(обязательно!), It's sure to be a box office hit / a huge success (будет хитом проката/огромным успехом), It's a highly entertaining read (очень увлекательное чтение).
Отрицательные (не рекомендуют): Wait until it comes out on DVD («подожди выхода на DVD», т.е. не идти в кино), This is one to avoid (лучше избегать), Don't bother with this one (не стоит тратить время), I wasn't at all impressed (меня совсем не впечатлило), It's bound to be a huge flop! (обязательно провалится).
К чему относятся: book — well worth reading, a highly entertaining read; film — well worth seeing, box office hit, wait until it comes out on DVD; performance (спектакль, концерт) — well worth seeing, box office hit; all four (книга, фильм, диск, спектакль) — Don't miss it!, It's a masterpiece, It's a must!, It's sure to be a huge success, This is one to avoid, Don't bother with this one, I wasn't at all impressed, It's bound to be a huge flop.
