The review traffic has a lot more to do with who cares about the movie. Kingpin, however awesome, is a little old to really get people going.

Anything old is very unlikely to get a lot of responses, simply because nobody has ever heard of it. And, strangely enough, many many people refuse to watch black and white movies, bizarre as that sounds to me. Many refuse to watch movies with subtitles, which also sounds bizarre to me but at least I can understand it somewhat.

So even a great review of a great movie can easily get no responses. Quality can be the least important factor in provoking responses. Heck, I'm not sure a review of a porno film wouldn't get just as many responses as a review of many classic films.

And as someone noted, if a review is good, often there's nothing to add. It might even be the worst reviews that get the most responses!
