I don't really think what you wrote could be classified as a review. Reviews should contain opinions and original ideas about what you think of the film.
While I don't disagree with what you say, I don't know of another way to document why the TMDB cast listing, in the difference from the IMDB cast listing, is more accurate. What means do you suggest to be able to do this documentation?
If it's different, is it like that for a deliberate reason? If not, why not re-sort the cast?
It sounds like you're looking for more of a generic "notes" section, which we don't support at the moment. I'm not sure if there really is a place to make a note like you're hoping.
I think it's important to try and be correct, as IMDB is often wrong. I have seen where they've elevated a (later well known) cast member in a movie in which they had a bit part. An example of an outright IMDB failure is '12 Angry Men' where the IMDB cast is listed numerically by juror number rather than from the opening and closing credits.
Not sure what I am looking for, but I was trying to foresee someone else wondering why the cast order is not the same as IMDB's.
Ok, that helps me understand where you're coming from.
I can see the value of sharing something like that but just not sure how we could do it in am agnostic yet dynamic way at the moment. I am not a fan of putting data where it doesn't belong. We'll have to think about this one.
