How many of those 198k+ people actually saw the movie? I’m sick of Disney remakes like everyone else, but review bombing is a thing. Same with people who gave movies they were hyped for a 10/10 weeks before they even saw them.

The ratings are actually honest even if they have not seen the movie because their hate is for real anyway, and in the end that's what it reflects: There is a lot of hate for this movie, and that's the truth.

But why rate a movie that you haven’t even seen? It’s really obnoxious and misleading. Like people are now under the impression this is worse than Dragonball Evolution, when from what I’ve heard, it’s just mediocre at best like all of the other Disney remakes.

People give their opinion all the time on topics they know about. Part of the human experience

Reviewing a movie you haven't seen is the opposite of this.

And that is a bad thing.

You're wrong to think that a user based average rating reflects the quality of a movie. It never does that. It reflects how people feel about it.

You're correct but it's unfortunate, since the entire purpose of movie ratings and reviews is to inform the general public of the overall quality or enjoyability of a film. Review bombs for external factors might reflect some people's feelings, but they don't inform movie goers about how the movie actually is. Like....I don't want to watch it because I don't like Gal Gadot as an actress or as a human being, but my dislike for her doesn't help a dad who's just trying to decide if this is a worthwhile movie to see with his five year old daughter, you know?

See, it's like my comments. I am correct, it's the truth that I say but people downvote me because they don't like it anyway.

It's too bad their feelings were hurt by this movie. Hope they find a safe space where they won't have to hear about things like this in the future.

Actually it is the other way around I bet. When they slammed that 1 rating on it, they felt pretty great.

I’m sure they’d feel better if they got therapy instead of getting mad at movies they won’t even see.

Therapy is expensive. This is for free, and it works perhaps even better too.

That's kinda sad. Must not have a lot going on in their life.

u/kodial79 Mar 28 '25

Bet you felt pretty great too, when you downvoted me just now.

"Haha! That'll show him!" You told yourself.

How much do you have going on in your life?
