Check out the string of 1-Star reviews posted for the Complete Arkadin.

What a lame collection of complete assholes.

Looks like just about everyone who read them agrees with you (us). Besides, the raves are so glowing, it's obvious no one's paying them any attention. What I can't figure is why Amazon even posted them. They certainly don't meet the standards of intelligent criticism -- or of criticism period.

But do these reviews meet the standards of 'intelligent criticism'?

Well, maybe if you're 14 (or haven't grown past it mentally!) ???

Albeit an easy target, I thought most of these "reviews" were fairly witty, way above the usual attempts at satire found on Amazon.
