Quote:there are some interesting viewer comments at IMDb.
i'd never really noticed that section of the site before.
i shudder to imagine how many comments there must be for a blockbuster.
is it unlimited comments or do they stop accepting them at some point?
I'm pretty sure the comments are unlimited. It does become a little ridiculous with some movies. There are 2936 comments for The Matrix right now. That's for the first movie only. Add 2605 for Matrix Reloaded and 1702 for Matrix Revolutions.
But it doesn't end there! If you scroll down to the bottom of the main page of any movie, you'll see a section called "Message Boards" where it says "Discuss this movie with other IMDb users" or something like that.
The IMDb database - which is HUGE to begin with - actually has an individual message board linked to each and every one of the thousands of movies, tv shows, actors, directors and everything else covered in the database.
So if after reading the total 7243 user comments for the films in the Matrix trilogy you're still not quite sure if you want to see them, you can go check out the message board for The Matrix Revolutions, where you will find
181 pages of arguments and fighting between fanboys and anti-fanboys, all on the subject of The Matrix Revolutions. With 25 threads per page, that means about 4500 threads. I'm not sure how many replies each thread gets, on average. Many of them have less than 10 but others have more than 50, and the thread "Persephane Vs Her boobs" had 169 when I checked and seemed to be still very active so I'm guessing there's only going to be more!!
Of course, not all movies generate as much discussion as the Matrix. But that gives you an idea of just how absolutely massive the whole IMDb can be! I think most people just navigate the surface of the database, without realizing that there are all these other layers of stuff underneath.
