Why Thousands Of Captain Marvel Reviews Were Purged From Rotten Tomatoes Over The Weekend
Carol Danvers finally made her MCU debut in theaters this weekend in Captain Marvel, and while it was a smooth and uninterrupted flight at the box office, there was plenty of turbulence on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. Early in the day on Friday, the latest MCU movie had a dismal audience score of 33% on the site from over 58,000 reviews. That afternoon though, the number of audience reviews dropped drastically to 7,000, good for a 35% score.
So why did Rotten Tomatoes purge over 50,000 Captain Marvel reviews from its system? The reason is mostly due to a glitch related to some changes the site recently made, as Rotten Tomatoes explained in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter:
We have identified a bug in the post-release functionality for the movies that have released into theaters since our product update last week. The quantity of user ratings (which is displayed directly below the audience score and is intended to only include the quantity of users who have left a rating or written review after a movies release) had included both pre-release and post-release fan voting.
Basically, the 58,000+ user reviews that showed up on the morning of Captain Marvels release included both new reviews, presumably from audiences who went to Thursday night preview screenings, as well as reviews that were submitted prior to the movies release. Therefore, the reviews were purged so as to only show reviews that could have been submitted by people who had actually seen the movie, versus those who submitted reviews when they couldnt possibly have seen it yet.
This comes after the recent product update Rotten Tomatoes implemented that made it so that audiences couldnt review a movie before it was released. As updates often do, it came with a bug that allowed those older reviews to still initially show up for Captain Marvel. Rotten Tomatoes made other changes to pre-release movies on the site as well, changing the want to see metric from a percentage to simply a running count.
Rotten Tomatoes also made it so that people cant comment on a movie before it hits theaters. The company explained that decision, saying:
We are disabling the comment function prior to a movies release date. Unfortunately, we have seen an uptick in non-constructive input, sometimes bordering on trolling, which we believe is a disservice to our general readership. We have decided that turning off this feature, for now, is the best course of action. Dont worry though, fans will still get to have their say: Once a movie is released, audiences can leave a user rating and comments as they always have.
Non-constructive input? On the internet!? In an effort to combat the non-constructive input, people cant comment on a movie until they could have actually seen it. The only thing they can do now before a movie is released is to say whether they want to see it or not. After the movie is released though, people are free to give their rating and comment as they always have been to have their voices heard.
And calling it bordering on trolling is quite a diplomatic way of addressing what has been going on on the review aggregator. Rotten Tomatoes says that the changes were not made for Captain Marvel specifically, but they have come in the wake of a concerted troll effort to tank the films scores.
The campaign against Captain Marvel came in response to some comments from the films star Brie Larson about inclusion and diversity in the film press, comments which certainly could have been phrased better and ones she later clarified.
Whether Rotten Tomatoes purging of thousands of audience scores, and the retooling of its model that changes what input audiences can give and when, will make a difference is debatable. Despite being purged down to 7,000 on Friday, Captain Marvels audience scores are now back up to a count of over 54,000 with a rating of 58%. Thats more than the number of audience scores for Avengers: Infinity War. Something tells me those scores may not all be legit and submitted in good faith. Especially considering the film has an "A" CinemaScore. Rotten Tomatoes is fighting a losing battle.
It doesnt matter though because Captain Marvel still absolutely crushed at the box office in its opening weekend, breaking records and flying higher, further, faster to instant success. Its almost as if all this trolling had absolutely no effect at all and convinced no one they shouldnt see the movie. Although not everyone loved it and there are legitimate criticisms to be made.
See what we thought of Captain Marvel, and if you haven't checked it out yet, be sure to find out what ticket you should buy when you do. To see all the big movies coming this year that can look forward to their own Rotten Tomatoes drama, take a look at our 2019 release schedule.
