When people who haven't seen the movie flood it with 1 star reviews to make a point. Or when people create hundreds-to-thousands of burner accounts to make 1 star reviews to prove a point. Often both.

Right wing nerds are probably the most pathetic bunch in existence. They ally themselves with people who are literally their bullies. If they weren't being useful idiots, they would be getting picked on mercilessly for engaging in "nerd shit".

I don't disagree, but Democrats are just as capable of review bombing as Republicans.

Like, review bombing is a unifying principle of sweaty internet losers that transcends all borders.

You are correct.

Games are politically reviewed?

Games have been political since Gamergate.

No, all the people review bombing Assassins Creed Shadows for having a black man in it are doing it for totally apolitical reasons.

This whole culture around review bombing, hate-watching, etc. is so odd to me. Like what a strange way to spend your time.

I cant imagine what its like to have such a lack of a personality that this is what one does.
It really is a trip. Back before social media and the huge presence of the internet, we wrote fan letters in and hoped to get published and I feel like people in a fandom actually liked the thing they're theoretically fans of.

That said, i do think the ironic watch is valid. A show or film you think is bad, but in a fun way that makes you appreciate it in a different manner than intended.

You thought wrong.

I distinctly remember stumbling on a page-long letter from a Star Wars fan magazine announcing they were shutting down because the new movie showed that the series had "irrevocably lost its way" and "abandoned everything that we the fans loved about the series."

The movie in question: Empire Strikes Back. The letter was from 1982.

Yeah, fandoms have never been any different than what they are.

Do they verify that
  • Participant watched it
  • Participant is human
  • Participant only entered 1 review
?

Yeah, but back then, we only got them in small doses. I miss the days when every idiot didn't have their own platform.

I looked into it. It seems you need to have pro to input a score but there is a free trial.

How do I register on IMDb?

Ready to get started?
Visit the IMDbPro sign up page and select Try IMDbPro for free
Select the IMDbPro subscription that's right for you by clicking "Start Free Trial" or "Start Basic Subscription".
Enter the email address and password for your existing Amazon account and select Sign in using our secure server

So people would have to have nothing better to do in order to purposely lower the score.

I doubt that Snow White is any worse than the Disney Tangled. I watched Tangled because KHIII has a related trophy I poured lots of hours into and because I was getting tired of watching well received [by fans] films for 5 minutes and searching for another one. I just watched it even though it did not measure up for me.

Down to 1.6 lol. I clicked the rating and saw this notice:

I'm sure it will get lower still...

Has anyone here seen it?

If Yes, how far does it stray from the original?

I feel for Gal Gadot, she couldn't help where she was born and I feel that the lead actress should have kept the politics of Gaza out of the conversation. This led to them having to put extra security for Gal as a result of the outspoken Rachel Zegler's comments.

This is why you can never trust audience scores anymore.

Especially on anything remotely controversial.

I only look at confirmed purchasers or more often critics scores now.

It's why the incel brigade hates themselves so much. They feel inferior because they believe in the dumb Alpha chuddery on masculinity, so they hate themselves. And the only way they feel a smidge better is by lashing out at others over their self hate.
