Movie reviews provide a medium of communication for the movie fans community. Movie reviews not only help viewers and potential viewers to obtain a general opinion about a movie but also allow the fans to construct an opinion of the movie. In this work, an analysis of over 60,000 movie reviews has been implemented to find meaningful text representation via text embedding. We improved the text embedding by proposing an attention-based Bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) network by using over 60,000 movie review text data as the training set and over 20,000 movie review text data as the testing set. Based on the data features, we performed a probabilistic analysis of the information related to words and phrases, combined the analysis results with text embedding, spatialized the text embedding, and compared the performance of the proposed attention-based spatialized word embedding Bi-LSTM model with several traditional machine learning models. The attention-based spatialized word embedding Bi-LSTM model proposed in this paper achieves an F1 score of 0.91 on the movie review sentiment classification dataset, with a prediction accuracy of 91%, outperforming the results of the current state-of-the-art research. The model can effectively identify the sentimental tendencies of movie reviews and use the analyzed sentimental tendencies to guide consumers in their consumption and obtain feedback on movie content.
