The requirement for reviews posted this time is that they be as long as possible. I have chosen this theme because it mirrors the challenge that inspired these rounds and because it is objective. For the purposes here, length is defined by the number of letters, numbers, currency symbols, units etc. Spaces and punctuation do not count.
Please post a specific link to your longest review (or links if you have more than one review with the same number of letters) and give a clear spoiler warning if appropriate. Please do not link to any other reviews.
You are welcome to post existing reviews, but particularly encouraged to write new ones fitting the requirement. If a longer review gets approved, please delete your previous link(s). (Striking through is not deleting.)
Like all challenges, this will be completely open-ended, due to the (admittedly decreasing) delay in approvals and the fact that inspiration does not come at will. Good luck!
I've got two reviews and two pending with 37 letters.
I for some reason didn't think of this possibility, so have amended the opening post. I think it's reasonable to post all of your joint longest.

I would always like more reviews to be written as the result of these rounds. If that happened, the current longest wouldn't necessarily stay the longest.
I've submitted a review just to fit this thread and will post if/when it gets approved.
Good stuff. By the way, I'm glad/interested to see that you write (spell, according to John FitzGerald!) it Hawai'i. That is how I write it, but I didn't know whether current Hawai'ians often wrote it that way.

The ancient Hawaiians did not have a written language. the ' is a glottal stop called okina. Most Kama'aina (children of the land) spell and say Hawai'i this way.
Might I suggest a couple of additional ground rules for reviews used on this thread (which don't affect any posted so far)?
1. No made up words. Specifically, I'm thinking of stuff like Rovark's (admittedly brilliant) review 'Van Dyke's psuedo-cockney-unrealistic-especially-atrocious accent.' for Mary Poppins.
2. While we're on the subject, no use of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. It's just not fair, and since it can only really be used in a Mary Poppins review, it would make this challenge very uninteresting very fast.
