Interesting review; you have almost got the introduction spot on there, so that is good! You need to also refer to which sources you will be using in the review - see Phil's example, here -
'This review examines Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack’s King Kong (1933), looking specifically at the the film’s representation of race. Key sources are Edward Said’s Orientialism (1978), which explores Western European views of ’the East’, and Robert JC Young’s, Postcolonialism: A Very Short Introduction (2003) for its definition of imperialism. The review will argue how it’s possible to interpret Cooper and Schoedsack’s King Kong as a colonial fantasy and will compare the 1933 original with Peter Jackson’s 2005 remake to explore how race and its representation has changed.' (Apologies for the lack of italics for the film names - I can't do that in the comments!)
Don't forget to reference the quote directly afterwards, with the author's surname and the date, so
'blah blah blah' (Smith, 2018) for example.
Be wary of using unnamed sources - although some of them will be reputable, there will be more that aren't, so always try to go for a publication with a named author.
Just couple of English language pointers - be aware of the difference between 'where' and 'were' and 'been' and 'being', and make sure that you are using the correct word.
