Reviews that Aren't Reviews
Anyone else get cheesed about this or is it just me? People who post reviews about movies that haven't been released yet. I understand that most films are pre-screened but there are quite often reviews that say things like "I haven't seen this film yet, but the trailer looks great." or my favorite " I read the book and they'd better not screw this one up."
An example - there's a review up for Speed Racer that goes like this "I saw the trailer for this movie in the theatre when I went with some friends and saw Alvin and the Chipmunks. It looked really good. Can't wait for it to come out!"
I know there's an option to flag the review as "not a review" but seems to never work. I assume that it takes more than one person flagging to remove it, but anyone know just how many it takes to remove it?
Hey Folks, If you haven't joined the "Reviews that Aren't Reviews" group, you may want to check out what a great job Wowee is doing in getting an organized front for attacking these non-reviews.
I invite you to join the group and post your links to non-reviews in there. It's a one-stop-shop with links to all the Netflix non-reviews, plus we can see that our actions are actually helping get those non-reviews removed.

Does anyone here know the name of the song playing at the end of the video? It wasn't listed in the credits...

There are currently eleven New Moon "reviews."
Keep clicking the NEXT button even if there's only one review per page...

You just responded to a post about Night of Demons. Did you think you were talking about New Moon?

Oh. Sorry about that. I must have clicked the wrong reply accidentally. I was talking about the New Moon tho.

Only 45 non-reviews for New Moon? That's actually not very many considering all the fangirls running around.

Here's a repeat offender we've tried to discourge for the last year and a half:
JH 838139
Please flag for language AND not a review . . . not because he uses obscene language but because, for the most part, he lifts phrases from professional reviews and other posts, mashes them through an online translator, and then posts them as if they are reviews. The guy's got 852 reviews to his "credit," most of them nonsense.
I really don't understand why Netflix has not rescinded his right to post a review.
