Alliteration is a highly underrated FWFR category.
I've always made an effort to write alliterative reviews, so I can't really respond to the challenge by trying any harder than I already do. I will, however, try to come up with some of my best...something that's getting harder and harder the more reviews I have published.
But off the top of my head, I'll point people to my first ever review. I guess a link isn't required, everyone can find it by just going to My Reviews and sorting by chronological order. I'll try to find more in the meantime. Can someone remind me how to set up a link that shows just a single review?
I'm also looking forward to reading others' alliterative reviews, I'm a regular voter on such reviews. |

Technically the review for Jaws 4 is incorrect since there is a Jaws 5, which is why I never voted for it.
One for Monsturd Added bonus: all words rhyme. |

Here are two favorites from my stable:
One which additionally consists of only monosyllables.
A triple alliteration.
Can anyone come up with a quadruple alliteration?
Neither of your links is giving me your review.
Found your Demon Seed review, however.. Good news--I had already voted. Bad news--I can't vote again.
Each link gives a row of five - mine should be in the middle. |

You could always take aim at my quadruple alliteration challenge.  |

I know that rhymes by definition contain alliteration, but I was more thinking that they could have a later challenge of their own.
Oops. Didn't read this until after I posted. |

It's additionally a propos, because in the original comics, all the chapters were words starting with V.
V For Vendetta inspired several of us
I wrote a bunch of reviews immediately after seeing it, over half of which are alliterative   |

Alliterative reviews were something I used to do more often but I stopped, probably because they didn't garner that many votes. Glad to air a few here in a welcoming atmosphere! In terms of Morkeleb's challenge most of mine are actually only basic capital alliteratives, apart from...
Das Boot
which is a fairly obvious "three", but across the whole four word review.
This one for Mars Attacks! is a tricky one. It's alliterative and a rhymer, but also a plain repetition. Not sure if it counts.
And here are four others I like selected from my collection!
Fargo
Gremlins
Immortal Beloved

Nope, the problem is that you've sorted them by votes. So as soon as someone voted on them they disappear out of the list of five (as they have more votes). The first link definitely does not have your review in it, and never will have again unless you sort by something other than votes. E.g., reviewer name or chronologically etc. The second one still contains your review but it will disappear as soon as it gets one more vote. |
