It can range from Video Games, TV Shows/Anime, Movies, Restaurants, or other types of Industries that have had reviews done on them.

Basically what is the dumbest review that you've ever seen? To the point where you thought that there was something wrong with the individual that made it? Not because it's a differing opinion but because the review is either ridiculously unfair, or the reviewer to be polite about it, might not have a lot going on upstairs? And I get the irony of myself insulting other people's intelligence.

For me it's between seven reviews and I can't separate them because they're all baffling for different reasons.

In no particular order:

1. That professional Movie critic that tried to compare Sonic's second Movie to LOTR, mainly how the Chaos Emerald story is carbon copying the ring plot from LOTR, and trust me to anyone that's not familiar with either series, this review is bull**** from this critic. For starters LOTR is a Medieval Fantasy series with a more dark tone in comparison to either Sonic Movie, plus the ring from LOTR definitely operates in a much more sinister way on the characters mental psyche than the Chaos Emerald ever does in either Sonic Movie. I can't believe that I have to say that tbh, especially given that a Movie critic should be a bit more open minded and judging different Movies on different criterias, not comparing a modern Earth-based Kids borderline Superhero Fantasy Series with a Medieval High Fantasy series that's aiming for a slightly more mature audience in comparison to Sonic.

2. A TV Show critic that attacked a Sci-Fi Show called Killjoys for being a Sci-Fi Show, I kid you not. I honestly don't even know where to begin so I'll just leave it at that, rather than ranting again about another terrible review

3. Again another TV critic who bashed The Witcher TV Series in it's first Season despite only watching two episodes. Now I'm not one of them that thinks that you have to watch the entire Season to form an opinion, but when you're not even watching the Show in a way that makes sense then there's gonna be a huge problem. Basically the guy watched the first episode and the finale and then said that the Show was ****. There are definitely problems with the Show imo, but not as much as what's wrong with this reviewer imo.

4. For me this was probably more of a community issue than an individual review for this TV Show, but the fact that The Rings Of Power got heavily attacked before the Show even debuted makes me skeptical of how "open-minded" were people really being towards the Show. Also whenever I personally would try to find out why some people had issues with the Show a lot of it was that it was "woke" and when you would try to find out why the Show was anymore woke than 95% of today's output, they'd show a picture of Lenny Henry's character in the programme. Now don't me wrong I know that there were genuine viewers who had issues with other aspects of the Show (I've debated with those people on here about the Show) and as their opinions are based on attributes that the Show has and are well explained to me, I can personally respect that opinion. However people on Twitter and YouTube just showing me a picture of Lenny Henry to describe how woke the Show is, is imo not cool and you're showing your hand when you do things like that.

5. A Video Game critic from IGN USA going around attacking Football Manager 2009 for not being like FIFA. For anyone that follows Sports Video Games it's kind of obvious why this review is insulting and unfair not just to the fans of the franchise/the wider gaming community, but to the division at Sega who are having a Game that they presumably worked really hard on get ripped apart not because of anything that the Game is doing wrong, but because it's not like another series that it's not even trying to be in the first place. Reviews like this make me mad, because a lot of people do read IGN's reviews and what they're saying in those reviews will swing a section of the Gaming community either way if they're giving out a positive or negative review of a Game, that's why in particular when leaving a negative review on any Video Game the reviewer needs to be well informed about the franchise, what that particular installment was going for, and then ultimately decide if it's for you or not, but never bash it for not being like a totally different series that the only thing that they have in common with each other is that they're about Football.

Here's the video that covers this terrible review of Football Manager 2009

Youtube video

I think that his coverage of the review begins at the 1:07 mark of the video for anyone that's interested.

6. I remember Amy Jade telling some of us on here a few years ago (sad that I still remember this conversation I know) that she read a review from a woman on a Food review site that left a bad review on a Takeaway joint because the driver's Car was dirty. Not that the food was unhygenic to eat, or that it tasted horrible, or the order was wrong, but because the driver leaves a mess in his Car. Now don't get me wrong I don't want to encourage drivers to have messy Cars, but it's not fair to attack the Takeaway for the fact that one of their driver's leaves one too many Chocolate Wrappers in his Car.

7. This one happened today and tbh inspired me to open this thread because it's so brain dead what was actually said that I'm not even gonna be polite about this one (and yes I think that I've found my winner for worst review) basically I was checking YouTube videos out where they were listing the "best modern (insert sub-genre) JRPG's" and on one of them Persona 5 and Dragon Quest XI were on the list as to be expected. However I went down into the YouTube comments section for the video in question, and I caught the most "wtf! did I just read" conversations that I think that I will ever read on the Internet. Basically it starts with the one user complaining about Persona 5 being boring because of the High School elements which in fairness was actually quite harmless on it's own, it's when it gets paired up with one of the users that quoted them where issues arise for me, basically the reply was along the lines of "give them both a chance as they take a few hours to get good, I quit Dragon Quest XI five times before digging deeper and start enjoying the Game, they're both very content heavy though." Now don't get me wrong I am not dictating to people that they need to like these two Games , or that you can't have personal flaws with the Games as that's each to their own. However why is a Game that requires you to actually have to follow a plot whilst also having to play a Video Game, whilst also having more things to do (which is actually a genre trope, therefore harsh criticism) a bad thing? It's comments like this why the entertainment industry is so horribly basic nowadays, it's not because people are being woke, it's because people struggle to follow anything that's beyond the writing of Paw Patrol's age group, and tbh I'm insulting Paw Patrol considering it actually has a cast of characters and is educational for it's target audience. Like I swear unless you're running around some grass in an Open World setting where you fight beasts or machines then these people don't want to know, forget actual level design and a decent story. But I guess I've learned that having a lot of content/adding depth to your Game is a bad thing these days.

Apologies for the rant, I feel like I've got it all off my chest.

As I've said already I honestly have no issue with people having a different opinion to my own, I do take issue with it though if I feel like they're unfair for some reason.

But anyway what's the reviews that are terrible in your opinion? Is there any that can beat these unique opinions?
