    This is a thing I like to do from time to time, I like to go on amazon and look up a game or something that I really enjoy and go to the 1 star reviews, they're all pretty funny, for instance, this review of Metal Gear Solid 3.

    Dear Hidio Kojima,

    Hideo Kojima can you PLEASE stop putting sexual stuff in Metal Gear Solid!!!!!! We all hated naked Raiden in MGS 2:SOL, most of you liked cambells niece whatever her name is in her underwear in MGS:TTS, and now Eva's Bra is sticking out (most of you will love it I bet). I am 12 years old, I play Socom 1 and 2, and I want to get into Metal Gear Solid, so Hideo Kojima can you please take out all the sexual stuff in MGS. Thanks.

    Personally I loved naked Raiden. Post some seriously bad reviews if you can find them, I'd love to read some more. =p

    I’ll get the bad news out of the way first: Gone Girl is NOT as good as Jurassic Park. It’s still pretty good, though? Definitely go see it; I just don’t want you to walk in the theater like, “This is gonna be better than Jurassic Park” cause it isn’t.

    Much like Jurassic Park, Gone Girl is based on a book. Sadly, this is where the similarities between the films stop entirely. David Fincher’s Gone Girl is a movie about Ben Affleck (a human) and his missing, possibly dead wife (also a human — there’s actually ONLY humans in this). She disappears one day and, as an audience member, you’re like, “Well, where is she? Did a dinosaur take her?” I don’t wanna give away too much of the plot but, no. Again, dinosaurs actually aren’t in this movie at all. Possibly there’s a deleted scene with one but it definitely didn’t make the final cut. So the mystery (aside from “Um, what the hell?!”) is who took Gone Girl? She basically leaves without a trace except for some blood in the kitchen. So this is when you’re like, “Ohhhh OK they’re gonna clone her and make an amusement park…” Wrong again! This is a movie that definitely keeps you guessing.

    So anyways Ben Affleck starts working with the police and slowly you begin to feel like maybe there’s something he’s not telling us. Is this guy an Alan Grant or is he a Dennis Nedry? Maybe he really knows where she is after all? Around this point in the movie you’ll whisper to the person next to you, “Oooohhh … I bet she’s stuck in some amber…” And for the next two hours you’ll be so positive you’re correct you almost just leave the theater cause you’ve already solved the case. But that’s where the screenwriter gets you!! As an interesting (but not entirely successful) artistic choice, there’s no cloning to make amusement parks at all. In fact, DNA is barely even mentioned in the whole film. In this case DNA just stands for “Dinosaurs Not Around.”

    Around hour two is when you start to get confused. “We’re 120 minutes into the film and they haven’t even reached the island yet…” BUT THAT’S CAUSE THERE IS NO ISLAND. Maybe it was a budgetary thing? Whatever the reason, the entire fucking movie takes place in America. And, I’m sorry, but it’s just tough to focus knowing this movie was made in 2014, over two decades after we got the technology to put dinosaurs in films. I don’t know if it was out of laziness or maybe he had a death in the family or what, but director David Fincher didn’t take advantage of this technology at all. Like remember in Jurassic Park where they lowered the cow into the velocipator’s cage and he gets like fucking DESTROYED?! That scene is the shit but Fincher has no interest in putting something like that in his film. If this was Steven Spielberg’s Gone Girl, it would have ended with Ben Affleck and Gone Girl riding a triceratops off into the sunset. I guess he was too busy.

    So anyways blah blah blah eventually you find out what did / didn’t happen to this chick. And credit where credit’s due — it’s a pretty good ending. So you’re like “Alright, whatever. This movie was fine. I’m definitely not mad I’m just disappointed.” And against your better judgment you stick around till after the credits to see if maybe there’s a bonus scene where Ben Affleck, as Batman, fights a T. Rex but there isn’t. And then you wait another 20 minutes while the ushers clean up the popcorn you threw out of frustration and think, “Maybe it’s still coming and we just really have to work for it.” But it doesn’t. The movie just starts over again.

    On a scale of 1–10, I give this movie a … I don’t know … a 5? Go check it out but remember Gone Girl is definitely no “Clever Girl.” (5/10)

    Friends tell me I have the perfect voice for reading this XD

    I know this thread is old but it's a really cool idea.

    Here's a one-star review for 1984: "Let me start by saying that 1984 is my favorite book of all time. I want to be buried with this book...but this version leaves something to be desired. I recently purchased the Signet Classic paperback version, which is one of those taller (7 1/2" X 4 1/4") paperbacks that started appearing in recent years. I started reading it and noticed there was something subtly different about it. It turns out that my version has been altered. Words that originally had an English (British) spelling in the original, have now been Americanized. Just on the first page, coloured has been changed to colored; moustache to mustache and metre to meter. Now, to some people this may seem like a small thing. To me though, this is aggravating...possibly disturbing. Did the American publishers think that Americans aren't smart enough to read it with the English spelling of some words? The odd thing is that while they altered the British spelling, they left in words that are typically British like: flat (apartment) and lift (elevator)...and again these are just on the first page. To me this is akin to a British film that gets distributed in the US, then the US film distributor decides that they need to overdub a British actor's voice with an American's because they're worried your average Americans wouldn't understand the film. I have found out that there is a Penguin version offered that is the original un-dumbed down version. It's located here: https://www.amazon.com/Nineteen-Eighty-Four-Penguin-Modern-Classics/dp/014118776X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8"

    So to this guy, the book is only his favorite 'cause it's got British English. Else it sucks. So basically here's the logic: 1/5 for the book itself but add 4 points for the use of British English (I know that's not what he was trying to say but he did basically say that. The only reason I looked into the Amazon reviews was 'cause I needed to see others share my frustration (I had to read the book for class and got so bored) which I regretted 'cause most of the other negative reviews were about some little passage being cut out. Therefore they hate something they otherwise like. Is it 5 or 1 for some people?

    First of all the game is PG18 (at least mgsv, didnt check others) means u shouldnt play it in theory :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    Second I totally agree, its not even reasonable nudity, Quiet in mgsv just keep doing stuff which are obviously overly sexualized, and im not even talking about the bewbs-mechanics.
    But I guess the target audience likes it and they are the ones who buying the games in bulks so it wont change :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
