Bring back review comments

Hello,

I never post reviews on IMDb, but I frequently read them to get a feel for what may or may not be worth watching. There was a time when I could look up a movie on IMDb that looked interesting, see what other people had to say about it, and find at least one or two reviews from people with similar tastes as myself that could give me some idea of what to expect as a viewer. 

However, in recent years, I've noticed a steep decline in the quality of reviews on IMDb, and it makes it very difficult to get a clear read on what films I might actually enjoy. To be clear, this isn't a problem with the IMDb platform itself. It's a problem with the user base. Far too many reviews on IMDb are from people who don't seem to understand what a film review is and what purpose they're supposed to serve. If someone dislikes a film, there's this widespread belief that submitting a review to IMDb is like returning a defective toaster oven to the Customer Service Department at Wal-Mart:

"This movie is broken because it made no sense and I want my money back! I'm giving it 1/10 stars because my failure to comprehend the plot is the film's problem and not mine!"

Or worse yet:

"Avoid this film at all costs! It sucks and I hated it -- for reasons that are mine to know and yours never to find out! I know a bad film when I see one, so just take my word on this! (P.s.: I also hate cilantro and you should too if you truly love America!)"

The bottom line is that writing a quality film review requires a bare minimum of self-awareness to realize two things:

1) You're writing for an audience as well as for yourself.

2) Taste is personal. Not everyone is going to like what you like and hate what you hate -- so give the reader some idea of what your tastes are so they can decide for themselves whether their tastes line up with yours.

The people who don't understand these things shouldn't just be handed a megaphone and allowed to yell into the digital abyss without expecting a critical response other than a "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down." This is why I'm suggesting that IMDb bring back the ability to comment directly on individual reviews. It may get a little messy at times, but it may also give reviewers the necessary motivation to put a little more thought into what they write before pressing that Submit button.
