GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the lead, "The film was directed by Tim Story, who also directed the original", I know what it means, but your reader needs to understand it, so I suggest re-writing it a little. Also, the lead seems very short and it would be best to summarize the entire article, per here. In the Reception section, it would be more encyclopedic if "#1" was changed to "number one".
Done concerning the "#1" comment --Starstriker7(Dime algoor see my works) 15:41, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Done? The lead has been expanded, but maybe too much so. Your opinion? --Starstriker7(Dime algoor see my works) 21:05, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- Seems fine, if you see the GA film examples like, The Dark Knight, Spider-Man 2, and The Incredible Hulk, you'll see that the lead is expanded with greatly a lot of info. from the article. Check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- Reference 1, 2, 17, and 19 are missing Publisher info.
- Possibly Done I fixed 1, 2, and 19, but I cannot find any evidence of 17, which is rooted pretty deeply in the reception section. Should I simply remove half the section and do away with it? --Starstriker7(Dime algoor see my works) 15:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- No worries, I fixed the ref. setting and check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- Reference 1, 2, 17, and 19 are missing Publisher info.
- B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
- In the Promotion section, there is a lot of important information missing somewhat required sources, including the DVD release. If the New York Daily News liked the film, where's the source to back that up?
- Possibly Done The above dilemma excluded, all comments have from this criterion have been addressed thus far. --Starstriker7(Dime algoor see my works) 16:01, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
