Hamilton is not a movie and shouldn't be on top 250.

Hamilton is not a movie. It is a capture of a live performance, like films about rock concerts or stand-up shows. Despite the good reviews it will not be nominated for any Academy Award because, again, it is not a movie. It shouldn't be on top 250 alongside real movies like The Godfather or Ci

IMDb needs to put out guidelines for ratings.

Review Deleted - Why?

#210413-202156-695504 I could guess what the supposed reason for deletion here is, if indeed any IMDb staff person actually read it, but it'd be nonsense, and I'd rather Michelle or someone actually read it and could cite any violation. Thanks. I'm tired of these unaccountable review rejections,
