i can't speak to what happened with Ghostbusters 2016 but before watching I checked the metacritic user reviews for LOTR:ROP and there was blatant "review bombing" if that's the right term, where it was so blatantly obvious that a large proportion of the 0/10 reviews were manufactured by one person. (they made the exact same points, and had ~100 users supporting that review, whereas genuine appearing reviews rating 2-8 had at most ~5 users supporting a review)

- denlekke 4y agoyeah that's fair. i should have said "a large proportion of the 0/10 reviews i looked at" and even then i admit that there is no perfect way to determine what is and isn't a fake review. i guess i have very little faith that any platform does any work to combat review bombing so i take a very skeptical look at anything i see. i'd also wish for more powerful user tools to automate some of the things that looked suspicious to me such as filtering the score to exclude new accounts, accounts which have only reviewed one thing, reviews that are just the exact same sentence, reviews which have tons of "helpful" reactions the moment they are posted.
