Empire Review

Overall Rating

Glossy with lots of pages.

Too many ads, not much in the way of opinion.

I love movies, but Empire Magazine is a huge disappointment. It really is just a promotional magazine.
Too many rubbish flicks and low on critique and opinion.
Any publication that lacks a proper editorial article has to be pretty suspect. Nothing about trends or state of the industry.
Nothing to promote or even highlight home grown products. I would also have issues with the number of ads, but in these harsh times it may be a good thing.
Why five stars? Well 5 is pretty poor, like a C minus grade; but with a bit of spit and polish it could be so much better.
There is much to like, lots of pages and colour pleasing to the eye. To hold it feels a quality product. I just wish it had a bit more brains to go with its looks.
