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.
It doesn’t matter if your kid is in kindergarten, college, or has kids of their own. Anyone of any age can like Frozen. Students, even college age, can write a paper about Olaf, as long as the quality of the writing matches their grade level and is apropos to the focus of the class they’re writing it for. Now, the suffering grades actually are a concern, and should be looked into more deeply. There may be other contributing factors at work there.
Frozen has infiltrated all elemntary schools across America. To ths day, Halloween is an army of Elsa's, Ana's, and the occasional Olaf. People everywhere are being afflicted with this "Frozen Fever." The words, "Do you wanna.." set millions into song. A problem? LET IT GO! LET IT GOOOO, CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE!!! (Sorry to infect you.)This epedemic has been going on for 5 YEARS. It dies down a bit in 2019, but a recent outbreak has been caused by ANOTHER MOVIE!!! HELP US

This is me and my cats at that age. My dad ended up yelling at me over it.
Yeah, I know I'm late but now I'm here and want to know what grade the kid has got for it and also what the content was about. Isn't it cool to write about a snowman as a rolemodel then a princess, prince or a very masculine rendeer called Sven? Also please don't judge a book by it's title <3
I least it wasn't "why I like ofal" (misspelling offal in the process due to diminished mental capacities)
Frozen is a great children's movie about Elsa repeatedly abusing her sister.
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 …
