The difference must violate one of those four conditions only then does it stop being fair use.
Good, so then I can post all my favorite movies online on my website and all I have to do is say, "this is the best western movie ever." or "this is the coolest sci fi movie I have ever seen." or "this comedy made me laugh hard." and I am covered?

If it was so easy why isn't every torrent and filelocker site in the world doing just that?

The reason is because you are wrong. One of the four conditions of fair us is: 3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole;
