Rotten Tomatoes is no longer allowing people to post comments about films before they come out, to try to stop trolling. The site announced the change in a blog post, saying some comments are"a disservice to our general readership".But the movie site assured fans they would still be able to review films once they're released."Audiences can leave a user rating and comments as they always have.""As of February 25, we will no longer show the 'Want to See' percentage score for a movie during its pre-release period," the blog said.
"Why you might ask? We've found that the 'Want to See' percentage score is often times confused with the 'Audience Score' percentage number.""We're doing it to more accurately and authentically represent the voice of fans, while protecting our data and public forums."The changes come after claims that some fans tried to down-vote Captain Marvel before its release date 8 March.
