How it's used
While 評論 is used in both formal and informal contexts, it often carries a weight of professional or critical judgment. When you want to express a casual opinion or just share a thought, 講下 or 評價 are more natural choices. Using 評論 for everyday small talk can make you sound like you are writing a formal report or acting as a judge.
Examples
How would you review this movie?
He likes to comment on other people's private business.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 評論 with 批評, but 批評 specifically implies a negative critique or finding fault. If you use 評論, it remains neutral and does not necessarily mean you are criticizing someone.
