23 of the most ridiculous movie reviews you will ever read

Professional movie criticism is great and everything (Rotten Tomatoes has saved us from dropping notes on a stinker at the cinema more times than we can count) but sometimes we just don't have the energy for complex analysis of themes, narrative techniques and cinematography.

That's where film buff Joe Grabinski's brilliant Amazon Movie Reviews Twitter account comes in. Started two years ago this month, Grabinski's page compiles the most hilariously bad reviews - good and bad - in one long feed, and it will force you to look at your favourite movies in a whole new light. Take Stanley Kubrick's spine-chilling adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining. By all accounts the film is a timeless masterpiece, but your average Amazon Movie Reviews critic is having none of it. A one-star verdict documented on the page dismissed the horror classic because of the unlikelihood that a hotel of that size would close for the winter season, given the popularity of skiing at that time if the year. Titanic, which famously tells the true story of the RMS Titanic sinking, was rubbished on Amazon Movie Reviews because 'this could never happen'. You get the picture. Some are furious, some misguided, some glowing and quite a few miss the point so spectacularly that they simply have to be a joke. Either way it's very entertaining. Here are some of our favourite reviews that have appeared recently on the page. Prepare yourselves.
