User review guidelines

Not acceptable:

• the left want to rewrite history in the way they deem it acceptable and true (well, in their eyes). And, I'll be surprised if this review is allowed to be posted. These are the same people that do not want to be criticized or spoken against, and if you do, then you're a racist, sexist, bigot, hater, and all the other buzz words one can think of (references our posting guidelines)
• The positive reviews below have 200 downvotes this morning alone and it hasn't even came out yet. Not until later today (references other reviews and mentions facts that are subject to change)
• This comment is in response to the review by JoePoopyPants, who wrongly claims the film is a metaphor for depression (references other review/user
• I can't believe this movie is rated 8.9 when at best it deserves a 5 (references user rating, which is also subject to change

Acceptable:

• While most reactions to the film have been negative, I feel like it is being unfairly judged by most critics (only references general reactions to the film, not specific reviews or users)

Not acceptable:

• The director is a pervert who has been known to molest kids (potentially defamatory)
• If I ever met the screenwriter of this trash, I will kick his ass (threatening)
• Anyone who likes this film should is an imbecile who should have their head checked (inflammatory general statement against a whole category of users)
• Only racists and homophobes can enjoy this crap (Inflammatory statement)
• Don’t listen to the negative reviews left by racist (Inflammatory statement)

Acceptable:

• This is the worst example of commercial dreck Hollywood ever committed to film (A bit hyperbolic but a valid criticism)

Not acceptable:

• You must be F***ing crazy to want to watch this more than once (use of profanity, even though obscured by asterisks)
• The director of the film is a blabbering idiot (personal attack against an individual)
• I wish the entire cast of the film died in a plane crash (personal attack)
• Joe Smith is a fat slob who must have been high on crack when he filmed this (personal attack)

Acceptable:

• The basic premise of the story is idiotic (idiotic is acceptable as a generic criticism and not an obscenity)
• Joe Smith’s cinematography is bland and unimaginative (acceptable criticism)

Not acceptable:

• This is another shameless attempt to push the homosexual agenda on viewers (Expression of intolerance towards a protected group)
• The film would have been better if it weren't for its predominantly Asian cast (Negative sentiment towards a protected group)
• This documentary was endorsed by BLM leaders, which tells you all you need to know about its quality and honesty (Negative expression about a protected group)
• And, at the risk of being branded as 'transphobic' - the worst of all is [named actor]. Good grief but this person cannot act, but why bother when the writers have made the character of Ian just be the 'actor'? Chewing the scenery in every scene and delivering lines like it's the first time they've ever seen them. (Inflammatory)

Acceptable:

• This is a beautiful and heart warming film about a teenage girl in a deaf family. I am very happy that someone made a film about the challenges of a marginalized and forgotten group (reference to protected group is positive, not derogatory)
• This show raises important questions on the treatment of people of color in modern society (reference to protected group is positive, not derogatory)

Not acceptable:

• [Named actor] is a pint-sized nutjob who believes in aliens and should be sent to an insane asylum (Ad-hominem attack against an individual)

Acceptable:

• I watched the first two episodes and, while it may not be exactly pure Tolkien (neither was Peter Jackson's films), I throughly loved the show. Kudos to Amazon for bringing Tolkien back to the big screen! (Reference to Amazon is not an insult)
• Unfortunately PJ wasn't able to capture the same magic with the hobbit. And I feel Amazon will continue to stomp Tolkiens work into the ground (Reference to Amazon is a criticism but not an insult)
• [Named actor]’s acting is worthy of an Oscar. I truly believed he was a Vietnam vet (Neutral or positive reference to a celebrity)
• [Named actor] was completely terrible in this role and it made me cringe (Valid criticism against the performance, not the individual)
• Did everyone in this show go to the Brian Blessed School of acting? The thing with Brian Blessed is that there's only one of them and he's used judiciously (Valid Criticism against the acting)
• The lead actor is possible the worst thing about this whole production. He has the skill of [named actor] when it comes to acting. Just awful nonsense (Valid Criticism against the acting)

Not acceptable:

• I'm shocked at the audacity of the filmmakers to turn such a blind eye in the name of political wokeness. I'm not expecting total historical accuracy from Hollywood, but this has to be THE most blind to history I've ever seen. Anyone with half a brain cell can do the quick research and find how glaringly off this movie is (Reference to wokeness)
• Nothing in this movie ever actually happened. This is the best, most bald-faced attempt at race-hustling audiences into believing the general lie that European men are responsible for all of the ills of modern society.

Not acceptable:

• That one Superhero TV show that was hijacked by BLM to "save face" Inappropriate and immoral. Worst choice in changing from a white hero to a black hero mid-show. (Negative reference to race in casting)
• I don't mind the ethnic diversity as long as the actors do a good enough job (Indicates issues with diverse casting)
• Also there has been backlash around people of color being casted for roles. The issue isn't that people of color have been casted, it's that some of the roles aren't believable. (negative connotation around casting, saying casting for diversity is controversial)
• The controversial casting, skin color is not according to the canon, which many were afraid to see in the series, did not spoil the series, but added some zest. (negative connotation around casting, saying casting for diversity is controversial)

Not acceptable:

• The Dahomey were terrible people. They killed parents and made children watch. We know all this from an account of a black American slave, Cujo Lewis, who was enslaved by the Dahomey and sold in America. He talked about how they marched the children to the slave hold while holding the severed heads of their parents. Thats who the Dahomey were. When slavery was ended, they did not take the news well. The French were NOT trying to take their territory (Discusses only facts/subject matter rather than how the film deals with it)
• The film is about the fake Covid epidemic, which is an invention of the government to keep the population under control and to force them to receive a poisonous vaccine (Speculation about real life events or topics)
• Set against the backdrop of the 2020 presidential election, which was stolen by Joe Biden, the film is a biting satire of the American political system (Personal (and inflammatory) opinions about real life events)

Acceptable:

• The story takes place during the Covid lockdowns, and shows how the protagonist managed to find love despite the pandemic (Simply mentions real life event in the context of the review
