According to reports from Variety<\/em><\/a> <\/em>and Deadline<\/em><\/a>, the delay is supposed to help stave off review bombing, or the act of flooding a particular show, movie, game, or book with negative remarks.<\/p>\n An Amazon representative told Variety<\/em> that it put the policy in place to give the service time to evaluate whether a user review comes from an actual viewer \u2014 not a bot or troll looking to hijack the reviews section. Amazon introduced the policy earlier this summer, starting with its reboot of A League of Their Own<\/em>, which contended with review bombers<\/a> who opposed the show\u2019s political stance.<\/p>\n The Rings of Power<\/em> is, unfortunately, dealing with a similar influx of negative reviews, with some users targeting its inclusion of actors from underrepresented backgrounds. The series offers a different take on J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s The Lord of the Rings<\/em> universe, and is set during Middle-earth\u2019s Second Age. Amazon says the series raked in 25 million global viewers<\/a> the day it premiered, making it the biggest debut for Amazon Prime Video to date.<\/p>\n But despite Amazon\u2019s efforts to hold back a wave of bad reviews on its platform, this still doesn\u2019t stop The Rings of Power<\/em> from getting review bombed on other websites, like Rotten Tomatoes and the Amazon-owned IMDb. The series currently has a general audience rating of 34 percent on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, while 24.7 percent of reviewers on IMDb<\/a> gave it one star.<\/p>\n In 2019, Rotten Tomatoes attempted to address this issue by deploying verified reviews<\/a> that let users show proof that they purchased tickets to the film they\u2019re reviewing. It also started blocking users from posting reviews about movies that haven\u2019t even been released yet<\/a>. This obviously doesn\u2019t help much when it comes to TV reviews, but came in response to users who bombarded Captain Marvel<\/em>, Black Panther<\/em>, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi<\/em><\/a> with bad faith reviews at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
