The Rotten Tomatoes’ “Captain Marvel” page saga continues. Leading up to the release of Marvel’s “big feminist movie,” the review site felt compelled to make some significant, site-wide changes after “right-wing trolls” drove the film’s “Want to See” score down to a miserable 27%. Not only did the site drop the score altogether, it disabled the user comment function prior to a film’s release. But on the day of the Brie Larson-starring film’s release, the page was flooded with negative fan reviews, prompting Rotten Tomatoes to reportedly purge about 50,000 comments it deemed to be the work of trolls.
So, how is the feminist-themed “Captain Marvel” faring at Rotten Tomatoes after the purge? Not great. While it’s crushing it at the box office and it still enjoys a solid 80% among critics (down from about 92% in the early reviews), the film has still failed to get to a “fresh” rating among viewers. It currently sits at a “spilled popcorn” 58% in its audience score:
