User reviews > 👍Helpful / 👎Unhelpful
"👍Helpful / 👎Unhelpful" may suggest the original intention of the User Reviews -- to help other people determine whether they should watch a movie or not. But I don't think that's what the thumbs Up/Down are being used for anymore. For the most part, I think there's a lot of tapping on Hel

Users not able to filter TOP REVIEWS for spoilers and not warned of possible spoilers.
I started to read the TOP REVIEW for a movie titled "Wings of Desire". As I read I realized that the review contained detailed information about the movie which I would certainly regard as spoilers. And yet, unlike in the User Reviews section, there is no warning that the review may contain spoilers

Over 130 10-star Reviews of Fight Club in less than 48-hours.
Why does Fight Club suddenly have over 130 reviews between the 16th & 17th March 2024? They majority mention Grimace and/or Odysseus from fake accounts created less than 24-hours prior to posting. It looks like the last valid rating was on 7 March 2024. This has caused Fight Club to drop to #14

reviews not appearing... coronavirus workload / delays?
Is IMDB crazy-busy during the coronavirus, and i imagine other recent events over there in the US? if so, and checking reviews before they're displayed, has been delayed, then no problem - but if not, could someone check ones submitted for/from my account?

The Issue with Troll Reviews

Can’t submissions be a b

Reviews seemingly not submitted but most likely are.
I wrote a rather lengthy review for a title and after checking the status, noticed that it had not been seemingly gone through with no email confirmation or receipt on my submission page.

Film Reviews
I am increasingly frustrated at some of the reviews hosted on IMDb and allowed to remain despite being reported. I reported one such review (#221227-224122-758704), but have been overruled. This film is not a Dick Maas work, but the review begins as if it were, before suggesting it is good enoug

Reviews declined, but no idea why
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I saw some similar posts in this forum. I recently posted 3 reviews about vampire movies that were all declined and I'm not sure why. Am I missing some area on the page that tells me why? Is there an edit and resubmit button somewhere I'm not seeing? B
