More of a summary of the movie than an analysis of the heroic archetype. Lead and/or conclusion missing or formulaic.

Response does not address the question or position is unclear. Notes and thoughts hastily assembled. No real lead or conclusion - it just begins, and it just ends.

Both movie and one additional source mostly follow MLA format. Parentheticals are thoughtfully included and embedded.

Both movie and one additional source are included but contain MLA mistakes. Ideas from these sources are not always used in meaningful ways or not always embedded. They sometimes feel like fillers.

Both the movie and additional source contain mistakes in regards to MLA format and are not embedded in the analysis.

Missing one source. Information from it is not used meaningfully. Some information feels like it was just stuck in - does not flow or not embedded.
