Rotten Tomatoes takes on trolls by removing 'want to see' scores

Rotten Tomatoes is overhauling its Audience Rating System in an effort to stamp out so-called "review bombing." As part of the ongoing changes, the review aggregation site is axing the "want to see" audience anticipation rating ahead of a film's release. The update arrives in the wake of the latest "review bombing" campaign against Captain Marvel, the first female-led Marvel Studios movie, which saw trolls weaponize the user rating system to drive down its "want to see" score to a paltry 28 percent. This despite all box office tracking estimates indicating the film was set for a blockbuster opening. According to Rotten Tomatoes, visitors were confusing the "want to see" rating with its "Audience Score."
