Where are all the giants?
Animal Farm by George Orwell
This book is terrible. I mean, I know it was written like ages ago when movies were all about giants, ants and stuff, but none of the animals on this farm were even radioactive or giant or anything, so who cares?
Maskoolio
Although we're on the critics' side here, we do agree that the story would have been a littleenhanced by a radioactive pig or two.
It's not even incolour!
Schindlers List
Ive got a 42-inch LCD TV with Blu-ray, and its the business. I dont expect to have to watch black-and-white films on it. Save up and buy a colour camera, Mr Spielberg, you moron! Then perhaps people will watch your stupid films.

So we're going to assume you didn't get to the bit with the red coat?
A misleading title
Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Bandby The Beatles
The title is very misleading. I thought I was buying an album called Beatles by a brass band named Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, only to learn when I got home and played it that it was the opposite.
Alf Tupper
You should try playing it backwards Alf, it's a whole new record!
Low expectations

Stupid whale
Free Willy
"Went in to too much trouble to save the whale. The kid did. They should of killed the whale and ate it."

Perhaps you're right, "Eat Willy" does have aring to it...

"Dont like tom hanks"
Pen Name
Oh, come on now, poor Tom.
Ewwww
Emma by Jane Austen
"I hate it. So boring. I fell asleep at the first page. its great if youre into that old 1800s kind of speech."
Pen Name
Not content with insulting Tom Hanks, Pen Name has now moved onto Jane Austen. In another century someone will be falling asleep at this very sentence; unless they're into that old 2000s kind of speech.
Hate it
Wizard of Oz
"There's something about people breaking out into song and dance for every insogniffogant thing that really bugs me."
Bob Marley
The real Bob Marley might have something to say about this!
Mega WTF!
Rumoursby Fleetwood Mac
"I listened to this album, and my eardrums popped. Stevie Nicks' vocals are so high, he sounds like a girl. Seriously, sing like a man, like Chad Kroeger from Nickelback."
Flaming Mudkipon
That Stevie Nicks, he's so great. Wait, what do you mean she's a woman? But her name's Steve?! Hang on, Chad Kroeger's definitely a bloke right?
Didn't keep my interest
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
"Parts of the book were discussing political views nothing to do with Anna. It appeared their were many main characters not only Anna."
Judy
Right, let's do this Judy. Let's rewrite Anna Karenina, but make it just about her. No other characters. No broader context. No fancy frocks. Just her, and maybe some cats.
Please smile Joni, it's only love
Blue by Joni Mitchell
"Joni sounds oh so sad and depressed on this album, like she lost her best friend. I want to paint her a happy face, and remind her there is so much more to life than unrequited love. Please Joni, keep your chin up, and smile, if only for a little while. Damn those blues away!!!!!!!!!!!."
Anon
But why stop at Joni Mitchell? I'll supply the paintbrushes, we're gonna paint the world happy!
This books should be banned for 100 years in SOLITARY!!!
One Hundred Years of Solitudeby Gabriel Garcia Marquez
"This book won the NOBEL Prize? I just can't help it, I need to write another review. This book should be placed in Solitary Confinement for 100 years. This is to save both time and trees used in printing of this book."
Gis Phil
Just when you thought it couldn't get any more solitary.
