Forbes: Does Review Bombing Actually Hurt Movies, TV Shows And Video Games?
In the world of entertainment, review bombing is a common occurrence that can sway public opinion but doesn't always impact the success of a film, TV show, or video game. Rotten Tomatoes is a popular review aggregator for movies, but its verification system was introduced to combat review bombing. Marvel's "Captain Marvel" faced review bombing due to controversial comments by the lead actress, but it still made over $1 billion at the box office. Critics and fan reviews often differ, and positive scores don't always guarantee success. TV shows face similar challenges with review bombing, especially in genres like superheroes, sci-fi, and fantasy. Marvel's "She-Hulk" received mixed reviews from critics and fans, leading to uncertainty about its future. Streaming platforms like Netflix prioritize watch time and budget over reviews when deciding to renew or cancel a series. In the video game industry, review bombing is prevalent, but professional critic reviews have a larger impact than user scores. Games with high critic scores tend to sell well, while low-scoring games struggle. User reviews on Metacritic are often ignored due to the prevalence of review bombing. Overall, fan scores and review bombing rarely determine the success or failure of entertainment projects.
