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.”
Taken 3 was actually quite tragic, and arguably better than the others. But I give this review 5 stars.
No, I’M done because I was about to comment this.

Until you ask fans why it had to involve so much rape, and their response is always 'that's just how that time period was'. Except this is 100% fiction, that time isn't real, and there was zero reason for the gratuitous rape.
Except since it is 100% fiction and the creator controls the rules, it can have many reasons to have it.

Everyone knows, that dragons weren't even invented til the Renaissance. Good point.
"...does not reflect the history of that time at all." ??? Um...wtf?
I tried to describe the Netflix series The Last Kingdom, based on Bernard Cornwell's novels, to a friend of mine. He said "oh, it's just like Game of Thrones!" I said "yeah, except this is real history, with real events and real people, as related through the eyes of a fictional character. GOT us fantasy."
It perfectly reflects the history of a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
This reminds me of someone complaining about Galavant - “I’m not sure which King Richard this is supposed to be, but this plot isn’t accurate to any of them”. Bruh it’s fiction.
Um, it's a FANTASY saga. Do you honestly think there's a land called "Westeros"? You're a complete & utter moron.
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 …
