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.

More info: Twitter

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.”

I actually saw this movie and it wasn't bad. They actually used real wolves in this one; not computerized.

Okay, you confused the movie's title, but why give it a 1-star review???

It's not really fair for people to give poor ratings to movies just because they made a mistake and chose the wrong film.

This reminds me of when I worked customer service for a telecom company. A little old lady called to complain about her PPV purchase because of the content of the movie she rented for her grandchildren. The movie in question was Ted.

As a Disney animation fan and horror movies fan, I would absolutely watch this.

It was a realistic movie because I know someone it happened to. They were able to get off the lift however and vehemently complain......but it is in fact a $#!++^ movie.

The picture should have provided at least a faint clue. And it's not the "WRONG FILM." The viewer is clearly the wrong person to watch it.

Ya might want to make sure you check the movie description before watching it! And certainly before letting kids watch it!

People are so ....hmm.... Can't you accept that there are more than 1 movie with the same title? Why 1 star? Don't rate it at all if it is not what you were looking for. It was your mistake! Look at the cover/picture of the movie. Should the Amazon change the name to "Frozen. No, not that one"

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?

He also gave 1 Star for Terminator for the same reason. Arnie never said please or thank-you. Rude.

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 ...
