Like, "Terrific!" or "Must See!". When the review actually reads, "This movie is terrific, compared to the last piece of garbage this director put out". Or, 'compared to a root canal, this movie is a must see". OOOOFFFAAA! There ought to be a law. Actually, I thought there was one. And don't even get me started on quotes from people that I've never even heard of. Like, "four stars, this is Oscar material!" - Billy Bob Nobody, The Entertainment Times, Daily, Union, Dispatch, Online Midnight Editor. Are these people on the take or are these critics created by the studios for the express purpose of creating ad blurbs? I can’t stand when they use one or two words in an ad.
