To what extent would you say that online film reviews are postmodern?

1.Are online reviews inter textual or bricolage? Why?
2.How do the reviews relate to Baudrillards theory of simulacra?
3.Was this a positive or negative review?
4.How reliable are the reviews?Would you go to see a film based on its review?

The film review i have chosen to look at is about the recently released film '127 Hours' produced by Danny Boyle and tell the amazing story about survival. The review I'm looking at is written by film critic Phillip French of the  newspaper The Guardian.

Film reviews are inter textual within themselves as if there is no film then there is nothing to relate the review to. The reviews generally relate to the theory of Baudrillard as this film has received rave reviews and also has the top ratings and high viewings that intertwine with this.
