The answer

A Muslim must be keen to guard his time, for it is his life. Wasting it on watching movies causes him to miss out on much good, and he may lose his faith and his worldly life. This is especially true since most of them contain forbidden elements, such as unveiled women and music. They may also affect the viewer's character, making him inclined towards violence, foul language, and trivializing evil deeds. Supporting an actor or wishing for his victory is not considered murder.
