So I'm working on a new blog where I will post movie reviews, trailers, that sort of thing.

What I want to know is does the theme look OK? The background etc? There's a couple of design flaws which I'm getting worked on such as comment backgrounds are white instead of transparent etc. But the site as a whole. Is it OK?

Only want feedback on homepage layout and the theme as the rest of the pages aren't set up yet. They're just there to provide me with a menu in the header.
 
The background seems way too bright and distracting. Instead of looking at your content, I'm stuck looking at your background.
 
I've added a bit more content thus far. Does the font style look OK? It uses Lancelot site-wide.
 
Personally, the red background pattern looks out of place and unnecessary. I think the font on your nav bar is unprofessional looking also. That is just my opinion as a consumer.

Agree with this regarding background and navigation bar. Besides that, I think you're off to a good start if you continue to add content.
 
So I changed the background to something a bit more darker. Still has a pattern which is what I want - but not really distracting. For me at least.

I also added a new effect to the Dad's Army promo in the homepage. Is the speed of the effect OK?
 
The theme looks great and I like how it's all set up. I found it very slow with the sizes of the images and the dad army image.. Lagging at my end A very little but then my internet is slow today

Yeah it just took me 5 seconds to load MovieHub and I am having 0 issues getting instant loads on other sites.

I think the images on the homepage are a little excessively huge. If you make them a little smaller I think it could definitely be more appealing and you could fit a LOT more content on the homepage.

I also think you can a much better job on the logo. You want something you can brand and I think a nice movie wheel with a cool logo would be awesome. 🙂 I actually ran a movie blog similar to the one you are trying to create and it was called "Movie Rewind." It was awesome.
 
I have a couple new ideas for the homepage. Just gotta choose the best one 😛
