Reported reviews
As someone who contributes to IMDB frequently, I have noticed many reviews that seem either painfully short (giving that IMDB has a character limit before posting is allowed) or offer hateful tirades about the star or director of any given film or TV show. Also, often times reviews are absolutely ri
