Declined Review (Despite it meeting the criteria)
I submitted (11JUN2024) a negative review, for the Acolyte. It was declined (12JUN2024). The only reason given was that it does not meet the criteria. I read back through it; and, it does meet the criteria. It had, also, been pending approval for about 24 hours, despite other peop

My review has been removed twice
Hi. I've written a review twice now of Firebird and it's been removed each time. I hadn't kept a copy and so the reviews were not identical but had similar themes. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4061620/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 I didn't like the film and said so. My principal objection was that most o

Problem with review-bombing
I notice that several of the series or movies I like, like Captain Marvel or Ms. Marvel, have some really nasty reviews. Many of them are posted early and appear to be intended to discourage viewership. They're full of misogyny and vitriol, and it really seems the reviewer did not watch the show at

Zealous reviewer posts political (and other) rants instead of reviewing the cartoons at hand
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but this guy has dozens of these. (And I don't automatically disagree with some good points he makes, but this isn't the place for that.) I think this qualifies as spamming the reviews, no? Please have a look:oscaralbert's Review of Lazy Jay

Declined Film Review. Why?
I have written 176 IMDb reviews and do not recall ever being declined before my recent review of the film "Hannah Arendt", which was rejected and not published. Although this film bore the name of the famous 20th century philosopher, the film was NOT a biography of Ms. Arendt but rather focused on
