There’s An Online Page That Collects Bad Amazon Movie Reviews And Here’s 30 Of The Funniest Ones
Interview With Author
We live in the age of reviews. Both blessed and cursed, they do help us in making our minds up whether to buy something on the internet. There’s also nothing more powerful than leaving a review for an Uber driver, a restaurant on Yelp, or a shop on eBay.
But there’s a whole different world when it comes to reviewing movies on Amazon. Because you see, even the best ones do deserve a solid 1-star rating.
Luckily, the Twitter page "Amazon Movie Reviews" has chronicled all the funniest tiny bits of honesty. Get your popcorn ready, 'cause these will be more entertaining than 2 hours of cinematic boredom.

Bored Panda reached out to Joe Grabinski, the man behind the Amazon Movie Reviews Twitter account, which has more than 239.6K followers. Joe said that he started the humorous account purely by accident.
“I simply stumbled across humorous reviews when purchasing DVDs/Blu-rays on Amazon and wanted to store the funny reviews somewhere. I remember thinking, “It would be fun if I got 500 followers someday, people who enjoyed seeing these things.” Little did he know that the page would soon have 1K followers within 24 hours.
However, Joe was honest enough to say that he “had a lot of excitement and disappointment associated with the account: book agent, podcast, YouTube show, etc. None of those things quite panned out, but there have been a lot of fun benefits such as getting to know some interesting and cool people.”
Since the launch of the Amazon Movie Reviews page back in 2014, Joe has noticed that these days, people are leaving “a lot less reviews (for movies) on Amazon than they did when I started.” It makes it harder to find the good ones.
Joe assumes that it’s due to a couple of reasons: “1) The novelty of leaving reviews has worn off for people; 2) People are buying less Blu-rays and DVDs; 3) There are more competing platforms for people to rent/stream movies; and 4) There are more competing forms of entertainment.”
Well. How deep could the ocean possibly be, if the earth is flat? XD Jesus, people are the worst.
And "Life of Jesus" has a happy ending with J marrying Mary Magdalene!
That's what they all said when they built and launched the thing...however in retrospect you might want to revise your opinion
Um, yeah - a boat that big really COULD sink & did. Do you not have Google?
How old was this reviewer? Does IMdB do any type of verification of who's posting reviews.
Is this really what society needs? Reviewer verification standards? Social credit?

it didn't... these were the original q-anon organisers... they got g.w. griffith to stage this at the same studio that it is rumoured that kubrick later used to fake the moonlanding. when in fact nasa flew kubrick & his whole film crew to the moon to fake the moonlanding on the actual location. so real it was beyond fake. or so fake it was beyond real.
For starters, evidence proved there was a fire in the hull of the Titanic, of which the producer knew about before setting off. They did not succeed in putting it out, and kept it secret. It was about to burn through the hull when the iceberg hit that particular spot, causing destruction of the hull. Which then let in water, and more water, and MORE, so it sank.
Taken 3 was actually quite tragic, and arguably better than the others. But I give this review 5 stars.
This is most upsetting. First, because people only want to watch films in English (doubtlessly because they are incapable of reading subtitles); second, because they can't even tell that the film is in Korean, not Chinese! Do they even know there is a country called Korea, where people speak Korean? Have people always been so ignorant?
That is the only complaint they could find?? Or maybe they were hoping to snack the trauma away and even that was denied to them ...

How is it that so many of you are missing the SARCASM???? Most of these are jokes. I'm suprised. Usually Pandas are a little brighter than this. And some of them are really funny! I mean... if you have a sense of humor... which seems to be missing in the comments on this one. I has a confused. (<< that's a joke)
Right below this article, I have a link to another BP article: "40 Times People Missed The Joke So Bad, They Embarrassed Themselves On The Internet"... I think we can supply it with more entries...

It’s funny to read, but I bet 95% of these are fake and just made in hopes of going viral and end up in posts like this. Many are too obvious.
It is hard to believe that some of these were not made tongue in cheek.
I think 95% are joke reviews. I'm more surprised how many Pandas are taking the reviews seriously …
