After Rotten Tomates Removes 93% Of Reviews, Captain Marvel Still Sucks
• https://www.zerohedge.com, By Tyler DurdenAfter Rotten Tomatoes removed over 50,000 Captain Marvel reviews, or around 93%, the movie's audience score barely moved - rising from a dismal 32% to a pathetic 36%.
While the unusually high user rating count was widely reported as the work of sexist, pro-patriarchy "trolls" - Rotten Tomatoes told Hollywood Reporter that the problem was due to a "bug in the post-release functionality for movies that have released into theaters since our product update last week," which "included both pre-release and post-release fan voting."
Rotten Tomatoes recently retooled its scoring system in an effort to combat trolls from sandbagging scores for movies they believed inferior and hadn't necessarily seen. A film now can no longer be "reviewed" by audiences before it is released. -Hollywood Reporter
Metacritic's user score, meanwhile, is just 2.9 out of 10, which is terrible.
