Less than a day after the first two episodes of Amazon’s mega-budget fantasy series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” went to air, the series has found its audience score being ‘review bombed’ with Amazon itself outright suspending reviews on its platform.
An Amazon source tells THR that reviews are being held 72 hours to help weed out trolls and to ensure each review is legitimate. On Rotten Tomatoes, the series snagged an 84% critics score but only a 37% audience score, with a similar story on Metacritic with critics at 71/100 whilst users are at 1.1/10.
This follows in the wake of Marvel’s “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” a series that saw itself ‘review bombed’ last week with a similar 88% critics and 36% audience score. As the days have passed and more legitimate audience votes have come in for that show, the audience score has risen to 50%.
Amazon also owns IMDB, but hasn’t suspended that site’s audience ratings, with the show sitting at a 6.1 average score and – surprise, surprise – most viewers are either voting scores of 10 or 1, which suggests no major online audience scores for the show should be considered accurate at this time.
Maybe we don't need to let random people drop random numbers anywhere. |
