I don't want to come off as a movie snob, I'd like to have a memorable everyman title...

The username doesn't really matter at this point, I still have to find out the format and various rules for posting.In some posts, I've read a user say - "I had to keep this review under the character limit ", and then write a brief, 2 paragraph review.

So how come Mr War & Peace up there can vomit out 5000 words?

Thanks Lance

I've read plenty with spoilers that didn't contain the warning. 'Big twist at the end with the protagonist dying..."

Gee thanks twerp.

It's funny they don't mention terms and profanity...maybe in the guidelines?

The Guidelines:

User Reviews Guidelines

Please note there is a 1,000 word limit on reviews. The recommended length is 200 to 500 words. The minimum length for reviews is 10 lines of text. Reviews which are too short or have been padded with junk text will be discarded. You may only post a single review per title.
What to include:

Your reviews should focus on the title's content and context. The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a movie or TV-series, but also why. Feel free to mention other titles you consider similar and how this one rates in comparison to them. Reviews that are not specific to the title will not be posted on our site. Please write in English only and note that we do not support HTML mark-up within the reviews.
What not to include:

Resist the temptation to review on other reviews or features visible on the page. This information (and its position on the page) is subject to change without notice. A review form is not an appropriate place to tell us there are errors in the database. If you'd like to tell us about a specific problem, please click the 'Update Information' button near the bottom of the main details page.

IMDb is pleased to provide this forum for you to air your opinions on your favorite (or not-so-favorite) movies and TV-series. While we appreciate your time and reviews, we respectfully request that you refrain from including the following in your review:

Profanity, obscenities, or spiteful remarks.
Time-sensitive material (i.e., promotional tours, seminars, lectures, etc.).
Single-word reviews. We want to know why you liked or disliked the title.
Avoid unannounced spoilers! Please don't reveal crucial plot elements. If you include a spoiler without warning readers in advance your name will be added to a blacklist and, subsequently, all your reviews will be discarded automatically. To label a spoiler make sure you check the 'contains spoilers' checkbox.
Phone numbers, mail addresses, URLs.
Availability, price, or ordering/shipping information.
Writing in ALL-CAPS! Writing sentences in all-uppercase characters is considered "SHOUTING" and must be avoided.

Any review in violation of these guidelines will not be posted or may be edited to conform to the guidelines. In addition, IMDb reserves the right not to post any review for any reason.

Additional notes:

All submitted reviews become the licensed property of IMDb as set forth in our copyrights page.
Your submission must be your own original work.
Your reviews will normally be posted on the site within seven business days.
Please write in English only. HTML or boards mark-up is not supported though paragraph breaks will be inserted if you leave a blank line between paragraphs.
