Removing the Previews from the Reviews
I look forward to the external Reviews, but what is frustrating beyond belief are all the Previews trying to masquerade as an actual Review of the entire film project. Way back when I would find a bunch for a film of television release and submit for their removal, only to discover another production with dozens more. It seems that for every one Review, there are 1000 Previews, so here's my questions:
Is there any good process to filter and eliminate these Previews?
Can IMDB track the sources submitting multiple Previews and
'hobble' the ability for these sources to submit?
*Worthy to note that all sources I have submitted for removal of Previews
have on occasion submitted actual Reviews.
Have a great Thanksgiving

Hi PurpleCrayon2014 -
Can you post some recently observed "Preview review" examples, including some of the IMDb title pages and the External Review source links you are seeing?

Out of curiosity, I brought up the following:
The Matrix Resurrections
Release Date: December 22, 2021
Already has 4 Reviews:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10838180/externalreviews
The first listing, ageratingjuju [Henna], delivers the following:
https://www.ageratingjuju.com/news/the-matrix-resurrections-cast-wiki/
This is nothing more than the trailers and other IMDB content put together and claiming to be a Review of the film....which hasn't released yet. The remaining 3 listings are presented in a similar fashion. The remaining examples below will also follow the same.
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Release Date: December 17, 2021
Already has 2 Reviews:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10872600/externalreviews
The King's Man
Release Date: December 22, 2021
Already has 3 Reviews:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6856242/externalreviews
Finding these examples for you was comically easy, and it doesn't take much more effort to find 1000s of others for films that have actually been released. The three I listed above are actually a huge embarrassment to IMDB and the Review system and I do hope they are removed quickly, as some of these have been posted since last year.

Hi PurpleCrayon2014 -
There is an existing mass cleanup of bad External Review links being tracked on this community thread. Our tech team is working through these now.
I can see that the review you reported for "The Matrix Resurrections" has since been removed. If you are still seeing bad reviews on "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "The King's Man", let us know the exact details (ie. website name/reviewer name) and we can take a further look.
Cheers!
