AMAZON REVIEWS ARE a very useful way of deciding if a product is worth buying or not. They are also a wonderful source of entertainment when you’re supposed to be working or studying.

So we decided to trawl through some of the reviews on Irish films and see what madness we could unearth.
Here are some of the best or oddest depending on which way you look at it.
In Bruges (2008)
Martin McDonagh’s In Bruges average on Amazon is 4.5/5 but some people weren’t happy with the amount of swear words. Or the fact that it didn’t bring back nice memories of their trip there..

16 of the oddest Amazon reviews of Irish films
AMAZON REVIEWS ARE a very useful way of deciding if a product is worth buying or not. They are also a wonderful source of entertainment when you’re supposed to be working or studying.
So we decided to trawl through some of the reviews on Irish films and see what madness we could unearth.

In Bruges (2008)
Martin McDonagh’s In Bruges average on Amazon is 4.5/5 but some people weren’t happy with the amount of swear words. Or the fact that it didn’t bring back nice memories of their trip there..
The violence seemed to put some people off too although this person took it a little far..
One person seemed to just want to take a pop at Colin Farrell.
And some people were just reviewing for the hell of it.
Michael Collins (1996)
Any Irish person will tell you that the only bad thing about Michael Collins is Julia Robert’s accent. Well other people have found flaws.
This lovely person has a go at national treasure Liam Neeson in the oddest way.
This person didn’t seem to be aware of anything to do with the history behind the movie.
This person didn’t think Michael Collins was Irish enough. MICHAEL COLLINS.
I do agree that maybe should have had more Stormtroopers.
But my favourite has to be Claus with the average review and a simple question. Why DID the Irish hate the British so much?
The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006)
A young Cillian Murphy graced our screens and stole our hearts in this heartbreaking story set during the Civil War.
Director Ken Loach received a lot of criticism at the time from British critics which said the movie made them look a bit evil. Some reviewers agreed.
This woman was both angry at the depiction and the fact that the title was the only good thing in it.
And this guy seemed to have a whale of a time.
The Guard (2011)
Our beloved Brendan Gleeson starred alongside Don Cheadle and Mark Strong to produce an excellent and funny take on life as guard in the west.
Some people didn’t seem to be sure as to what they were getting involved in.
Others seemed to take issue with the accents.
This person took the film very personally indeed and seemed to go a bit over the top.
And finally we had the guy who just didn’t know..
Never change Amazon.
