18 Hilarious Amazon Reviews Of 2017's Oscar Movies

4. Hacksaw Ridge

Wahlberg Deepwater Horizon
Summit Entertainment

Nominated For: Best Picture + 5 More

Going on Amazon Reviews' precedent, you'd think that the combination of a jingoistic war film and religious subtext would be the perfect storm for 5 star reviews all over the place, but the minute you throw in Mel Gibson, you've got something of a wildcard.

In the less positive reviews there are accusations of bloody gore, unnecessary violence and mindless celebration of war: which all simultaneously misses the point quite beautifully.

And as much as that South Park/Thin Red Line mash-up is supposed to be criticism, how much do you want to see it? It sounds amazing.
