15 Hilarious Amazon Reviews Of 2014 Movies
Leave it to the weirdos to produce some of the best (and strangest) reviews of last year.
Sometimes sharing your opinion of a film with your nearest and dearest isn't enough: sometimes the feelings the film inspires are either so irresistible or so provocative that they simply must be shared on a wider scale. Thank God for social media and the good old fashioned medium of online reviews: allowing movie goers who might be otherwise crippled with rage or incapacitated by shuddering joy to spread their experiences like wildfire.
Inevitably, the opportunity to post largely unedited reviews on sites like Amazon immediately after viewing has given birth to a stunningly involving culture of angry, confused and baffling movie reviewers sharing their "appreciation" of the films they've just seen. And in entertaining defiance of the traditional pillars of criticism - like being able to write, or having actually seen the film in question - they basically write what they want without fear of reprieve, with hilarious results.
In homage to those intrepid reviewers, let's look back at some of the biggest films of 2014 and some of the truly stunning responses they elicited from Amazon's army of impressively odd reviewers...
