I posted a review of the book Grimms' Fairy Tales here: http://www.librarything.com/work/1455755/reviews/90248558
Seconds after it was posted, I see it was blue flagged! Could someone either explain why or please counter-flag it?

The flag has now disappeared. Thanks to the counter-flagger, or perhaps there was a glitch in the matrix.

On a broader topic, I have to say that the flagging of short reviews, especially those which are sentence fragments has gotten so out of hand that I now have my review order reversed and look at the down-flagged reviews first.
Unless I'm seriously misunderstanding something, the length of the entry is not a criteria for flagging. If it uses a word involving evaluation (like "no") or it is a plot summary, with or without spoilers (Henry loses his shoes), it is a legitimate review, even if you personally don't find it informative.

You're not wrong.

Here is another example, and it's not even short. This is not my review but there is no reason why it should be blue flagged:
