Evaluativeness in the paradigm of the modern pragmatic approach is actualized at the junction of verbal communication and extralinguistic factors, which makes it one of the central categories of pragmalinguistic analysis. Evaluativeness is one of the genre-forming functions of film review. The purpose of this study is to consider the linguistic ways of broadcasting negative evaluation in the Englishlanguage network film review in the totality of their pragmatic aspects. The analysis showed that negative evaluativeness in the absolute majority is transmitted by emotionally expressive vocabulary with negative evaluative semantics. It is possible to strengthen the negative construction, in which emphatic constructions realize the pragmatic potential of the utterance to draw readers’ attention to a high degree of manifestation of a particular negative quality, thereby more clearly translates the author’s position and has a perlocative effect. It is also proved that, in addition to the tendency to increase negative evaluation, there is also a tendency to mitigate it, which is due to the genre features of film review. Among the methods of mitigation in the course of the analysis, we noted the statements of the assumption and the statements of the suggesting expressed by subordinate conditional sentences and the subjunctive mood, as well as the phenomenon of contrasting parts of a compound or complex sentence with the opposite evaluativeness.
