This is quoted from the above post and emphasized here for truth.
Reviews are meaningless attempts to persuade others to see your point of view and gain their attention and admiration. There are no reviews of any kind which do not come from the subjective experiences of the reviewer.
In any field the most popular reviewers are either loved or hated by the majority of people. Some examples would be Suckling on cigars, Robert Parker on wine, Zagat on restaurants, etc. Although their reviews and others may be helpful, they are indeed pointless.

Yeah, but they are enjoyable to many. That alone makes them more than meaningless. I personally enjoy reviews even for cigars I don't care for.
