If a review is incorporated within the text of the Overview then it is to be included...as is the case of the Overview cited in the posted image.

I can't see how you can have any other answer than yes. Apart from the fact that the rules tell us to leave them, how else would you deal with them - simply remove them from the overview and be left with a sentence that no longer makes sense?

I do not agree. An overview is "a general summary of a subject" and since the subject is the movie Terminator 3 and only the first paragraph contains the summary I conclude the second and third paragraph should not be part of it.

Quote Overview:

Quote:
This is the day of reckoning. Out of the ashes of our world, they will rise. A new generation of terminator, designed to annihilate the human race... and our last hope, will be one of them.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER is back and he "commands the screen" as THE TERMINATOR in this long-awaited new installment in one of the most exciting movie franchises ever.

NICK STAHL, CLAIRE DANES and lethal beauty KRISTANNA LOKEN also star in T3 - the year's biggest movie event that "completely lives up to the hype" with a spectacular mix of unrelenting action, jaw dropping special effects and blockbuster movie making at its very best.

No sorry, the overview on that cover runs from "This is the day.." all the way to "at its very best." The other two paragraphs are still summarising the film.

By this argument there is no Overview, just three paragraphs of wind written by a marketing flak, no summary at all.

All three paragraphs constitute the Overview by Profiler's definition.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

Included on that page is this definition: 'A summary or review.'  Why did you ignore that definition? 

Needless to say, I agree with everyone else.  All three paragraphs should be entered.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

I agree with the others...Martin strikes again.

@Unicus: The answer to the question is self-evident given the source.

All you have to do is FOLLOW the Ruiles, martin. It really isn't that hard.

Or is it that the only review parts are:

Quote:
"commands the screen*"
"completely lives up to the hype**"


and the rest is the "overview"?

Those are quotes from reviews incorporated into the overview. As such the entire 3 paragraphs belongs in the overview.

That's what I was afraid of. In that case the answer to my question is: YES.
