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.
This is me and my cats at that age. My dad ended up yelling at me over it.
But please watch the videos on Kevin James YouTube channel!!! They're epic!
Were you bonded at the time? Tied to the bedposts? Wheelchaired? How about...standing up and leaving the room?
sorry - these reviews just confirm my views of the stupidity and ignorance of the bulk of the population of the USA! Never was great - never could be, with people like these!
Trying going to see “Bad grandpa” with your date at a theater and him being the one who laughs obnoxiously louder than everyone else.
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.

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)
I know! *sigh*
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...
Right??? I kept reading just to see the ridiculous panda comments!!!
Is this a true rating for the movies? Hopefully not, some of the one-star movies are actually pretty good.
I know what you mean and a few are quite clearly sarcasm, but you're way too optimistic, I'm afraid. Most of these are real.
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 …
Agreed! They're funny trolls (unlike the rude trolls of BP).
I agree. I felt the urge to "Whoosh" a bunch of these, 2 Pandas in particular. The amount of times that they didn't get the joke.... or maybe they just thought they were being funny and failed miserably.
I think the ones with the little kids going to see sausage party and Deadpool (among others) in a theatre were fake. Most places enforce no kids under 16 in any rated R movie.
