Rotten Tomatoes Makes Changes To Combat Trolls – This Week in Geek

Rotten Tomatoes

Movie review site, Rotten Tomatoes is in the process of implementing changes to their website. Moving forward, users will not be able to comment on a film prior to the film’s release. This new change should prevent users from posting negative reviews about a movie prior to it being released to give it a false score.

This move came shortly after Internet Trolls started to comment on Captain Marvel’s Rotten Tomatoes page and giving it negative feedback. This “Review-Bombing” was to purposefully lower the film’s Audience Rating. As a result, the film is currently the lowest-rated MCU film on the website.

Shazam! Star Zachary Levi decided to confront the trolls head in an Instagram video where he tells people that “This is not helping anyone or anything.”

 


Currently, if you head to the Rotten Tomatoes website, you will now see that the ‘Want to See’ percentage score has been changed to just a number. Rotten Tomatoes states that additional changes to the site’s reviewing and filtering systems will possibly come later this year.

 


 

Sylvester Stallone is bringing John Rambo back out of retirement. The Hollywood Reporter reported? Did that sound weird? That Rambo: Last Blood is set to hit theaters on September 20th 2019. This will be Sly’s final performance as John Rambo in this fifth installment of this franchise.

In this film, Rambo will be searching for a friend’s daughter who has been kidnapped and brought across the U.S. – Mexico border. Rambo will be fighting a different war as he takes on one of Mexico’s most violent cartels.

Serigo Peris-Mencheta will be playing Hugo Martinez, the leader of the cartel and the main protagonist of the film. He will be joined by Yvette Monreal as the daughter of Rambo’s friend and Paz Vega as Carmen Delgado, a reporter who teams up with Rambo to search for her kidnapped half-sister.

You can keep up with teases of the film by following Sylvester Stallone’s Instagram page. He has been posting little nuggets of information like Rambo’s new look. With the film being released this fall, we should expect to see a trailer in the coming months.

And finally, all you Star Wars fans can rejoice because we are going to be getting our first official look at Star Wars: Fallen Jedi Order real soon. More specifically, On April 13th.


In a blog post on Starwars.com, it was announced that fans will get their first look at the new game during this year’s Star Wars Celebration in Chicago. “In a special panel on Saturday, April 13, EA and Respawn will pull back the curtain on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, in which gamers will meet a Padawan who survived Order 66 and explore the galaxy in the time after the fall of the Jedi Order. The discussion will feature never-before-released details ahead of the game’s fall 2019 release.”

We hope this means a trailer and some gameplay footage will be shown. You can bet we will be covering any information about Star Wars: Fallen Jedi Order when it drops. Star Wars Celebration Chicago will take place April 11-15 at McCormick Place. Visit StarWarsCelebration.com for tickets and more info!
