CNet:

Review site Rotten Tomatoes is instituting some changes, leading many to believe it's responding to the recent controversy over the site's Captain Marvel page. But Paul Yanover, president of Fandango, which owns the site, told CNET that's not the whole story.

In case you were snapped away by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, and thus missed the recent controversy, here's a recap. Captain Marvel doesn't come out until March 8, but users were already leaving negative comments about the film on Rotten Tomatoes, a process dubbed "review bombing." Many recent comments seemed to come from those who are angry at star Brie Larson.

The movie review site has removed users' ability to leave reviews or to indicate they are not interested in seeing a film [EDIT: before it comes out].

    But but but.. shouldn't she be more inclusive, just because it is a negative criticism... after all a person with integrity should be willing to take criticism. Of course some or most (no idea on ratio) are trolls, but discounting an entire demographic, 40-year-old-white-males, because a small fraction of it commented on an internet site, strikes me as a person who is pretty prejudiced.

    I'm a 40 year male, just not white. I wonder what her views are on my "kind".

    Your kind is shit because you are male.

    My friend and I watched Tangled. He had downloaded it because he thought it was a gore movie with lots of blood and violence. We enjoyed it very much.

      Well, a fair amount of violence anyway.

      Did he throw up when they kissed?

        Nope, we genuinely enjoyed it. We were smoking weed, but we would have done that even if it had been a splatter film.
