Critics and consumers having opposing views on the quality of a movie or show is certainly nothing new—Netflix’s Don’t Look Up is a good example of that—and some site users complain about The Rings of Power’s story and acting, but there are plenty of criticisms over the casting and how it doesn’t “honor Tolkien’s vision.” Other review sites have various policies for mitigating review bombings. Metacritic stopped allowing reviews to be posted within the first 36 hours of a game’s release, likely due to story details about The Last of Us Part 2 leaking before it arrived, while Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t allow reviews of movies that haven’t been released.
