 02:05, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Take your time. Oh, also, the word "Scythe", has a capital S, and I would link the word since I didn't know what it was until I searched for it (but, then again, that me be just me). Anyhow, good luck with fixing my concerns.--Music26/11 20:08, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I finished addressing your concerns. I think the article is ready. Wildroot (talk) 02:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm terribly sorry, but there are a few things left: the part in the characters section on Ray Lynskey has no info, the part on magda-rees jones says "local new anchor", I think you mean news. Also, the Soundtrack section has no references and the tracklisting takes up to much place, perhaps you can provide some info on the reception of the score (and maybe move it to the release section). See Dexter to make the tracklist collapsable.--Music26/11 15:17, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that. I fixed the general concerns, but I feel that soundtrack reviews for a film article are not really mandatory for GA status. However, the AllMusic mention is sort of a great start. What do you think? Wildroot (talk) 20:40, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you see, I would really like to pass the article, but a section that is only two sentences long is just too short. So if you can't find any information to expand the section, you can remove the section.--Music26/11 12:35, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
P.S.: Check out the soundtrack section in Tenebrea, for possible inspiration.--Music26/11 12:40, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've added some information for the soundtrack per request. It's pretty non-notable stuff, but it's the best I can find. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:55, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Great job! I think this article is ready. Wildroot (talk) 00:04, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Fantastic! GA pass.--Music26/11 13:57, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
