How are so many people getting round the minimum word count for reviews?

@ACT_1​ I haven't memorised any as it happens so often, but there are several on this title:  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13234384/reviews/

@Vande​ The short ones were all submitted while the limit was 50 characters during the dates referenced in the posts above by @ACT_1 

Hope this helps. 

@Col_Needham​ ah okay, so these brief remarks are back to not being allowed again now then?  That's good, otherwise I was just going to start adding a short sentence to the around 50 shows I watch a week, if that's what's deemed acceptable.

Reviews should only ever be written by people who have something worthwhile to say about something, as they are there to help other decide.  "Dis is crapp, urge u notta wotch it" is not that.  For me the example I gave above is no more useful than that.  Not everybody can make a sandwich or boil an egg, but the entire world's population is capable of writing a "review".

Hello Vande, 

Correct, this kind of reviews are no longer allowed. The minimum length for reviews is 600 characters to ensure the most value to our users.

You can take a look at our User Reviews guidelines for more details.

@Vande​ "so these brief remarks are back to not being allowed again now then?"

Well, as has been stated by IMDb, the brief remarks that are already live, actually are still allowed (even though they go against the guide), so one could say that brief remarks are allowed as well as not allowed because they, apparently, both ensure a lot of value for the customers of IMDb.

Comical acting and an abysmal storyline.

Terrible acting, unremarkable characters 
and a storyline that has as much grip 
as a well varnished laminate floor. 
Channel 5's The Intruder is truly unwatchable television.

I can't improve on the other reviws, just add my weight to them.
If you've seen "The Drowning", well, it's as bad as that.

Everyone I speak to avoids documentaries like this.
They want to watch feel-good moviess.
For me this documentary and the 20 days in Mariupol documentary
are statutory watching as a mark of respect 
to the brave men and women losing their lives on the front line.
For once the brutality of war is not airbrushed 
and dead soldiers smudged out. 
Of 99 soldiers in this brigade defending 
500metres of the 1500km western front 66 
suffered serious injury and 10 were killed in action.
We see people being killed, 
soldiers being shot at point blank range 
and frozen dead bodies lying everywhere. 
This is a nightmare for the soldiers 
knowing they could be killed at any second.
I would not be able to cope with the stress,
but these soldiers have no choice.
It is amazing to see how humans adapt 
and make the best out of any situation.
It is a war of attrition. 
Russia has the numbers and the firepower.
Ukraine has to fight with teamwork.
