NETFLIX EXPOSED FOR FAKE IMDB RATINGS

While I don't doubt that a very large number of the reviews are paid, I've seen several discussions where people said they intended to binge it immediately when it's available.

In addition, for all the youtubers operating in the "fantasy community" (lol) that do game, movie, and book reviews, it's a huge deal to get your reviews out early.

There are already tons of Rise of Skywalker reviews out and it's been basically one day - and you have to get to a theater to do that one.

Glad yo see so many insomniacs finally got some shut eye.

I just tried posting an average review on IMDB, twice, But it won't accept it.

Suspicious.

I just scored it a bit higher and guess what? My review was posted. Any journalist want to out IMDB's fake rating system

They're allowing all the 10/10 reviews with comments of just random letters like "kljhhhbbh" But not actual people who saw it?

IMDB has really lost its relevancy the last few years because of shit like this (along with the closing of the boards). Nobody takes the reviews on there seriously anymore.

So far I've read almost 6 identical 10/10 reviews by different users on IMDB. What kind of shit is IMDB running? Clearly Netflix's hand is in on this.

Rotten Tomatoes are keeping it real. 58% Critics. 90% Audience.

R8 That sounds about right. And you know that the 90% rating is from fangurls who would eat his shit if they thought it would be a way to show their support.

There are some fan boys on youtbube who is eating up the shit, too. It got me wondering whether I was watching the same show.

I haven't been inside an actual theater in years - I watch films online.

Rise of Skywalker was online the day after release so if I wanted to watch it I could review it.

Ever since imdb took away the message boards, I go to wikipedia to get my cinema news, trivia, plot etc.

Fuck imdb

Do the computer gamers and nerds like the Netflix adaption? They are the ones who can make or break a show with a big computer gamers and nerd fanbase when they vote on polls and social media as a (united) group.

I don't think the voting matters more so than the actual viewership on Netflix.

That show has very passionate fans. I have no doubt some of them got together on Reddit or on Discord a while ago and hatched a plan to bomb IMDb with perfect scores the minute the series dropped. There are also fans who want the show to do well and so immediately gave it a 10 on their own. And I doubt Netflix would bother risking a scandal by buying votes.

It's definitely not a 10, though.

The second episode reminded me of American Horror Coven, when Yennifer went to witch school.

Another flop.

R14 that makes sense. IMDB and RT need to sort this shit out

R16 Except for the fraus and gamers who are all cheering forward with positive reviews on Twitter and IMDB

I can't imagine anything with Henry Cavill could get 10/10 unless he's showing cock.

If you're considering watching it, read this first, just the first couple, and then decide if this is how you want to spend your time.

Rise of Skywalker still holding at 86% Audience with 60K reviews - the SAME Audience score that it's had at every update, no matter how many new reviews were added since only 6K reviews.

How could anyone argue that the rating isn't being manipulated.

R21 Exactly. RT and IMDB need to shut them down unless they're being paid by the big wigs like Netflix and Disney. Which obviously they are.

IMDB is an Amazon company, and as on Amazon there are all sorts of shills posting reviews and ratings and miscellaneous others grinding their axes. If you want to see shill ratings check out the reviews for "Joker." I'd say one in twenty actually saw the film.

It seems like there is a big difference between shills posting reviews and RT where there is clearly more to it. Even if there were hundreds or even thousands of shill reviews, the actual 86% would have changed at some point during the past 40K+ reviews.

Reviews/ratings for shows or products coming from reviewers with under five reviews and stellar reviews for products/shows all from the same company, are suspect.

Anyone know what happened to all the exciting "features and application"s IMDB promised when they took away those message boards?

That excuse has proven to be utter bullshit.

R26 Oh yeah! I forgot about that empty promise.
