Relentless is correct, IMDB is exceptionally easy to manipulate and their system is a joke. It wouldn't take much effort to incorporate a number of flags to prevent companies manipulating the ratings and reviews but IMDB don't seem to care.

It's a long semi-professionally written glowing review by pipoulefr. He must really love movies and be an extrodinary critic to be up voted so heavily by other IMDB accounts. I wonder why this is the First And Only review pipoulefr ever posted on IMDB about any movie. I guess he was just so moved by this one film that he suddenly decided to become an active reviewer on IMDB... and all the upvotes can easily be explained as begginer's luck.

That's much more plausible than a manufactured marketing campaign being heavily funded by people with 160M dollars at stake... Right?
