Ever wonder how some people — who you just know are stupid — respond to an intelligent work of art? Well, these days they respond online.
Gut-bustingly funny “one-star” Amazon reviews collected at The Guardian include:
Alien
“What do people see in this film? I am not one for horror films, though I do like this alien stuff. Nothing happens in the film. Nothing. We spent most of the time waiting and waiting for something to happen. This movie could have been cut to half an hour, easy.”2001: A Space Odyssey
“This is easily the worst movie of all time. It’s a bunch of spaceships and special effects, but there’s NO coherent plot.”The Shawshank Redemption
“The escape through the sewer is an obvious symbol for anal sex”This Is Spinal Tap
“If you’re going to make such an excellent documentary, why make it about about a band that nobody has ever heard of?”
They also point to a collection of one-star reviews posted at the blog Cynical-C.

That Spinal Tap one kills me! This is the problem with the internet … people take things at face value, and there’s no more verification of facts.
