Kostas Gavras filmed a movie about the 2015 events based on a book by Yanis Varoufakis.
None could imagine that the Right-Left political war would hit imdb page of the movie one month before the movie will be released in the theatres :eek: :eek:

The user reviews (link) is unbelievable for a movie not released yet :eek:

The attack to the movie started less than a day ago by right wing trolls through twitter and fb, even emails to mass groups of fanatic far right groups :roll:

Have they all got the same notes to copy-and-paste from? You see these phrases cropping up repeatedly: "science fiction movie", "Yiani with one n".

Interesting that if you sort the reviews by review rating, you get a bunch of 1-star reviews, then one 7-star, and then nine and ten-star reviews.

This sort of thing used to go on with Amazon reviews too, especially books about "controversial" subjects.

I thought that imdb stopped comments on their site years ago for this exact reason

Actually what is interesting in this case is the "weaponized" of imdb rating to attack a movie before it is screened, from far-right groups, so people not go and watch it :roll:
The Rating statistics are even more interesting :?
