'Captain Marvel' Review Bombing Causing More Problems for Rotten Tomatoes
Internet trolls displayed such a strong presence on Captain Marvel's Rotten Tomatoes page that the [...]
"Shockingly Low"
Fun fact: #CaptainMarvel already has 58,000 user reviews on @RottenTomatoes with a "shockingly low" score of 31% (average user rating - 2/5). For reference, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 3 (which has been out for nearly a month just in North America) has just 51k user reviews. pic.twitter.com/JlL3Hj8bxi

prevnextThis is a problem for absolutely no one except ROTTEN TOMATOES. If they want us to take their audience user scores remotely seriously, they need to do something about this.

Something Is Off
prevnextAccording to @RottenTomatoes' audience score, more people saw CAPTAIN MARVEL during Thursday night previews than saw AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR for the whole of its theatrical run and home video release.

Waiting For An Update
prevnextMe waiting for @RottenTomatoes to run a script purging any review score submitted by a new account that hasn’t reviewed anything but Alita and #CaptainMarvel. pic.twitter.com/Hy9JpTtEzx

Disconcerting
prevnextI'm not on the #CaptainMarvel hate train nor the bandwagon. I am disappointed the reasonable consensus is 'generic action film' but I'm still gonna catch it.
That said, I find @RottenTomatoes purging 54K reviews disconcerting. I don't believe that CM only had 4K genuine reviews. pic.twitter.com/CXn1mPTdws
