Snow White (2025)

Surprisingly, given the controversy and low expectations, early reviews were extremely positive.

Some YT commentators said Disney paid those reviewers to say nice things 😊

That IMDB rating was surely faked by trolls, there's no rating listed now. RT 47% is accurate, which is bad, but not "Madame Web" bad. Disney did pick and choose critics they knew would give out favorable ratings for the earliest screenings, embargoing reviews for everyone else.

That has to be an organized trolling campaign. Sure, it's mediocre to bad, but worst of all time? No way. People don't realize how statistically low a 2.2 IMDB rating is, it's almost impossible to achieve. Plan 9 from Outer Space is a 3.9. Troll 2 is a 3.0. Last year's mega-bomb "Madame Web" was a 4.0.

IMDb does pay attention in some cases. During the Depp v. Heard trial in 2022, Amber Heard's 2019 film Gully (released in the U.S. in 2021) was suddenly bombarded with downvotes. A quick glance at the user reviews makes it clear that many of these accounts were trolls.

Despite Gully holding a 2.8 rating, IMDb has excluded it from the Bottom Rated Movies list, likely recognizing the impact of "Team Depp" downvoting the film en masse.

IMDb has yet to take action against the (allegedly?) organized trolling of Snow White.

Boxofficemojo.com reports that after two days in release at 4200 cinemas, the film has made $43 million. Not looking good so far 😳😳

It's now down to 2.0 and Bottom Rated Movies: #15

I looked this up, & it's behind stuff that's streaming...
Box office reports seam to have it at #1 ahead of stuff that's doing way worse....

1,9 (74.254) just now but not included in the Bottom Rated Movies anymore.

Unlike Gully mentioned above, there are pretty much no one sentence reviews by obvious troll accounts for Snow White. Weird.

my 2c, I don't think there's anything specifically 'organised' about this... every now and then a new film seems to encapsulate everything that gets on a significant proportion of people's nerves, and it ends up being used as a kind of cathartic punchbag. it happened with the GHOSTBUSTERS remake
