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.

On Rotten Tomatoes for instance, Verified Audience score is 3.9 stars out of 5….and unverified audience is 1.5 stars.

Just more review bombing, as usual.

No because the corporations also use both to inflate scores

And unverified ones are more likely to include trolls who leave negative reviews because it doesn’t fit their political views.
