Such long reviews?

Why do my reviews have to be so long. I see short reviews all the time and IMDb always declines my reviews for being too to short why is this? I have such a hard time writing lengthy reviews.

Then increase in the lower limit on the quantity of letters, numbers, punctuation and non-redundant spaces needed to publish a review was implemented for the purpose of at least making an attempt to improve the overall quality of new reviews posted going forward. The minimum quantity isn't really what constitutes a long passage, but there may indeed exists contexts where no more than a single sentence is really needed for somebody to outline what he or she considers to be the pros and cons of the content of a movie that has an unusually short running time. I was thinking about coming up with a sort of Q&A tool that could serve as a guide to the process of constructing a meaningful review, but in theory, something like that can be found by using a preferred Web search engine. Another idea could involve some sort of stock template that could be adapted into a unique body of text. Meeting the requirement can be hard, but is it ever truly impossible. The only time it would be impossible is when somebody tries to review a movie that he or she hasn't even actually observed and about which nobody else has published any information.
