If yours is the First Review of A Movie - Why oh why include spoilers!?


Are you unable to write a review without giving the movie away?

Please consider that when no one else has written a review and you write the first one, we don't have the choice to read others' reviews and there are people who prefer to watch movies without being told what will happen (just by reading your sole review) first?

It's amazing just how many times there are new movies on IMDB with only one review yet... lo and behold, it has spoilers - which means the review is a waste of space to many - who'd rather watch the movie to see what happens. A review should be about the movie - whether it's any good, and not a means to give away what happens, thus spoiling it for those who'd simply like to know, from you - the reviewer, if the movie is worth watching and why - without giving the movie's story away!

word of advice (from an imdb "vet"): play it safe...never (ever) read imdb reviews about a movie before seeing it.
