-I don't hear this phrase from many professional movie critics but fans and self-styled commentators throw it around so much that when I read it now I automatically think 'pretentious twit'. I understand the concept I think, though if anyone wants to contributr their take that's OK too. The thing is I'm not sure alot of the people who use it understand it's true meaning and just say it because they think it sounds knowledgeable and sophisticated. I just want entertainment!

No, "thumbs up" is.

Character Development is let up to the actor. Actors get a script and go by it, when playing a given character. The actor has the flexibility to in ovate and develop the character to his style as long as the script is followed. Jim Carey has a vast ability to use this concept. This allows him to enhance the movie with his witt and add ons. Another word I would use to replace the one mentioned would be "Characterization."

I think it is an essential element in knowing the quality of a movie. We are moved and entertained by a character who grows and progresses as a person. Even in a hard-hitting action movie, we want to see that the main character has grown as a result of all the action he/she went through.

They should be using "Character Development" as a verb, cause it is something you do right? I have never heard it as a phrase. Character Devolment to me mean sounds like a process of developing the story and background of a character the actor is going to play. Then the actor pulls from the research he or she has learned to pull off the performance, essentially becoming the character in order to deliver. I hope this helped.

It does sound pretentious sometimes, but it sums up the point quickly, making for a better read.
If you worded it out in full blown thought process, the article would drone on and bore the readers.

Yep, I often use Danny Glover's phrase from lethal weapon 1-4, " I'm too old for this S***"
